I, TONYA: How Margot Robbie Learned to Skate While Allison Janney Needed an Oxygen Tank
Manage episode 420864448 series 3456309
Producer Bryan Unkeless recounts the making of 2017's smash I, TONYA. The script, floating around the industry as a spec, was about the incredible life and rise to fame of professional skater Tonya Harding, focusing on the events surrounding the attack on Nancy Kerrigan at the 1994 National Figure Skating Championships. Bryan knew it could be something special if he assembled the right team. Margot and Tom were the first pieces of the puzzle to fall into place and once Director Craig Gillespie came on board, it was full steam ahead. Margot was a true partner, participating in pitches to secure financing and spending months training and learning to skate the full routines. All the risks taken paid off when the film wowed audiences and was nominated for three Oscars.
