Juno Star Skates Back Into the Spotlight.

Ellen Page and Drew Barrymore team up on movie about the roller derby.

Remember Ellen Page, the cute and subdued actress from Juno? Now she's 22 and in a new movie called "Whip It'. The new movie portrays a roller derby champion and is directed by first timer Drew Barrymore.

It's been a couple of years since the Oscar-nominated Juno and Page says she had to get away from the glamour to gain some outlook." I went to Oregon to study perma-culture and lived in an eco-village for a month outside Eugene. It was amazing and what I needed, because there had been the Juno thing, where you're getting a lot of attention".

The young actress was nominated in 2008 for her role as a pregnant teen in Juno. In her new role Page said she had to embrace her sexiness and get into shape. First time director Barrymore said she noticed a difference." She's really sexy. We pushed each other. We challenged each other."

The roller derby action packed film hits theatres Friday.
