After two blockbuster films and two prior attempts at a TV comeback, the classic 70s action show Charlie’s Angels could soon be returning to television on ABC with Sarah Connor Chronicles creator Josh Friedman giving orders through the speaker box.  The remake would be updated to the modern day and geared towards a new audience while still paying homage to the original.  Hit the jump for more details along with a timeline of how many attempts have been made to bring Kelly Garrett, Jill Munroe, and Sabrina Duncan back to the small screen.

Opening today is Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut “Whip It” and it’s a coming of age story set against the world of roller derby that stars Ellen Page, Kristen Wiig, Drew Barrymore, Juliette Lewis, Jimmy Fallon, Landon Pigg, Eve, Andrew Wilson, Marcia Gay Harden, Daniel Stern and Alia Shawkat. So to help promote the film, at the Toronto Film Festival I had the chance to interview most of the cast and after the jump you can see Eve and Andrew Wilson talk about being at the Festival, working for Drew Barrymore, the sport of Roller Derby, and what they have coming up. Take a look:

In the sport of Roller Derby, sometimes you need to “throw a hit”, which is exactly what it sounds like.  In her directorial debut, Drew Barrymore fails to throw a hit but “Whip It” scrapes out a victory on the strength of its characters, its script, and its lovely and talented lead, Ellen Page.

The film’s a coming of age story set against the world of roller derby that stars Ellen Page, Kristen Wiig, Drew Barrymore, Juliette Lewis, Jimmy Fallon, Landon Pigg, Eve, Marcia Gay Harden, Daniel Stern and Alia Shawkat. So to help promote the film, I had the chance to interview most of the cast at the Toronto Film Festival and you can watch my interview with Juliette Lewis after the jump. In the film, Juliette plays Iron Maven, the leader of a rival roller derby squad.

Anyway, while some interviews just focus on the film at hand, the one you’re about to watch is a good one. That’s because for days leading up to this interview I had barely slept and Juliette and I spent the first few minutes talking about how that changes you. Of course we also talked about the movie and how she has a few other films coming up, so if you’re curious where Juliette’s been for the last few years, this interview will answer your questions.

She talks about being at the Toronto Film Festival and what it’s like for her, social networking, and while she couldn’t talk about the story of Christopher Nolan’s “Inception”, I did get her to tell me what it’s like working for the great director.

Look for more “Whip It” interviews this week:

Take Drew Barrymore: Mix in some of her feel-good friend fare, her experiences and appreciation of all things 80s, some of Hollywood’s most kick-ass girls, and rollerskates, and you’ll come up with “Whip It.” An ’80s film for a new millennium, “Whip It” is rough, fun, and hip-checkingly girly.

Opening on October 2^nd is Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut “Whip It”. The film stars Ellen Page, Kristen Wiig, Drew Barrymore, Juliette Lewis, Jimmy Fallon, and Alia Shawkat and it’s a coming of age story set against the world of roller derby. To help promote the film, I’ve been provided with 5 clips and you can watch them after the jump. Take a look:

Fox Searchlight has released the poster for Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut “Whip It”. The film premieres at next month’s Toronto Film Festival and it’ll be released everywhere on October 2^nd. I’ll be covering TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) so you can expect a lot of coverage next month on the site. Until then, take a look at the new poster and images after the jump:

I’m rooting for Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut “Whip It” for several reasons.  First, talented female directors are in short supply so I’m hoping Barrymore is about to join their ranks.  Second, I think it’s got a great cast and now that Ellen Page had her breakthrough with “Juno”, she needs to show the mainstream (many of whom, sadly, did not see “Hard Candy”) that she’s not just a one-hit wonder but that she’s a serious actress who’s here to stay.  Third, it shows that Daniel Stern is still alive, so that’s nice.  And finally, I’ve never seen a film which features female roller derby so that will be cool.

Hit the jump to check out the new trailer “Whip It” hits theatres on October 9th.

While the premise of “Going the Distance”, a romantic comedy about a long-distance relationship starring Justin Long and Drew Barrymore, doesn’t seem appealing to me in any way, I can no longer completely dismiss it as it has now cast “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star and co-creator Charlie Day and Christina Applegate aboard.  While I think Applegate is terrific (she really held her own against her four male co-stars in “Anchorman”), I’m really psyched about Day co-starring in the film.  He’ll play Long’s best friend while Applegate will play Barrymore’s sister.  No word yet if Day’s character will be addicted to huffing spray paint and doing impressions of Serpico.
