Jenna Ortega and Rose Byrne are set to star in the upcoming drama Nasty, from filmmaker Mary Bronstein. The project reteams Bronstein with Byrne, who received her first Best Actress Oscar nomination for the director’s If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. Nasty was a 2024 Black List screenplay by Isabella Jarosz, and it reps the scribe’s first script sale.

Nasty centers around a prodigious athlete who is battling for a spot on the Olympics gymnastics team. However, she must overcome her biggest opponent: Her coach.

Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap and Ortega are producing the project. The film is set to start shooting this Fall.

Ortega is best known for her roles in the Netflix series Wednesday, and the film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. She will next be seen in Taika Waititi’s sci-fi drama Klara and the Sun. Byrne has been in a ton of great comedies like Bridesmaids, Neighbors & Spy, and she received her first Academy Award nomination for her dramatic work in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.

She will appear next in the series The Good Daughter, set for release this November.
