Ellen is out for revenge.

After shattering the record for most Golden Globes won by a movie, it seemed like the buzz surrounding La La Land couldn't be stronger. Everyone couldn't stop talking Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone -- their chemistry, singing and dancing were out of this world. There was no one else who could've played these roles that well, right?

Well, Ellen DeGeneres is here to prove you wrong.

The talkshow host debuted a “behind-the-scenes trailer” of the movie never seen by the public. While the trailer starts out with the producers giving commentary on their casting criteria, it then shows DeGeneres playing Stone's character and Gosling's love interest.

While DeGeneres did not show off her singing and dancing skills, she still got all dolled up in a sparkly dress and a red wig. Emma Stone may have won the Globe for her performance but it is very clear that this movie would have been way more interesting with DeGeneres as the leading lady.
