FilmCommentary Drew Barrymore Ellen Page Juliette Lewis Kristen Wiig Roller Derby
Sneak Peek: Drew Barrymore, Ellen Page, and Kristen Wiig in Whip It
11:01 am Thursday Jul 9, 2009 by Caroline Stanley

The first image from Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut Whip It — which stars Ellen Page — has surfaced and features both ladies (along with SNL’s Kristen Wiig) clad in rather tame roller derby gear. The script was authored by LA Derby Dolls founding member Shauna Cross, and is based on her book Derby Girl. Read the interview we did with her back in May here. We also recently chatted with Juliette Lewis, who plays the girls’ arch nemesis, here.

Fox Searchlight will release the film on October 9.
