Ellen Page's e-sports film "1Up" will start filming in November

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a film about e-sports called "1Up" is currently being filmed. Ellen Page plays the coach of an e-sports team in the film, and Paris Berke plays a young player who quits a co-ed e-sports team and forms a women's e-sports team. The film is directed by Kyle Newman, who has filmed "Star Wars Fandom," and the script is written by Julia Yorks, who has written children's TV scripts. The report said that "1Up" "is described as having the style of a "Pitch Perfect" movie, but is set in an e-sports environment against the backdrop of the European and American "Gamergate" incident."

In the film, e-sports player Vivian Lee quits her college team after being subjected to sexism by her male teammates. However, such behavior may affect her scholarship, so she is forced to form a new team under the guidance of a "mysterious coach" played by Ellen Page. This coach has also experienced similar "gamer gate" incidents and has stood up again this time.

"1Up" will start filming in Toronto in November this year. The specific game project in the film has not yet been announced. It may be a virtual shooting game designed based on "Overwatch"? We will know by then.
