Margot Robbie transforms into disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding in upcoming dark comedy I, Tonya. In the trailer, the actress smokes in a hallway and before making her way to the ice, stubs out her cigarette with her skate, perfectly setting the tone.
"The haters always say âTonya, tell the truth.â Thereâs no such thing as truth,â her voiceover can be heard. âI mean, itâs bulls--.â
The movie, which is based on a series of interviews conducted by screenwriter Steven Rogers, chronicles the skater's life and most notably Hardingâs attack on rival figure skater Nancy Kerrigan. Harding was accused of attempting to break Kerriganâs leg so she couldnât compete in the 1994 Winter Olympics. She was later stripped of her 1994 national title and banned from the figure skating world.
I, Tonya hits theaters on December 8.
