Whip It Trailer Online!
We showed you several photos few days ago for “Whip It!“, but now here’s the full trailer for comedy drama, Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut.
The film stars Ellen Page (Juno) as Bliss, a rebellious Texas teen who throws in her small town beauty pageant crown for the rowdy world of roller derby. Marcia Gay Harden plays Bliss’ disapproving mother, while Kristen Wiig and Juliette Lewis play roller-derby stars. Eve, Jimmy Fallon, Daniel Stern and Barrymore co-star.

First Photos of Ellen Page and Drew Barrymore in “Whip It!”
USA Today has published the first set of photos from “Whip It!“, Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut.
The film stars Ellen Page (Juno, Smart People), Marcia Gay Harden (Into the Wild), Jimmy Fallon, Kristen Wiig, Juliette Lewis, Zoe Bell, Daniel Stern and Drew Barrymore.
Page play 17-year-old Bliss Cavendar, who is tired of competing in beauty pageants at the insistence of her mother (Marcia Gay Harden). She rebels by joining the Hurl Scouts, a women’s roller derby team in Austin, Texas, and finds her true calling — or, at least, a good place to unleash some pent-up aggression. Smashley Simpson (Barrymore) skates with the Scouts, as does Saturday Night Live’s Wiig and the great Zoe Bell. Juliette Lewis is described as the villain of the piece, an opposing player determined to defeat Page and the Scouts, and the players all have cool nicknames: Smashley Simpson, Maggie Mayhem, Bloody Holly, and so forth.
Whip It! | Drew Barrymore
Barrymore said the tale partly reflects her own, as she was a famous child star that struggled with the transition to adulthood.
“I felt pressures that everybody feels, whether it’s inter-office, in high school or a small town. Everyone relates to expectations others have or what the world thinks. Who am I going to become? What am I going to be in this world?”
Third “Twilight” Film Gets Release Date, New Director
Entertainment Weekly is reporting the rumor that Drew Barrymore is in the the line-up of potential directors for the third installment of Stephenie Meyers‘ teen-blood-lust-romance series, Eclipse. The actress recently wrapped production on her directorial debut, “Whip It“, (starring Ellen Page) which is slated to open later this year.
Catherine Hardwicke turned down the second film from the massively successful Stephenie Meyer franchise because she didn’t have enough time or money.
Earlier, it has been reported that since “Eclipse” release date is too close to “The Twilight Saga’s New Moon” and the two movies won’t be shot back-to-back, director Chris Weitz won’t have enough time to direct the two films as he will be in post-production on the first “Twilight” sequel when “Eclipse” starts the lensing. Hence, the third “Twilight” film should look for another director to do the job. But, so far, no one has been attached to the directing part.
Based on the third book in Stephenie Meyer’s vampire drama saga, “Eclipse” will tell the time when Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. Amidst the danger, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob, with the knowledge that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf.
“The Twilight Saga’s New Moon” will be released on November 20th, 2009 and “The Twilight Saga’s Eclipse” will follow only seven months later on June 30th, 2010.
