Eiza González and Brandon Sklenar are set to star in "Iron Jane," a new film delving into the competitive bodybuilding world.
Lissette Feliciano wrote and will direct the project, which follows Janie John (González), a woman seeking visibility and strength in female bodybuilding after a neglected childhood. Coached by a former champion (Sklenar), Janie embarks on a rigorous transformation.
Her journey involves extreme training and performance enhancers, leading to rapid physical changes and a struggle with her perception of reality. The film explores the intense system that rewards perfection and punishes weakness.
"Iron Jane" is described as a story about finding strength in surrender. Feliciano praised González's bravery and commitment to the role, noting her inspiring transformation. Sklenar's quiet presence as the coach adds to the film's dynamic.
Highland Film Group is handling international sales, introducing the project at the Cannes Marché du Film, while CAA Media Finance and WME Independent represent U.S. rights. The film is co-financed by Highland Film Group, Sugar Rush Pictures, and Gramercy Park.
