Peacock is a psychological thriller that evolves around Cillian Murphy’s character who has a split personality. Page plays a struggling young mother who holds the key to his past and sparks a battle between the personalities.
“This is one of the boldest screenplays I’ve come across in my albeit short career,” Page said of Peacock. “It’s a character and story I can throw myself into and exactly the type of movie I love to be a part of.”

Young Hollywood’s most in-demand actress Ellen Page takes the May 2008 cover of Teen Vogue. Here’s what she had to say on how life is now and what to expect of her career:
On life being surreal: “The Barbara Walters interview, the Academy luncheon, meeting Sissy Spacek— there have been all these moments that it’s really hard to wrap my head around. To be recognized with these women that I have so much respect for, it feels wrong, in a way. I’m insanely grateful, but its just like, ‘Really? Are you sure?’”
On staying grounded: “I absolutely adore acting. But I also know that this is a fragile industry, and I don’t want to attach my happiness to it. I still think about going to school, to study psychology or art history. I couldn’t do it now, of course. I think it’s a matter of the grass is always greener… (pauses) Not that I don’t think that the grass I’m on right now is completely green. It is.”
On focusing on the more tangible side effects of her success: “From this point on,” she says, “it’s just about looking at all these new opportunities. It’s cool to be able to try a whole bunch of things.”
On what to expect of her post-Juno career: “People expect me to do some kind of gritty look-at-me-I’m-such-an-actor thing, but that would have felt contrived.”
Starting this month, two films that Ellen, 21, shot before Juno are coming out: Smart People, in which she stars opposite Dennis Quaid and Sarah Jessica Parker as an “arrogant, b***** Young Republican,” and the drama The Tracey Fragments.

Juno star Ellen Page made fun of the recent speculation that she’s a lesbian during her closing skit on yesterday’s Saturday Night Live.
The 21-year-old actress played a character that “so went gay” at a Melissa Etheridge/Indigo Girls concert.
“I just felt like i was an oil lamp that’s never been lit,” Page said excitedly. “And now I’m finally burning bright with sister fire! There were so many cute short haircuts and I didn’t care that I didn’t have any make up on. I felt so free.”
Andy Samberg played her psuedo-boyfriend, who told Page, “You are like a primo lesbian now.”
Rolling on the floor and holding her legs up, Page’s character shot back, screaming, “Gay, no way! …Why does everything have to have a freaking label?? Why can’t I just hug a woman with my LEGS in friendship???”
Watch the video below of Ellen Page’s lesbian skit for SNL…
