We already revealed to you months ago about Landon Pigg, the indie musician cast as Ellen Page’s love interest in Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut, “Whip It!” due in the fall on October 9. But he’s putting out a new album out and USA Today has some updates on his character and role (and note, he’s going to be on the soundtrack as well, but note Mark Mothersbaugh has been fired from writing the score). Plus it’s a slow day.
He plays “a musician in the big city” who becomes romantically involved with the heroine, portrayed by Juno’s Ellen Page. “He represents one of many new challenges for her.” Others in the cast include Marcia Gay Harden, Juliette Lewis and Jimmy Fallon.
Fall in love with him now before he becomes big and your school girl crush evaporates. His new album, The Boy Who Never comes out August 25. He’s also on the “Imagine That” soundtrack (the Eddie Murphy kids movie).
