I will have the scan up from Spin soon as I just got my magazine yesterday, it was a very pleasant surprise to see her in it!

Name a song you’ve listened to in the past 24 hours.
Probably something from Peaches’ Impeach My Bush, because her CD is in my car. “Tent in Your Pants” keeps me upbeat and engaged while I’m driving.

If you were to play someone in a rock biopic, who would it be?
Patti Smith. When I first heard Horses, it was like listening to all of my favorite “now” bands in one album. But she’s so amazing that there’s no way I could ever do it. I’d be puking every day. Plus, I don’t look anything like her. She’s got this gorgeous, heroin-chic thing going on, and I have a moon face.

Ron Nyswaner will adapt Cynthia Wade’s 2007 Oscar-winning short doc “Freeheld” into a feature film starring Ellen Page. James D. Stern’s Endgame Entertainment is financing.

Stern will produce with Double Feature Films’ Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher and Vie Entertainment’s Kelly Bush and Cynthia Wade. Endgame’s Doug Hansen and Adam Del Deo are exec producers.

Wade’s “Freeheld” tells the true story of New Jersey car mechanic Stacie Andree and her domestic partner Laurel Hester, a police detective who tries to secure pension benefits for her partner after she’s diagnosed with a terminal illness, only to be turned down by Republican legislators.

MTV: This film has been shrouded in mystery for so long. Are you looking forward to everyone finally seeing it for themselves so you don’t have to be so vague about everything?

Ellen Page: I can just e-mail you the script if you want …

MTV: Awesome! Do you have a pen to take it down?

Page: Yeah, I’ll do that after the interview. No, I’m excited, but I haven’t even seen it yet. I’m really excited. I hope that doesn’t sound rude, because, like, I’m in it. Visually, this film is going to be unbelievable. But on top of that, it was just such a strong script that Chris wrote. So original. Although the concept is elaborate and complex, it’s based in so much truth and so much sincerity. The actual emotional spine of the story is so touching. I think it’s going to be a very special movie. I wish people would spend less energy trying to find out what it’s about, because an experience is always way more exciting having no idea. It must have been awesome going to movies 20 years ago and having such a limited idea of what it’s about and either loving or hating it.

I actually had a general meeting with Chris, because I’m a huge fan of his films. I didn’t know about Inception when I met him. I really liked him — such a down-to-earth guy, no ego at all, just a pleasant, enjoyable guy to talk to. I left the meeting just thinking Chris is this really rad guy. And then, maybe a week later, the idea of Inception came up and that he was thinking about me for it. Then I got to read the script in an office. I wasn’t sent a copy. The script totally blew me away. I was totally into playing the character, and he decided I was right for the part.

I’m definitely involved with the action, which was so enjoyable. You feel like you’re a little kid. There were times, especially at the beginning, where I felt incredibly out of place and slightly confused as to how I got cast. It was such a boys club. It was the most action I’ve ever been involved in. Chris is doing things we’ve never seen before.

I would, in a millisecond, work with Chris again. I found that an incredibly fulfilling experience. Despite the massiveness of this production, when you’re working with Chris, it’s an intimate experience. He’s a filmmaker because he loves film and he loves making films. And there’s no ego attached to what he does. When you feel that sincerity and passion, it’s an amazing atmosphere. Despite how visually incredible and massive this film is—similar to Batman Begins and The Dark Knight—there’s so much honesty that makes them better than those broad summer movies that come out.
