Ellen Page can go to "Hell"




Okay, this is as excited as I've gotten about horror movie news in a long time: Ellen Page has been booked to star in Sam Raimi's next project, a horror film called Drag Me to Hell. The best part is that, unlike many projects that people get "attached" to and then forget about, this one actually starts filming next month.

The other good parts are that Ellen Page is ... well, awesome (check out Hard Candy, Juno, and even X3: X-Men Retarded for proof). And let's just pretend not to get excited that Raimi is coming back to horror after hitting the point of diminishing returns on Spiderman (let's be honest, that third one sucked harder than a Lincoln Tunnel ride-along) and delivering some legitimately scary moments with Doc Oc in the franchise's second film (that hospital scene was really effed up, remember?).

His next film, The Lovely Bones, is all weepy and Oscar-baity, so it'll be nice to see him get all supernatural horror again. Drag Me to Hell is about an unsuspecting person who falls prey to a supernatural curse. And it's got "Drag" in the title! Totes gay.
