Film star Ellen Page is adding a TV writer-producer credit to her resume.

Page has teamed with HBO for "Stitch N' Bitch," a single-camera comedy she will write with two other young actors, Alia Shawkat and Sean Tillmann.

The trio will executive produce the project, which follows two painfully cool hipster girls as they relocate from Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood to Los Angeles' Silver Lake enclave in hopes of becoming artists -- of any kind.

Page, Shawkat and Tillmann might also star, but a decision about them acting in "Stitch" will be made later.

The three worked together on the Drew Barrymore-directed "Whip It," which is in theaters. Page plays the lead and Shawkat co-stars. Tillmann has a small role.

Page, an Oscar nominee for her breakthrough role in "Juno," is filming "Inception" opposite Leonardo DiCaprio. She is repped by WME, manager Kelly Bush and attorney Kevin Yorn.

"Arrested Development" alumna Shawkat, repped by UTA and Kipperman Management, recently wrapped "The Runaways" and co-starred in "Amreeka."

Tillmann also is a musician who goes by stage names Har Mar Superstar and Sean Na Na
.

It's time to draw the line in the sand GAF. No surrender, no retreat.

Why does GAF hate Ellen Page?

She fucking hates Goldfrapp by the way.

I like Ellen Page actually.

GAF hates her because she gives off the vibe that they might actually have a chance.
 
This is the most bizarre thread I've ever posted in. I'm gonna go ahead and wait to see which side of the love/hate Ellen Page debate I should be on.

Suffice it to say that I found all of the fucking "music" in Juno to be more painful listening than hearing dozens of cats consumed by fire.

Not that she had anything to do with the music.

Or did she?

HBO is slipping. They are replacing manly shows like Sopranos, Deadwood, and Rome with crap like this and that stupid ass show with the detective. Time to cancel this shit.

Great, a Page comedy about hipsters. I assume the namedrops will be off the charts, moreso than usual for her.

I kind of like the detective show, but still, there's some good stuff coming on the horizon.

Maybe will watch for Maebe.
 
Eh. Ellen Page is cute, likes weird music.

Does anyone remember Clark and Michael? That show was kickass, before the Cera hate that starting reigning GAF.

She looked much better in Juno. She has a ton of makeup caked on her face for shoots now, which makes her look like a fish-eyed slut.

She suggested The Moldy Peaches music be put in Juno, if I remember right.

EDIT: You son of a bitch.

Page gets some hometown props for being one of the few from here to make something of themselves

Treme, Boardwalk Empire and (hopefully) Game of Thrones say hi!

True. I used to have a crush on her around Juno times. What happened to her :(

I kind of hated Clark and Michael. Mostly because of Clark though.

Didn't "Whip It" totally tank at the box office? That probably shot her cred at being able to lead a project. Fine with me, it pushes her that much closer to nudity.

I've never seen the fascination with seeing Page naked. She looks like any random English major in a class, the nerdy one who sits in a dark corner and reads fantasy novels. Skinny and lacks bust... it'd be like seeing Natalie Portman naked or something.

Yeah, they need to get back the manliness that was Sex and the City

She's attractive BECAUSE of that. She doesn't reek of that Hollywood "I'm so hot" persona.

I can see the point there, I guess. I just don't find her particularly beautiful.

I would hit it with no hesitation, btw. Just an observation.

Ruh-roh. Paging Fistful D:

I like Ellen Page. Haven't seen her lately but she was cute in all of the movies I've seen her in and doesn't seem like a vapid Hollywood whore like Lohan and co.

meh, I just feel that EVERY actress should do nudity when they are young (18-30, you sickos :p. I'm paying them, I want something in return! Plus by the time they do it to attempt to salvage their career, I no longer care (except for Marisa Tomei!!).

So it's gonna be exactly like Bored to Death but with girls 10 years younger than Jason Schwartzman.

I agree but lusting over seeing her naked? I don't see the appeal. Can't some girls just stay charming while clothed?

I liked Juno despite the writing and because of Ellen Page. She is a talented actress and a cutey to boot. What's the problem here?

The reason Juno sucked is because of the unbearable writing, not because of Page. This show could go either way, IMO.

What isn't bait for fistful?

I don't really care for Page. Generally she's in stuff I have no interest in seeing. So as long as she continues to be in stuff I have no interest in seeing, we don't have a problem.

Shots fired :lol

I thought Ellen page was really cute in X3, but kinda lost interest in her afterwards.

So by "painfully cool hipster comedy" it sounds like they're going to be making fun of actual hipster comedy, which is the only thing worse than actual hipster comedy. Like they're going for some sort of ironic irony? I mean what the fuck is that shit even.
