Be your own hero. Fox Searchlight has debuted the poster for Whip It today on MTV, which is the roller derby movie starring Ellen Page, Drew Barrymore, Kristen Wiig, Zoe Bell, and Juliette Lewis. We already debuted the trailer for this a few weeks ago, so its nothing too new, but I've got to admit I love the design of this poster a lot. The colors are great to see since we rarely ever get lime green and maroon/purple on a poster, but that's why it's so awesome. Plus the little photos inside of the logo lettering (see above) is also pretty cool. I'm a connoisseur of well designed posters and this is definitely one of them. See it out below!

If you haven't seen the Whip It trailer yet, you can watch it online now. Stay tuned for more updates!

In Bodeen, Texas, the indie-rock loving Bliss Cavendar (Ellen Page) finds a way of dealing with her small-town misery after she discovers a roller derby league in Austin and tries to join as Babe Ruthless.

Whip It!, which is not about that Devo song, is the feature directing debut of actor Drew Barrymore. The screenplay was written by Shauna Cross, of only Taking 5 previously. Cross also wrote the book that this is based on and plays roller derby as well. Fox Searchlight is bringing Whip It! to theaters on October 2nd.
