Drew Barrymore’s ”Whip it!” Cast
Zoe Bell, Kristen Wiig, Juliette Lewis and Marcia Gay Harden join Ellen Page and Drew Barrymore in Barrymore’s directorial debut, comedy/drama ”Whip it!” for Mandate Pictures.
Marcia Gay Harden plays an overbearing ex-beauty queen who would rather see her daughter, Bliss (Ellen Page), in pageants than skates. Drew Barrymore will play Page’s teammate.
Kristen Wiig (”Saturday Night Live”, ”Knocked Up”) plays Bliss’ rowdy mentor, Malice in Wonderland.
Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut
Ellen Page will follow up her star-making turn in ’Juno’ by starring in ’Whip It!’ which marks Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut.
Natalie Portman’s doing it, Kirsten Dunst and Scarlett Johansson, also, so why wouldn’t Drew Barrymore want to direct her own film?
The film is called ’Whip It!’ and in the film Ellen Page will star as a high school addict dependent on the nitrous oxide canisters commonly referred to as whipits.
’I really admire how Drew constantly challenges herself as an artist’, Page said. ’She’s proven herself as an actress and a producer, and I have no doubt she’ll bring great vision and creativity to the director’s chair. I can’t wait to kick ass on wheels!’
The flick, pened by Shauna Cross, will begin shooting in the summer in Texas.
