Ellen Page Attached To Lesbian Legal Drama Freeheld
Ellen Page is only 25, but she already has compiled an impressive resume of vastly different film projects, avoiding Hollywood’s desire to pigeonhole young talents along the way. In an ongoing effort to challenge herself by accepting inventive roles, Page has attached her name to the gay-rights drama Freeheld, which recently secured funding and appears ready to go before the cameras.
The narrative will take its cues from an Oscar-winning documentary short, according to Deadline. Page would play Stacie Andree, a lesbian who was denied the pension benefits of her partner, Laurel Hester, after Hester – a New Jersey police detective – became terminally ill. The story follows Andree’s fight for representation alongside Hester’s police partner, Dane Wells … a staunch conservative who was unaware of Hester’s sexual orientation.
