Ellen Page seems to be enjoying flitting between the mainstream and the indie film worlds, and it appears she fancies a dip in the former as she has joined the cast of The East for Fox Searchlight Pictures and writer-director Zal Batmanglij.
The movie centres on a contracting firm (everyone loves films about contracting firms, don't they?) which tries to protect massive corporations from a mysterious anarchist group known only as The East. Alexander Skarsgard is set to star as The East's leader, while Brit Marling (who also co=wrote the movie) plays an undercover agent who falls for Skarsgard's character. Ellen Page plays Izzy, a member of The East and Alexander Skarsgard's former lover.
The East is set to begin production this October in Nashville. (Source: Variety)
