Deadline reports that Winona Ryder has just committed to star with Michael Shannon and Chris Evans in The Iceman, the Ariel Vromen-directed drama based on the Anthony Bruno book about Richard Kuklinski, a family man who secretly carried out contract killings for the mob. Millennium Films/Nu Image is financing. Shannon is playing Kuklinski, aka The Iceman, and Evans is playing his mentor, Robert Pronge. Ryder, most recently seen in Black Swan and The Dilemma, will play Kuklinski’s wife, Deborah, who did not know that he was a contract killer. Gersh-repped Ryder just wrapped the indie The Stare opposite James Franco.

Production is supposed to start this month.

Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie is shaping up to be an interesting mix of “Ewwwww!’s” as well as “Awwwww’s.”

His latest stop-motion gothic-fest (rendered in 1950s-style black-and-white as well as 3-D) tells the story of a little boy named Victor, who loves his pet dog Sparky more than anything in the world. Naturally — or rather, unnaturally — Victor decides to use his science kit to bring the pup back from the grave after an accident claims the pooch’s life. (more…)

Just saw today that Stay Cool, the 2009 Polish brothers’ movie starring Winona, Mark Polish, Hilary Duff, Sean Astin, Josh Holloway, Marc Blucas… will hit theaters next September 16.

You can find a new poster up in the gallery:

Walt Disney Pictures have released the official title treatment/logo for Tim Burton‘s big screen adaptation of Frankenweenie.

FRANKENWEENIE
WALT DISNEY PICTURES
Genre: Comedy adventure
Rating: TBD
U.S. Release date: October 5, 2012
Voice Cast: Winona Ryder, Martin Short, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer
Director: Tim Burton
Producers: Tim Burton, Allison Abbate
Executive Producer: Don Hahn

From creative genius Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland,” The Nightmare Before Christmas”) comes “Frankenweenie,” a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life—with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor’s fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new “leash on life” can be monstrous.

A stop-motion animated film, “Frankenweenie” will be filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D, which will elevate the classic style to a whole new experience.

In Tim Burton’s “Frankenweenie” young Victor conducts a science experiment to bring his beloved dog Sparky back to life, only to face unintended, sometimes monstrous, consequences.

Things are really quiet at Winonaland this days. But thanks to ChrisB, I have now added to the gallery a new picture of Winona on “The Stare” set, with director Jay Anania.
The movie is currently on post-production and we don’t have any other information about it. I hope more pictures can surface soon.

Finally we have high quality screen captures of Winona’s part in Dracula. Enjoy it!

I totally forgot we just had MQ sized screencaptures of this movie in our gallery, which is a shame since Winona looks so beautiful in it! I’m sorry for taking so long… I added 900+ HD screencaptures in the gallery.

I added screen captures and HQ movie stills of “When Love is not Enough: The Lois Wilson Story“, the movie Winona did to Hallmark last year and let her grab a SAG nomination.

I have this screen captures settled here for a while, but was waiting to find a better quality version to cap and upload. I didn’t had success on my journey, so decided to go with the regular screen captures anyway. Enjoy it!

Hey you! Still working to add high quality screencaptures of Winona movies, this time is one of my favorites, “Heathers”.

Finally Winona goes out after a long time. She attended last night the Loomstate’s celebration of Earth Day and talked a little about her movie with James Franco. Sadly, was able to find just one picture.

At Loomstate’s celebration of Earth Day last night at Good Units, Winona Ryder apologized to us for seeming flustered. “I’m a little disoriented, I just came from work and I’m overwhelmed,” she said. She had just started shooting Jay Anania’s The Stare opposite James Franco two days earlier, “and today I had a six-page scene,” she laughed. “It’s going really great, it’s a fantastic project, I’m really super, super excited about it. It’s such a good script, it’s obviously a great opportunity to work with a great actor like Franco, and the other cast” — including Josh Hamilton, Marin Ireland, and Katherine Waterston — “is fantastic.” The synopsis for the film, which casts Ryder as a playwright who begins to mentally unravel before premiere night, initially recalls Black Swan (which Ryder also appeared in), and the actress didn’t dispute the comparison last night: “There’s a big twist that I can’t reveal, but it’s sort of almost that Black Swan thing where things are coming out in her play.” But does she get to go mano a mano with Franco (who co-stars as an actor in the play), the way Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis had a physical throwdown in Black Swan? “I can’t say,” Ryder admitted after much hesitation. “There’s one very, very … Ah, I can’t even say. But there’s something that happens, so it’s going to be great.”
