Georgia’s film industry is booming. Just ask Suicide Squad’s Margot Robbie.
According to the Come Tour Georgia, Margot Robbie’s new movie I, Tonya is going to film in the Peach State.  Margot Robbie will play the highly controversial and extremely talented Tonya Harding.
During the 1994 Olympics, Tonya Harding was pitted against the more popular Nancy Kerrigan at the 1994 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, where Kerrigan was attacked by a man who struck her a few inches above her knee.
While both Kerrigan and Harding made the Olympic team that headed to the Lillehamer Olympics the attack was linked back to Harding’s ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, and her bodyguard, Shawn Eckhardt.
Tonya Harding struck a plea agreement, admitting to conspiring to hinder prosecution, and was banned from U.S. Figure Skating and stripped of her 1994 U.S. Championship.
So grab your ice skates because this movie is going to be cool as ice.
But, Margot Robbie is not alone. Emma Roberts new movie, Spinning Man will also film in Georgia.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Emma Roberts will star alongside Greg Kinnear in the Spinning Man – a psychological thriller about a philosophy professor.
