First photos of Ellen Page and Drew Barrymore in ‘Whip It’

The first photo from ‘Whip It’ has hit the web thanks to USA Today. The movie is a roller derby comedy but having watched many female roller derby matches there isn’t a whole Hell of a lot to laugh about. Those girls are usually pretty intense! We will see how this pans out but at least you get a good glimpse of Drew Barrymore and Juno Ellen Page above. Barrymore is also jumping behind the camera as director on the film, which marks her directorial debut.

What do you guys think? Can we find laughs behind the brutal reality that is female roller derby?
