Warner Bros. Clockwork and LuckyChap begin production on ‘Nasty’ with Jenna Ortega and Rose Byrne

The Warner Bros. film is filming this fall, pairing Ortega with Academy Award nominee Rose Byrne in a project produced by Mary Bronstein and based on a 2024 Black List screenplay.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

Warner Bros. Clockwork is set to begin production this fall on Nasty, a new film starring Jenna Ortega and Rose Byrne, according to Deadline. The project is produced by Mary Bronstein, and it will be developed through her team-up with Byrne, who previously collaborated with Bronstein on the Oscar-nominated film If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.

Deadline reports that Nasty is being produced for Warner Bros. Clockwork and LuckyChap. The casting pairs Ortega with Byrne, whose first Oscar acting nomination came for her performance in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, a film connected to Bronstein’s work and recognition.

In addition to the principal cast and production companies, Deadline describes Nasty as coming from a screenplay that appeared on the 2024 Black List. The article attributes the screenplay’s early industry recognition to writer Isabella, whose work was listed among the year’s most talked-about unproduced scripts.

The Deadline report does not specify a theatrical release date or distribution timeline. It does, however, place the production start in the fall, with cameras rolling during that season, indicating the project is entering its next phase after casting and early development.

Bronstein’s involvement links Nasty to her established creative partnership with Byrne. If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is cited in the report as the work that delivered Byrne her first Best Actress Oscar nomination, underscoring why the pairing is notable for film industry observers and for the studios financing the next project.

For Warner Bros., Clockwork represents another step in expanding its slate around high-profile performers and distinctive material, while LuckyChap adds to its film lineup through its production relationship with the project. The report frames Nasty as a project centered on recognizable on-screen talent and a screenplay that already drew attention in a major industry script forum.

While specific plot details are not laid out in the Deadline summary, the combination of a previously recognized Black List script, a fall production window, and a cast built around Ortega and Byrne suggests the film’s development has reached the level required to move into principal photography. Additional casting, the final production team, and release scheduling were not described in the report.

Why It Matters

  • The fall production start places Nasty on a near-term track for completion, post-production, and eventual release planning.
  • The project brings together two widely followed performers, Ortega and Oscar-nominated Byrne, which can affect studio budgeting, marketing planning, and distribution decisions.
  • The screenplay’s prior Black List recognition indicates that the film’s material drew early industry attention before entering production.
