Ellen Page to pen comedy for HBO

Ellen Page has signed up to write and produce upcoming single-camera comedy Stitch N' Bitch.

The Juno star will work on the project for HBO with actors Alia Shawkat and Sean Tillmann, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The show follows two hipster girls as they move from Brooklyn's Williamsburg area to the Silver Lake neighbourhood of Los Angeles in the hope of making it as artists.

It has not yet been confirmed whether the trio will also star in the programme.
