We broke the news on Friday that Oscar-nominated star Ellen Page had quit Sam Raimi's latest horror project, Drag Me to Hell, which he would direct as his next feature. Today it was announced that Alison Lohman (pictured inside) will replace Page for Ghost House Pictures, Mandate Pictures and domestic distributor Universal. Producers were looking for another babyfaced star and found one in Lohman, best known for portraying a younger-than-her-years character in "White Oleander." She recently voiced a role in "Beowulf," appeared in "Things We Lost in the Fire" and will star in Lionsgate's "Game." Hell is a morality tale about the unwitting recipient of a supernatural curse.
