"Whip it!" Trailer
Thu, July 16, 2009 Ahhh now this is more like it, after a bloated summer of average blockbusters that never lived up to the promise set up by Star Trek, we come to the time of year where the trailers start to arrive for the indie flicks and fall/winter thrillers, the films that fill their run time with characters, story and dialogue b/c they can't afford to blow up Egypt for 30 minutes.
One such potential gem is Drew Barrymore's directorial debut "Whip it!" starring the mega talented Ellen Page. This trailer gives a pretty good outline of the basic premise and the humour that will be on offer, to me this looks like it will be a funny and warm hearted movie filled with entertaining characters.
For Page it flips her most famous role Juno on it's head, here she is portraying an outcast "Same as Juno" you may yell, but Juno was an outcast by choice, she was comfotable with who she was and excelled at being an outcast. Here Page is playing a character low on confidence, minus the acidic wit and simply looking to find a way to be comfortable with herself.
"Whip It!" opens on October 9th and you can check out the trailer below.

Agreed. Anyone who thinks these are the same characters needs a writing class. Of course they'll be some blending because it's the same actress but they are tonally night and day.
That trailer has me interested. Page seems great as always. Looks to have good humor.
