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.
She was in ET!
She was in ET!
Richard Dreyfuss!
He was in “Jaws”! Damn you people!
