Ellenpage_l Ellen Page and Sam Raimi (Spider-Man) are collaborators no more. The Juno star has backed out of Raimi's upcoming horror movie Drag Me to Hell because of scheduling conflicts. A new star has not been named. "We were racing to start production so that we could accommodate Ellen's schedule," says a joint statement from the two production companies behind the film, Ghost House Pictures and Mandate Pictures. "But like so many other productions trying to start before the potential [Screen Actors Guild] strike date, this one needed more time and we had to push back the start of production." It is not clear if the movie will move forward before the potential strike in June if a new star can be cast.

Strepsi...I hate to be the one to break it to you, but it's a bit late for Raimi to direct "The Ruins"...


The film adaptation comes out in April, and it looks pretty good (although it would've been great to see Raimi take on another Scott Smith novel after "A Simple Plan")

Sam Raimi has GOT to direct "The Ruins"!!! He did such a great job of "A Simple Plan" and The Ruins even has 2 scenes straight out of "Evil Dead 2"...

Ellen Page can do no wrong.

Well, thats one less time she'll be shoved down our throats.

Good move. The horror movies Ghost House makes are awful.

You go Ellen. Are you single now? I saw your profile on (W ealthyR omance.com) last week.

This saddens me greatly.

OK, that's a shame...but please, please tell me she's still doing the Rollerderby movie w/Drew Barrymore???

Good move Ellen, you're on such a role lately, you don't want to fall into that rat trap known as the horror genre. It does nothing but kill careers.
