Margot Robbie's Luckychap, Warner Bros. to Produce 'Barbed Wire Heart' Adaptation (Exclusive)
Luckychap and Rideback, the production companies run by Margot Robbie and Dan Lin, respectively, have teamed up to adapt Barbed Wire Heart, a gritty novel by Tess Sharpe, for Warner Bros. The studio has set Carly Wray, who has written episodes of Westworld and was a staff writer on Mad Men, to pen the script. Robbie is producing via her LuckyChap Productions along with the company's Tom Ackerly. Lin and Jonathan Eirich are producing via Rideback. Robbie is not expected to star.
The book, published in March through Grand Central Publishing, centers on Harley McKenna, the daughter of a hard-edged, drug-running, meth-dealing killer who’s been trained for the family business since she was 16. When a rival family, who is also responsible for her mother’s death, makes a bloody push into her poor rural community, McKenna has to find a way to stand up to both her violent father and her mother’s killers without jeopardizing the lives of the abuse survivors in the women’s shelter she runs.

Reading the synopsis I'm surprised Margot isn't taking the lead role.
