Austin Movies Inc.: ‘Whip It!’
“Whip It!” — Austin native Shauna Cross joined a roller-derby team when she moved to Los Angeles after graduating from the University of Texas. She funneled her experiences into the young-adult novel “Derby Girl” which is the basis for her script, an Austin-set roller-derby dramedy. Drew Barrymore directs, and “Juno“‘s Ellen Page stars. Shooting is rumored to start this summer in Austin, but no solid deals have been inked yet.
