Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page get sexy in a new ‘Whip It’ pictorial
The girls from ‘Whip It’ get physical
The gals from Whip It strapped on their roller skates and posed for some rather risque shots in Vs magazine (check it out for more pics). Drew Barrymore, Ellen Page, Juliette Lewis and Zoe Bell recreate the action scenes from the forthcoming movie with photos taken from legendary photog Ellen Von Unwerth.
Barrymore makes her directorial debut on Whip It, which stars Page as Bliss Cavender, a discontent teen in a small town in Texas. Her character discovers roller derby as a way out of her depressed state and kicks arse along the way.
Barrymore admitted making Whip It was painful especially when she ended up with skating injuries while shooting the action scenes from the derby.
“What I love about the sport is that it’s real and high stakes. And by the way, it’s scary as sh*t to do,” she told Time Out New York. “I wouldn’t have guessed that the first film I directed would have a sports element, but then again it doesn’t surprise me, because I love girls getting to do what boys do.
“I love when [women] get to be women and not feel like they have to become a man in order to play in a man’s world.”
In one sexy shot, a scantily-clad 34-year-old Barrymore crashes on top of Page on the rink for a hot mess.
The photos come on the heels of an interesting picture of Drew Barrymore locking lips with Ellen Page for Marie Claire.
Whip It arrives in theaters on October 2nd.
