Alison Lohman has been named as the replacement for Ellen Page in Sam Raimi's latest horror film Drag Me To Hell.

Page confirmed yesterday that she would no longer be appearing in the movie due to conflicting schedules.

The Juno star is too busy working on psychological thriller Peacock and Drew Barrymore's directorial debut Whip It! to take the part.

Lohman, who has starred in Beowulf, Matchstick Men and Big Fish, will start shooting on March 31.
