"Whip It!" comes early

Just when you thought there was nothing left for us to say about Whip It — SURPRISE! — we've got an entire multimedia experience dedicated to Whip It! There are premiere photos and movie clips. But first, how about some news? Fox Searchlight just announced that they're holding a nationwide sneak preview of Whip It this Saturday, and if you're lucky enough to snag a ticket, you'll also get a free T-shirt. (Check your local listings for show times.)

OK, on to photos!

Whip It debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival last weekend to excellent reviews from critics and plenty of canoodling from Ellen Page and Drew Barrymore.

Here, we've got your basic hand-holding:

    it lives up to the hype

    saw this film this past weekend at tiff. it was excellent. i haven't left a theatre feeling that pumped and overjoyed in quite some time. it lacks in lezzie content, but after seeing it, that so much didn't matter to me. it was very well executed and i comment drew, ellen and the rest of the cast and crew. it's hard to watch this film and not want to somehow get involved in roller derby. must see!

    I saw it at TIFF. You guys

    I saw it at TIFF. You guys are in for a real treat!! The movie was great!! Drew did such an amazing job on the film. And Shauna's writing was great! I laughed so hard. The roller derby scenes are well shot. I felt as though I was watching a real game and got really into. Ellen was flawless :D

    It's a film for us ladies!! Women kicking ass!!

    I can't really say a bad thing about it, I loved it that much.

     

    you stay. i'll stay. we'll be alone.

    Afterellen.com basically

    Afterellen.com basically became my number one traficked site after revealing to me the holy grail that was the drew-tops-ellen-and-they-proceed-to-make-out photoshoot pics. These developments are practically heart attack-inducing, I swear....

     Just sayin'.... Thaaaaank youuuuu!  =))) You're a credit to your community, lol.  

     

    Melissa Hsu's picture

    But why are they all over each other?

    Is this part of the movie promotion or something? 
    Jessica 's picture

    So the bad news is that all

    So the bad news is that all the available pre-screening slots in my area were already taken....but in a way I think that's more good news than bad.  Now to find out where all those local lezzies with great taste in movies/women are hiding....  Damn.  Lmao.

     

    And Idk, maybe I'm just delusional but they just seem to exude sincerity in all the pictures I've seen of them together thus far.  And you know what they appear to be sincerely trying to share?  THEIR LOVE....WITH EACH OTHER!  Hahaha

     

    ....no, really, I'm not giving up! *crosses fingers and prays*

    I wish...

    I wish that I was either Drew Barrymore or Ellen Page right now. Or even better, in the middle of their hug fest!!!! Auch! I'm so jealous!! I totally can't wait to see the film!!

    i would love to be in the middle of their hugfest

    Awesomee

    Oh my GOD. It looks freaking amazing. I'm going to see it with a couple friends if it comes to town. Intense foodfight scene, hahaha. xD I hope them being all over eachother is not just a movie promotion, because 1. that means they're like, thee hottest couple known to (wo)man kind, anndd 2. that means Ellen Page likes girls. xD
    Melissa Hsu's picture

    weird o_O

    Drew Barrymore had a lesbian affair with Jane Pratt who was 12 years older than her. It also turns out that Ellen Page is exactly 12 years younger than her. hmm
    imaginarygirl's picture

    Hooha.

    Ellen Page looks uh-mazing. And I really like her lipstick color!! Totally righteous.

    Melissa Hsu's picture

    Don't we all?

    Yes, a loving "friendship" like that of Yulia Volkova and Lena Katina. :D

    JLWY's picture

    Hmm... =)

    Referring to one of the comments above...if the lesbian subtext isn't part of the movie, why are they displaying it in real life? And before I forget...Drew has a boyfriend.

    But let's hope it's what it is like all other readers do =D

    (Plus yup, if it's true that would mean Ellen likes girls. Thumbs up for that.)

    As I commented on the facebook link.

    A local alternative cinema in my city actually screened DEBS back in the day.

    A film with limited release like that getting over here makes me hopeful that Whip It could make it over in the same way.

    And i'm in the Midlands.
