Film School Rejects had this story four days ago, and now Variety has the official announcement: Ellen Page will star in Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut, “Whip It!”

The screenplay was written by Shauna Cross, based on the semi-autobiographical YA novel Derby Girl, about roller derby girls in Austin, TX. (The aforementioned Film School Reject article is an interview with Cross.)

This makes me mad.

I have the utmost respect for Ellen Page’s talent. I have little respect for Drew Barrymore’s. This feels like a bad match.
