Canadian It-girl Ellen Page has landed a starring role in Sam Raimi’s upcoming horror movie “Drag Me To Hell.”

Page, who could win a Best Actress Oscar this month for her performance in “Juno,” will play a woman who falls victim to a curse.

Raimi co-wrote the screenplay with his brother Ivan and will also direct.

The movie marks Raimi’s return to horror after helming the successful “Spider-Man” series. Raimi launched his film career in the ’80s with the Evil Dead films, which have since become cult classics.

Shooting for “Hell” will begin next month in Los Angeles.

Afterwards, Page will start preparing for her role in “Whip It,” Drew Barrymore’s directing debut about a small-town Texas girl who joins a roller derby league.

“Juno” has grossed a whopping $117 million so far.
