Ellen Page is now Elliot Page.

Wasn't it like 2 years ago she made the big "I'm a lesbian!" announcement? Maybe in 2 more years she can reveal she is a secretly a terrier, when she needs attention again.

And lol... what does this mean for Umbrella Academy season 3? Do they have to roll with this creatively, or do they have to "force" her to be a her?

[CyberCubed]

Man I hope Naughty Dog doesn't take inspiration from this and make Ellie a transgender man if they make The Last of us Part 3 on PS5.

Ellie was modeled after Ellen Page after all.

I don't know if it was as recent as 2 years ago, but I think that's partly because a lot of viewers already assumed Page was a lesbian.

I don't care what Page does or who he (she) is (was), but I do wonder what it means for Umbrella Academy season 3, same as you. The show already made Vanya a lesbian because Page was a lesbian, which didn't really go against the comics (to my memory) but also seemed to smack of actress direction.

I'd hate for Vanya to become Victor in the show. Not only would it feel very forced (the equivalent of making Sulu a gay man because Takei is gay), but I think it would actually send a NEGATIVE message.

I mean, look how fvcked up Vanya is. If Vanya becomes Victor, it seems all too easy to point to her becoming him as a direct result of prolonged trauma and abuse. Not sure that's a helpful message for LGBTQ representation?

Dunno. I'd be very interested to hear a transgender fan's thoughts on the subject.

[Andrew NDB]

You just know it will be made into a "teachable moment" in the show (the rise of Victor).

[Roseangelo]

I feel like, as a professional actor, he should be able to act as a she for the screen. Whether or not this actually happens, who knows.

[Leo656]

You ever notice how often something like this happens with an actor who got into the business young and ended up receiving lots of unwanted attention from creeps at a young age? Like they don't always come out and say they're transgender but at a lot of them end up saying they're lesbians once they reach a certain age. Jodie Foster, Mara Wilson, Page, I'm sure there's several more...

I'm no psychologist but there's got to be some kind of a link there. Like it's a defense mechanism or something. I'm sure Dr. Drew could figure it out but he'd probably get yelled at for trying to explain it.

It won't. If for no other reason than they'd be afraid of getting flak from Twitter and pink haired people about how the producers are oppressing Page by forcing her to play a girl even though she's a man now.

Do you think this will end her/his career? I mean, will we ever see this new Elliot guy getting a major role in a big movie?

I doubt it. He will still get roles that would fit who he is. Elliot Page can get roles that don't define the characters being either He or She.

[Andrew NDB]

If I had to guess... a small, short spike in roles by indie filmmakers looking to both congratulate Page and be "bold and brave" in welcoming Page to new films (capitalizing on this) and such while this news remains relevant.

Beyond that, nada. Page won't be getting cast anymore as third stringers in Nolan movies or anything. Who knows... maybe Feige will find her some role in the new X-Men stuff. But I anticipate a lot of angry speeches to come about Hollywood.

[frank_one]

It is a bit disturbing to see how quickly her Wikipedia page was updated to reflect her new status.

[AquaParade]

Should have gone with "Elvis Page".

[Sumac]

Eh, so either she needs attention or she genuinely got drunk so much on SJW juice so it'd driven her insane.

Big loss, she was cute. I hope she won't completely mutilate herself into Frankenstein's monster with a fake dick.

What makes me depressed about this is that I bet there are a lot of young women and girls looking yup to her and they will go in her steps ruining their health and lives.

Oh, well. Any insanity, be it ideological or religious ends sooner or later. And next generations will just count bodies.

You know, you'd think that would happen. But it sure doesn't seem to actually work that way.

When's the last time a major worldwide religion took a head dive? Christianity (Protestant and Catholic), Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism, to name the ones I'm most familiar with, are all still alive and kicking hundreds to thousands of years later.

Aren't you technically not trans until you undergo an operation to become the opposite gender? I admit I'm no expert on these things, but declaring yourself trans means nothing until you literally have a penis attached to you.

It's going to make it really awkward for me to watch this movie again now

Or does this new news make this a sequel to this?


Man, it's going to be even more awkward to fap to the nude scenes from the game "beyond: two souls" scanned model now, I mean would that technically mean I'm gay now?

Ellen Page explored legal action against Sony after nude video-game images leaked online.
Ellen Page has never appeared nude in a film. She did, however, appear nude in a video game.
As a result Page explored legal action, emails from the Sony email breach show, according to the WikiLeaks archive of leaked Sony emails.

The game, "Beyond: Two Souls," and it's exclusive to the PlayStation 3. In one scene, Page's character takes a shower. Her character model is never shown fully nude, nor is it possible to manipulate the game's camera to see her naked character.

So the image of a naked Page exists in the game's code, but isn't accessible by players. But if "Beyond: Two Souls" is run on what is known as a "debug" PlayStation 3, which is typically available only to game developers and journalists and lets you see content buried in a game's code, players can see Page naked. Which is to say, yes, of course, images of a naked Ellen Page from "Beyond: Two Souls" are very much available online
According to the leaked emails, Page's legal team got in touch with Sony, and eventually Sony Computer Entertainment America, the PlayStation arm of Sony. By the time it got to SCEA, Page's attorney was talking legal action.

All except for Islam are set to decline for the future.

Or removed, as the case may be.

Sure, maybe. But over how long? Decades or centuries?
