I like the way she talks about her movie. Basically she says she wanted a movie that talks about real life but that’s still entertaining. Well judging from the material released so far for Whip It I think she managed to reach her goal. And I’m quite impatient to see Ellen Page joining that crazy roller derby league. :)
Actress Ellen Page got the lead role in Whip It, an upcoming comedy drama movie directed by Drew Barrymore. Here below the first official movie poster of Whip It:

Those girls look like crazy. I guess the movie Whip It will be much more interesting and funny to watch than the usual tale of rebellion against rebellion against parental authority.
