When Ellen 'Juno' Page sends Alison 'Beowulf' Lohman to Hell you better believe that we?ll be watching! This weekend, we reported Page was out of Sam Raimi?s Drag Me to Hell due to scheduling conflicts; and today, according to Variety.com, her role has already been replaced! Alison Lohman, whose most recent genre role was one of the stars/voices of Robert Zemeckis? CGI-epic/adaptation Beowulf will now star in Raimi?s first film since (the unfortunate) Spider-Man 3. Drag Me To Hell, a film that centers on an unsuspecting recipient of a supernatural curse, is co-written by Sam?s brother Ivan Raimi, and caught a production snag due to the casting swap, but is scheduled to begin shooting in Los Angeles on March 31st.
