Jenna Ortega and Rose Byrne will soon be seen together in a new film like Whiplash. The upcoming film comes from Warner Bros. Clockwork, a specialty label also behind Sean Baker’s next film. It will mark Byrne’s second collaboration with filmmaker Mary Bronstein.
What do we know about the new Jenna Ortega and Rose Byrne movie?
WB Clockwork has announced that both Jenna Ortega and Rose Byrne have been cast in a thriller titled Nasty. The film’s logline reads, “Battling for a spot on the Olympic gymnastics team, a prodigious athlete must overcome her biggest opponent: her coach.”
Bronstein is directing Nasty after they previously collaborated on If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. Byrne received a Best Actress nomination at the Academy Awards for her performance in it. Bronstein previously directed and starred in the 2008 comedy Yeast, which also featured Greta Gerwig in a supporting role.
The announcement poster for the film features art from Bronstein, which was accompanied by the text, “If you don’t hate it, you don’t love it,” on social media.
Nasty will be produced by Ortega in partnership with Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap. The film is being written by Isabella Jarosz, with it being their first script sale. One notable feature of the screenplay is that it was a Black List entrant in 2024. Nasty is aiming to begin production later this fall.
The film marks Clockwork’s latest feature, which was founded by Neon executives Christian Parkes, Jason Wald, and Spencer Collantes. Clockwork will also release a restored 4K version of Ken Russell’s The Devils later this year. Byrne will be next seen in Peacock’s The Good Daughter, and Ortega will lead the upcoming comedy Klara and the Sun.
Warner Bros. Clockwork did not announce a release date for Nasty.
