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.

AMCtv has a exclusive clip of Stay Cool, in their Tribeca special page. It shows a 2 minutes scene with Winona and Mark in a restaurant. I added a few captures and will upload the video to download. For now, just see the video below. Thanks, as always, Chris B for the heads up.

EW.com has two reporters covering the Tribeca Film Festival in New York, and today they start to share what they’ve seen.

ADAM MARKOVITZ: I haven’t made it to as many screenings as you have, but I did catch the world premiere of Stay Cool, the new back-to-high-school movie from the Polish brothers (The Astronaut Farmer). Mark Polish was the lead, but the supporting cast — Sean Astin and Josh Holloway as goofy buds, Hilary Duff as a teen queen — definitely stole the show. And best of all was Winona Ryder, who skipped the premiere but was still the movie’s MVP for bringing loads of charisma to her role as a high-school dream girl who’s all grown up. And speaking of premieres, I’m off to see the debut of the Matthew Broderick drama Wonderful World. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Hollyscoop: Yes! Director Michael Polish said he “definitely stalked” Winona Ryder, but he says, “I don’t think it’s stalking if you’re making movies. I would not do anything to scare her.”

Michael spoke exclusively with Hollyscoop. com at The Tribeca Film Festival where his latest film Staying Cool premiered over the weekend. He said when he and his brother Mark Polish wrote the movie they “pinpointed Winona for it.”

“We wanted her because she is the icon for us from the 80s. She is the same age as us. She is the girlfriend,” Michael told Hollyscoop exclusively. “We knew we had friends in common, make up artists and costume designers, and I knew she liked Twin Falls Idaho so we sent her the script.”

Jokingly, Michael said that he then “stood outside her door for four days.” Though, he did go to an extreme measure. He asked Winona “you want to watch Some Kind of Wonderful with me” and then they “watched it four times in her house.”

Four times ? Now that does sound a little stalker crazy but Michael explains, “It’s a great high school movie about a love triangle. We talked about the characters in the movie, but I think she had made up her mind already (about being in the movie) or I would not be in her house.”

Wow! That is an interesting way to cast a film, but it seems appropriate since Staying Cool is about a successful author, played by Mark Polish, who faces his high school crush when he returns to make a speech at his Alma Mater. The film also stars Hilary Duff, Sean Astin, and Chevy Chase.

TrekMovie has posted about some Star Trek deleted scenes. Unfortunallly, there’s one with Winona:

Some of the Kirk and Spock back-story
The new Star Trek is an ‘origin story’ with the primary focus on Kirk and Spock. Both have scenes from their childhoods which ended up in the final film, but some still ended up cut. However, even though they aren’t in the film, some of this footage has been used in trailers and TV commercials, notably a scene at Spock’s birth.

DELETED: Scene with Amanda (Winona Ryder) and Sarek (Been Cross) holding baby Spock

I hope we’ll can see this scene on DVD. :(
