When I saw the words “psychological thriller,” I realized Ellen Page’s career just jumped the shark. Oh wait, or was it the Barbara Walters Special? Oh yes, it was hosting SNL…
“Ellen Page and Cillian Murphy are attached to star in Mandate Pictures’ psychological thriller “Peacock,” about a man with split personalities and the woman who holds a key to his past. The film is set in the small town of Peacock, Neb., where a man with a split personality (Murphy) fools the town into believing that his two alter-egos are man and wife. Page will play a struggling young mother who sparks a battle between the personalities.”
“First, she’ll be the highest profile guest on the 27th annual “Oscar Edition” of the Barbara Walters Special. And no, we’re not just saying that because we’re expected to plug the Can Con; in a guest list that includes Miley Cyrus, Harrison Ford and Vanessa Williams (huh?), Page gets the honour of being the “Oscar-themed” special’s token Academy Award nominee interview. As for the SNL gig, Page will have the honour of hosting the long-running sketch show’s post-strike debut, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The show returns March 1.”
