Eiza González and Brandon Sklenar Lead Iron Jane
The upcoming drama Iron Jane is already generating buzz ahead of the Cannes Marché du Film. Starring Eiza González and Brandon Sklenar, the film explores the demanding world of competitive female bodybuilding through a powerful story about ambition, identity, and the pursuit of perfection.
Highland Film Group is introducing the project to international buyers at Cannes while handling worldwide sales. U.S. rights are represented by CAA Media Finance and WME Independent.
Written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Lissette Feliciano, Iron Jane brings together an experienced creative team and a cast committed to delivering emotionally and physically demanding performances.
What Is Iron Jane About?
Iron Jane follows Janie John, portrayed by Eiza González, a woman whose childhood was shaped by neglect and invisibility. Searching for acceptance and purpose, she enters the competitive world of female bodybuilding, where discipline, pain, and transformation become her new reality.
Under the guidance of a former bodybuilding champion, played by Brandon Sklenar, Janie pushes her body and mind to extraordinary limits. As she rises through the ranks of the sport, her obsession with perfection begins to consume her, blurring the line between strength and self-destruction.
The film explores timely themes including:
- Body image
- Female empowerment
- Mental health
- Identity
- Obsession
- The emotional cost of chasing perfection
Rather than simply telling a sports story, Iron Jane offers a psychological drama centered on personal transformation and resilience.
Lissette Feliciano Returns with Another Powerful Story
Following the success of her debut feature Women is Losers, which premiered at SXSW and was later acquired by HBO Max, writer-director Lissette Feliciano returns with another female-driven story.
Feliciano describes Iron Jane as an exploration of discovering that true strength often comes through vulnerability rather than control. Her work continues to focus on deeply personal stories that examine identity, resilience, and the complexities of womanhood.
She is also attached to direct Sony Pictures’ upcoming Gloria and Emilio Estefan biopic On Your Feet!
The Team Behind Iron Jane
The film is produced by an accomplished group of filmmakers and production companies, including:
- Highland Film Group
- Sugar Rush Pictures
- Gramercy Park
- Vista Lane Pictures
- Look at the Moon Pictures
Executive producer Cassian Elwes joins the project alongside an experienced team of producers and financiers, positioning Iron Jane as one of the notable independent films currently in development.
