Variety reports that Winona Ryder and Barry Pepper are going to star in the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie “When Love Is Not Enough: The Lois Wilson Story”.

This television movie will begin shooting this week in Toronto. The show itself is going to run later this season on CBS.

When Love Is Not Enough: The Lois Wilson Story will tell the true story of Lois Wilson, she was the co-founder of Al-Anon. It will also look into her relationship with her alcoholic husband Bill Wilson. He was one of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous.

The couple lived a lavish lifestyle in the 1920s, but Bill’s drinking eventually caused them both problems. Eventually, Wilson became sober — but Lois continued to have a hard time due to his alcoholism. Al-Anon was started in 1951 to aid people whose “loved ones battle addiction.”

When Love Is Not Enough: The Lois Wilson Story is going to be based on the book by William Borchert. He also wrote the screenplay with Camille Thomasson.

According to Variety, Winona is filming a new project: When Love is Not Enough: The Lois Wilson Story. This is the tale of Lois Wilson, married to an alcoholic who was the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. In 1951, Lois founded Al-Anon, a support group for friends and family of alcoholics. This movie is a Hallmark Hall of Fame Presentation for CBS.

The movie is based on Lois Wilson biography:

Near the bottom of her husband Bill’s downward spiral into alcoholic hell, when he collapsed one night in a drunken stupor in the hallway of their Clinton Street, Brooklyn home, Lois Wilson felt she could bear no more. Pounding hysterically on his chest, she screamed out in despair: “You don’t even have the decency to die!” The compelling story behind this painful, oft-repeated scene eventually led to two of the most important movements of the twentieth century: Alcohol Anonymous and Al-Anon.

Lois Wilson, the wife of the man who co-founded Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), stuck by her husband through his seventeen years of tormented and abusive alcoholic drinking, believing that her unconditional love could get him sober. But it could not. The daughter of well-to-do parents, this loving and determined women watched her husband, Bill Wilson, destroy his career, his relationships and his health, checking into and out of alcoholic sanatoriums as he neared the point of insanity and death. Finally, through a life-changing spiritual experience, the fellowship of AA was born.

It was through Lois Wilson’s heart-rending, emotional struggle and her witnessing other spouses and children similarly impacted that she came to realize that alcoholism is a family disease and that the solution was a program for recovery, a family support group that came to be known as Al-Anon.

No info found, yet, about Noni’s character in this movie.

SlashFilm has announced that Vincent Cassel, Winona Ryder, and Barbara Hershey have all joined the cast of Black Swan. The film stars Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis as rival ballet dancers at a dance school. Ryder plays Beth, who is a friend of Portman’s character and the lead in all of the school’s productions. She’s nearing the end of her career, so all of other dancers are aiming to take her place as Odette, the Swan Queen, in the next big ballet: Swan Lake. Cassel will play the handsome but sinister Yevna, director of the new stage production.

Shooting on Black Swan is scheduled to start in just a few weeks in New York City.

Synopsis: After 20 years, a successful author Henry McCarthy (Polish) returns to his home town to give a commencement speech, only to fall in love with his old crush Scarlet Smith (Ryder) but is asked to the prom by a sexy high school senior Shasta O’Neil (Duff). Henry faces tough decisions which cause him to consider his love for Scarlet who’s the perfect girlfriend, but when Principle Marshall (Chase) give advise on love things start to become hilariously entertaining.

LA-based American Cinema International has added the Polish Brothers’ high school film Stay Cool starring Winona Ryder and Hilary Duff to its AFM roster.

Mark Polish, Chevy Chase, Sean Astin, Josh Holloway and Jon Cryer also star in the tale of a successful author who falls for his high school sweetheart when he returns to give the commencement address.

Michael Polish directed the Initiate Productions film from Mark Polish’ screenplay. Both brothers produced.

“Stay Coolis a sharply written and directed film, eliciting great performances from an amazing cast,” ACI president Chevonne O’Shaughnessy said. “The chemistry amongst the ensemble cast really brings the story to life and delivers both funny and dramatic takes on a peculiar set of circumstances.”

“We’ve been on the lookout for a great, original comedy with mass commercial appeal and Stay Coolis a slam dunk in this category,” CEO George Shamieh said. “The film has the irreverent freshness that audiences are drawn to and truly appreciate.”

Cindy Bond brought the film to ACI and runs the faith and family production label Mission Pictures with O’Shaughnessy.

I just was checking the Rebecca Miller website, and saw an exclusive videoclipe of Winona. I don’t know if this is new to you, but is to me. You can check the exclusive video here, or here.

Remember, Pippa Lee opens on USA theathers on November 27. And also, DVD will be available to Europe on November 02.

The Informers is going to be released on DVD next August 25, and I’ve added high quality screencaptures to the gallery.

I don’t have too much to say about the movie but give voice to all reviews it had. If wasn’t Winona in it, I had stopped it in the middle. Of course it’s only my own opinion, since I’ve watch it with other friends and some of them really liked it. So…
About her role, it’s a small part, but she did it great, and looks extremely beauty!

Enjoy the caps!

ComingSoon.net has posted today the exclusive first look at the new poster for The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, which opens on October 23.

The official website is also up, and use the poster’s art as background.

Samantha noticed our gallery was missing screencaptures of the film “Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael”, and kindly send us 600+ screencaptures, plus DVD menus. Thank you!

This is one of my favorite old-school Winona movies. In this movie, she’s Dinky, a 15 years old girl, adopted as a baby, who thinks she’s the abandoned daughter of Roxy Carmichael, a minor movie star who left town for Hollywood fifteen years ago after giving birth to a baby girl out of wedlock. Watch the trailer.
