NEXT UP FOR THE WONDER TEEN OF 'JUNO'

SMART PEOPLE: Dennis Quaid, Sarah Jessica Parker, Thomas Haden Church, Ellen Page, Ashton Holmes (Directed by Noam Murro; Written by Mark Poirier; Miramax Films) Professor Lawrence Wetherhold, the narcissistic, thickly bearded widower played by Dennis Quaid, yearns for a life without emotional entanglements. Serenity proves elusive, however, thanks to disturbing intrusions by Vanessa (Ellen Page), his brainy, relentlessly Republican daughter, and to James (Ashton Holmes), his troubled, poetic son, as well as Chuck (Thomas Haden Church), the staggeringly unpredictable adopted brother who, totally uninvited, has come home to cuddle with the family. Nor do things calm down when the accident-prone professor lands in the hospital, only to be treated by a former student (Sarah Jessica Parker) who’s turned out to be the doctor he'd most like to have sex in the city with. Now Playing

PEACOCK: Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page (Directed by Michael Lander; Written by Michael Lander and Ryan Roy; Mandate Pictures) Peacock is a pippy-poo town in Nebraska, and Cillian Murphy plays a pippy-poo Peacockian who takes himself a pippy-poo Peacockian bride. But even though the gullible townfolk treat the couple with respect, the twosome does not seem destined to live happily ever after. That’s because the man and his mate are seriously starcrossed, the split sides of a psycho/sinister personality. There is one perky Peacockian, however, who finds it odd that she never sees the blushing bride and groom together. And that’s the young and awesomely alert single mom played by “Juno’s” Ellen Page. In the best of all possible Peacockian worlds, she will surely persuade hubby to put his wife up for adoption. Opening date to be announced

WHIP IT!: Ellen Page (Directed by Drew Barrymore; Written by Shauna Cross; Mandate Pictures) Who could have imagined that the precious little angel in “E.T.” would morph into a sexy, down-to-earth babe in “Charlie’s Angels” and “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle”? And who would have thought the same little angel would one day take flight and set down not in front of the camera but behind it? That is precisely what Drew Barrymore, sole famous survivor of a bigger-than-life theatrical clan, is about to do. In “Whip It!,” Drew’s directorial debut, Ellen Page, the “Juno” wonder, will play Bliss, a tenacious Texan teen determined to race her way to roller derby glory. The screenplay is by Shauna Cross, a.k.a. to skater buffs as Maggie Mayhem. Here’s what Page told Variety’s Tatiana Siegel: "I really admire how Drew constantly challenges herself as an artist. She's proven herself as an actress and a producer, and I have no doubt she'll bring great vision and creativity to the director's chair. I can't wait to kick ass on wheels!"
