Jenna Ortega and Rose Byrne are set to star in a new movie directed by Mary Bronstein, with a script by Isabella Jarosz that has already made waves on the 2024 Black List. The film, titled 'Nasty', is a gripping tale of a young athlete's journey to the Olympics, facing her greatest challenge: her coach. This project marks a reunion for Byrne and Bronstein, who previously collaborated on the acclaimed 'If I Had Legs I’d Kick You', earning Byrne an Oscar nomination. With the involvement of production company LuckyChap and the rising star of Ortega, 'Nasty' is poised to be a significant release. The film's production is set to commence this fall, marking another step in the career of Bronstein, who is represented by CAA and Yorn Levine. This news comes as part of a broader expansion of Warner Bros' specialty label, Clockwork, which has also secured deals with producer Chris Ferguson and his studio Oddfellows, further solidifying its position in the industry. The success of 'Nasty' is expected to build on the momentum of 'If I Had Legs I’d Kick You', showcasing the talent of both the director and the cast, and further cementing the reputation of Warner Bros' specialty label, Clockwork.
