Trailer for Drew Barrymore's 'Whip It!'

Drew Barrymore in Whip It! trailer

The first trailer for Drew Barrymore's directorial debut "Whip It!" has just debuted online, and you should check it out below if you're a fan of either roller skates or Ellen Page (or both, for that matter).

The film centers on Bliss Cavendar (played by Ellen Page), a Texas teenager who finds a way of dealing with her misery after she discovers a roller derby league in Austin.

Barrymore, Jimmy Fallon, Marcia Gay Harden, Juliette Lewis, Kristen Wiig and Zoe Bell co-star in the film, which is set for release Oct. 9, 2009.

Can't say the trailer blew me away, but I am curious to see how Barrymore handles the material. All in all though, I admit "Whip It!" doesn't look that terrible at this stage. If it's got a decent story, I'm more than willing to roll with it.
