I'm in love with Ellen Page and I'm not afraid to admit it!

What? The talented Juno star is doing a horror movie? That strikes me as odd...Maybe its the curse of bad movie choices stemming from Oscar nomination headiness.

Ellen Page is really great! Amazing role in Hard Candy. I'll love too see her in a survivor horror movie.

Ellen Page is great in Juno. Its good to see Raimi back doing horror.

I haven't seen Juno, but from what I've heard Page was very good in it, hence the Oscar nomination. She was good in X3 too as Kitty. She's def becoming a rising star. The movie sounds good too, Raimi's first after coming off Spidey 3. This probably means he won't have a hand in making Spidey 4.

Sounds interesting. Ellen Page was stellar in Hard Candy and she's an overall great actress. Its also nice that Raimi's directing another horror film since Spider-Man.
