WHIP IT Images and its Catchy Derby Names | Rama's Screen
Thursday, July 9, 2009 at 1:12PM You’re going to have to get used to saying director Drew Barrymore now because she wore that hat proudly with her directorial debut film WHIP IT and USA TODAY has released some new official images from the movie about girls on roller skates starring Ellen Page, Kristen Wiig, Juliette Lewis, Jimmy Fallon, and Barrymore herself.
The plot centers on Page as a petite teenage girl who rebels against her beauty-pageant-obsessed mother (Marcia Gay Harden) and boring Texas town by joining the rough-and-tumble world of roller derby under the name Babe Ruthless, which brings us to the coolest thing about this movie, the Derby names.
Barrymore plays a character named Smashley Simpson and Wiig plays her sister named Maggie Mayhem. She was going to be called Malice In Wonderland but I’m glad they didn’t go with that one. Their team, the good guys, is called The Hurl Scouts.
