Drew Barrymore will make her directing debut next year with ? ?
S Whip It,? ? ? a film about the mad world of roller derby, according to Production Charts. The film is in pre-production, with no casting announcements made yet.

Shauna Cross is the screenwriter. Cross is a member of the Los Angeles Derby Dolls and recently published a teen-oriented novel called ? ?
S Derby Girls.? ? ? I’m not sure if ? ?
S Whip It? ? ? is officially a film adaptation of ? ?
S Derby Girls,? ? ? but the plot synopses sound quite similar.

Production Charts reports ? ?
S Whip It? ? ? is about ? ?
S a Midwestern, small-town, teenage girl (who) discovers the high-energy world of roller derby and must decide if she? ? !” s willing to go against her parents and friends in order to pursue the sport she loves.? ? ?

? ?
S Derby Girls? ? ? is about a similar girl living in Texas, whose mom wants her to be a beauty pageant queen. Roller derby provides the girl with a rebellious avenue of escape.

Even if ? ?
S Whip It? ? ? ends up being totally awful, something tells me it will make an excellent date flick.
