The final ladies of Drew Barrymore's Whip It are ready to roll. Joining Barrymore and the previously cast Ellen Page in the roller derby comedy will be Marcia Gay Harden, Kristen Wiig, Juliette Lewis and Zoe Bell, per the Reporter.

Harden will play Page's mom, a former beauty queen who's less-than-pleased to see her daughter in skates instead of tiaras, while Wiig, Lewis and Bell will all play roller skaters.

As a huge ladies' derby fan, this seems like a movie whose time has come - but will you be skating into theaters to see it? (With movie-skater handles like "Malice in Wonderland," can you really resist?) - Anna Dimond
