You couldn't accuse Ellen Page of putting her feet up after the success of Juno - she is signed up for her third acting job in a month.

It was recently announced that the Oscar-nominated actress had signed up for Drew Barrymore's directorial debut Whip It and Sam Raimi's horror film Drag Me To Hell.

She will also star alongside Cillian Murphy in thriller Peacock. The film, which is set in a small Nebraska town, tells the tale of a schizophrenic serial killer (Murphy) who fools the town into thinking his split personalities are man and wife. (Psycho meets Tootsie anyone?)

It's not the first time Murphy has been seen cross dressing, he played a transvestite singer in 2005s Breakfast on Pluto.

Page will play a young mother who holds the key to Murphy's past. .

It's not Page's first psychological thriller. She came to critics attention in 2005s Hard Candy, where she played a 14 year old girl who attempts to snare a suspected pedophile.

The production begins filming in May, and will be directed by Michael Lander.
