Drew Barrymore ‘New Movie Was Hard to Make’
Posted by Adam
Drew Barrymore admits it wasn’t easy making her new movie Whip It — because she didn’t want it to end up being “just another” chick flick.
Drew says she wanted the film — which also stars Juno star Ellen Page and marks Barrymore’s directorial debut — to appeal to both boys and girls.
‘Yeah, I didn’t want it to be just another chick flick,” Drew said. “I wanted it to stay true to girl empowerment. I wanted to make something that was also irreverent and relevant for boys.
“I wanted it to be emotional and yet romantic and also have action and have girls doing things you’d normally see boys do. That wasn’t easy.”
Whip It hit US movie theaters on October 2.
Barrymore, 34, recently revealed that she badly bruised her leg while filming Whip It.
“We were wrestling and rolling around on the track, one of our skates and both our body weights were on my thigh,” she said. “I had a bruise that was a foot long and a foot wide. My entire leg was covered.”
