Ellen Page is clearly throwing her hat into the ring for the title of Hardest Working Woman in Hollywood, as she’s grabbed yet another role.
She’ll star alongside Cillian Murphy – no slouch in the hard working category himself – in the psychological thriller Peacock. Murphy will star as a man with a split personality, who cons the small town of Peacock, Nebraska into thinking that his two halves are a married couple. Page is a young mother who knows something about his past and sends his two sides into conflict.
"Peacock stunned me as a script from start to finish," Murphy told Variety. "It offers an incredible challenge to an actor -- one I couldn't turn down." Michael Lander is directing and will kick off filming in May.
