Ortega, Byrne Unite for Gymnastics Thriller 'Nasty'

Rose Byrne and Jenna Ortega are collaborating on Mary Bronstein's upcoming film, "Nasty." The project, penned by Isabella Jarosz, centers on a gifted young athlete whose ambition to join the Olympic gymnastics team is challenged by a contentious relationship with her coach.

LuckyChap, the production company behind "Barbie," is involved in producing "Nasty" alongside Ortega. Filming is slated to commence this fall. This film marks a new venture for Clockwork, a recently established specialty label at Warner Bros. formed by former Neon executives.

Byrne, an Oscar nominee for "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You," will also appear in the Peacock series "The Good Daughter." Ortega is set to feature in the sci-fi drama "Klara and the Sun" later this year. Bronstein and Jarosz are represented by prominent agencies.

Clockwork's slate also includes Sean Baker's post-"Anora" feature, "Ti Amo!," and a first-look deal with producer Chris Ferguson's Oddfellows studio.
