Highland Film Group<\/a> is handling international sales and will introduce the project to buyers at the Cannes March\u00e9 du Film. CAA Media Finance and WME Independent rep U.S. rights.<\/p>\n\n\tAccording to the synopsis, \u201cIron Jane\u201d follows Janie John (Gonz\u00e1lez), who after a childhood shaped by neglect and invisibility is pulled into a world that finally sees her, where pain is power and bodies are built, not born. Female bodybuilding offers her something she\u2019s never had: the chance to become untouchable. Coached by a former champion (Sklenar), she begins an extreme transformation, pushing her body past its limits through relentless training, enhancers, and dependence. As her physique sharpens, Janie rises fast, but her grip on reality fractures. Trapped in a system that rewards perfection and punishes weakness, Janie spirals toward a godlike ideal that\u2019s slowly destroying her from within.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201c\u2019Iron Jane\u2019 is a story about discovering that true strength is often found in surrender,\u201d said Feliciano. \u201cEiza brings a physical and emotional commitment, bravery, and collaborative spirit to the role that fully realizes the character I imagined on the page. Her transformation into Jane is inspiring, and alongside Brandon\u2019s quietly magnetic presence as her coach, creates a relationship that I hope will stay with you long after the film ends.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tAndrea Bucko of Sugar Rush Pictures, Jay Glazer of Neon Kite, Matthew Cooper, Anna Dragoo of OGM and Ford Corbett of Gramercy Park are producing alongside Gonz\u00e1lez, Sklenar via his newly launched production banner, Vista Lane Pictures, and Feliciano via her company Look at the Moon Pictures.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s an absolute thrill to work with a female director and star on a story that centers such a powerful and nuanced female perspective,\u201d said Bucko. \u201c\u2018Iron Jane\u2019 gives us the chance to explore ambition, body image, and identity through a lens that feels both timely and deeply human,\u201d said Bucko.<\/p>\n
\n\tHighland Film Group, Sugar Rush Pictures and Gramercy Park are co-financing, with Atlas Entertainment\u2019s Cassian Elwes (\u201cDallas Buyers Club,\u201d \u201cDead Man\u2019s Wire,\u201d \u201cThe Butler\u201d) serving as executive producer.
