Whatever disagreement it was that sent Ellen Page and Juliette Lewis into a food-fueled cat fight in yesterday's "Whip It" clip, they clearly resolve it by the time the scene in the clip below arrives. Check out Lewis, director/star Drew Barrymore and the rest of the team get psyched up as they prepare for their first roller derby match with their newest addition: Page. "Whip It," an adaptation of Shauna Cross's novel "Derby Girl," hits theaters on October 2.

"Whip It" may feature a mostly female cast, but it is does not fall into the traditional definition of a "chick flick." For her directorial debut, star Drew Barrymore snatched up a script from "Derby Girl" author and professional roller derby athlete Shauna Cross. The story follows a former beauty queen (Ellen Page) who, in an act of rebellion, leaves her properly coiffed world behind for the rough and tumble action of a professional roller derby league.

In the clip below, Page's Bliss Cavendar, still a newcomer, is goaded by teammate Dinah Might (Juliette Lewis) with harsh words and flung food. The situation escalates and messy shenanigans ensue. Enjoy the rumble.
