Replacing Ellen Page in Raimi's next

Lohman Gets Dragged To Hell
Alison Lohman has replaced Ellen Page in Sam Raimi's next film as director, Drag Me To Hell. We can't imagine a better substitute – they even look almost the same.

Page dropped out of the movie, which tells of a young woman who is unwittingly hit with a supernatural curse, citing scheduling differences. With Lohman in the role, the film can now get started shooting on March 31, only two weeks later than originally planned.
