Jimmy Fallon Cast in Drew Barrymore’s Whip It!

I haven’t seen this officially reported anywhere, so I thought I’d pass along word that Jimmy Fallon has been cast in Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut Whip It! Fallon has been spotted by /Film sources on set of the roller derby dramedy playing “Hot Tub Johnny”, a cheesy hungover announcer who makes nasty comments to all the skaters.My sources have also spotted Andrew Wilson, brother of of Owen and Luke (fans of Wes Anderson know as “Future Man” in Bottle Rocket), who is playing a roller derby coach. The film stars Ellen Page as “an indie-rock loving misfit” who finds a way of dealing with her small-town misery after she discovers a roller derby league in nearby Austin Texas. Whip It! is currently in production.

  • I'd like to have this movie called "TROLL IT" where Jimmy Fallon leaves mean-spirited messages on message boards online and its up to Ellen Page to find him and silence him before he drives others to suicide....

    Isnt Fallon taking over for Conan soon? It seems he would be doing a cash-grab for movie roles since he won't have time to do them anymore...and wouldnt it just be hilarious if all these movies he gets in the can all become successful and that he would have a new movie career and then he couldnt do it because of Late Night...hohoho....

    ...oh want a minute, I'm talking Jimmy FALLON...

    never mind

    Some inside information on this movie:

    Eve is playing one of the roller girls in this film and they recently sent out a call amongst all the leagues in the south looking for a derby girl of a similar build to Eve and Atlanta's own Sk8 Outta Compton was chosen to play her Derby Double. Check Compton out here:

    1) Forcibly quirky story based on screenwriter's adaptation of her own novel
    2) is directing-debut of former A-list star with her own dubious production track record
    3) featuring actress struggling to maintain her own indie cred in light of recent Oscar-nomination.

    I must have become more cynical these days because I can see the Tropic-Thunder behind this film already.

    My Mom & I were in Frankenmuth today for her 80th birthday for lunch at Zenders. There was lots of buzz about Drew Barrymore in the vicinity. My mother & I had so much fun searching faces for this extraordinary young actress. My sister-in-law, "Frankenmuth resident," told me that the restaurant mascot got a face lift. We also heard a rumor that Drew much preferred a smiling pig as the restaurant's billboard to it's frowning predecessor.

    Drew, smiling pig or not, thanks for being so kind to the masses at Tiffany's Restaurant.
  • The crew was back in Ypsilant last week (Sept. 11) Doing some late evening filming downtown. It looked like somewhere around and/or in the Elbow Room bar.
