Juno star drops out of Rami horror movie

Actress Ellen Page has pulled out of Sam Raimi's new horror movie 'Drag Me To Hell'.
The 'Juno' star had agreed to play the lead role in the film, however scheduling conflicts have now forced her to withdraw.
Shooting was due to get underway on March 17 in a bid to wrap before the possible Screen Actors Guild strike on June 30, but was then delayed.
However, the new date clashed with Page's forthcoming roles in psychological thriller 'Peacock' and Drew Barrymore's directorial debut 'Whip It!'
A statement from producers Ghost House Pictures and financier Mandate Pictures, read: "We were racing to start production so that we could accommodate Ellen's schedule.
"But like so many other productions trying to start before the potential SAG strike date, this one needed more time and we had to push back the start of production."
