Eiza González and Brandon Sklenar are set to star in 'Iron Jane', a female bodybuilding drama written and directed by Lissette Feliciano. The film follows Janie John (González), who after a neglected childhood finds purpose in competitive bodybuilding, coached by a former champion (Sklenar). As she transforms her body through extreme training and enhancers, her grip on reality begins to fracture.
Highland Film Group will introduce the project to buyers at the Cannes Marché du Film, with CAA Media Finance and WME Independent handling U.S. rights. The film is co-financed by Highland Film Group, Sugar Rush Pictures, and Gramercy Park.
Feliciano said the story explores true strength found in surrender, praising González's physical and emotional commitment. Producers include Andrea Bucko, Jay Glazer, Matthew Cooper, Anna Dragoo, Ford Corbett, Nathan Klingher, González, Sklenar, and Feliciano.
González, known for 'Baby Driver' and '3 Body Problem', will next appear in Guy Ritchie's 'In the Grey'. Sklenar, who broke out in '1923', recently starred in 'The Housemaid'. Feliciano's debut feature 'Women is Losers' premiered at SXSW and was acquired by HBO Max.
