Ellen Page, who has been everywhere promoting Juno, will star in Whip It!, which marks Drew Barrymore's directing debut, Daily Variety reported on Wednesday.
Page will play a Texas teen who is always being pushed into entering beauty pageants. But she winds up finding herself after joining a roller derby team, the trade paper said.
"I can't wait to kick ass on wheels!" the Canadian actress was quoted as saying in a statement.
The $10 million film, set up at independent financier Mandate Pictures, is slated to begin shooting in the summer. Page is likely to schedule another project beforehand, Daily Variety said.
