The folks at USA Today just released the first photo from Drew Barrymore's upcoming directorial debut "Whip It!," a sports comedy based on the novel by Shauna Cross.

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.

Jimmy Fallon set for Barrymore’s ‘Whip It!’

Back in July we reported that Marcia Gay Harden, Juliette Lewis, Kristen Wiig and Zoe Bell all joined Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut “Whip It!,” and according to SlashFilm, Jimmy Fallon is the latest to board the project.

Based on the novel by Shauna Cross, 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.

Fallon is apparently replacing Justin Long in the role of “Hot Tub Johnny,” an eccentric announcer. Long quit the project after splitting with Barrymore in early July.

It would certainly not be the first time Fallon starred alongside Barrymore. The two played the lead characters in Bobby and Peter Farrelly’s 2005 comedy “Fever Pitch.”

Fallon most recently starred in “Factory Girl.” He is also gearing up for NBC’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” which will replace Conan O’Brien’s show.
