Headline: Ellen Page to Whip It!

14th January 2008 Posted by: tallguy2

Rumour floating round the net today is that Ellen Page will be signing up for the lead role in Drew Barrymore's directorial debut Whip It.

The flick is based on the book by Shauna Cross (who has also scripted) called Derby Girl that is described thus:
"Meet Bliss Cavendar, a blue haired, indie-rock loving misfit stuck in the tiny town of Bodeen, Texas.

Her pageant-addicted mother expects her to compete for the coveted Miss Blue Bonnet crown, but Bliss would rather feast on roaches than be subjected to such rhinestone tyranny.

Bliss' escape? Take up Roller Derby.

When she discovers a league in nearby Austin, Bliss embarks on an epic journey full of hilarious tattooed girls, delicious boys in bands, and a few not-so-awesome realities even the most bad-assed derby chick has to learn."

Filming is being planned for this March.
