Winona is cover of UK Elle Magazine, issue of July. The picture is from Matthias Vriens McGrath and I can’t wait to see the whole set.
I’ll post scans as soon the magazine is out.
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.

As promised yesterday, added several more HQ pictures. I have almost a hundred MQ pictures to add here, and will do this after finishing this post.
I need to say that I was SO suprised she attended the premiere. Not because she even wasn’t attending any of her recent premieres, but because I was watching the webcast and didn’t saw her. So, when the first images started to pop, it was something like “OMG, she’s there!”. And also she was so young, so fresh and beautiful. Can’t help but squeeze. 
The thumbnail shows Winona and Zachary Quinto, which is the picture I was waiting for. Mr. Spock and mother. Can’t wait for see this movie on screen.
Is it May 07 already??
Check the gallery during the day, will be updated with more pictures.
UPDATE: Check again, added 20 more HQ pictures.
UPDATE: Keep checking, added 272 MQ pictures
SHE WAS THERE!
Winona attended tonight the Star Trek Premiere in Los Angeles. I really wasn’t expecting her tonight since she didn’t go to “The Informers” and “Stay Cool” premieres. But she was there, and beautiful, as always!
I’m starting to add pictures, as soon I find it. This is a little preview:
Update: Added HQ pictures to the gallery. More will be added tomorrow.
IESB.com has posted an overview for the main characters of Star Trek. Winona is mentioned, of course, when talking about Spock. Quinto, also, talk about Winona:
When the U.S.S. Enterprise leaves the dock for the first time headed for the stars, one officer aboard stands worlds apart from the rest: the man known simply as Spock. Spock was born on the planet Vulcan, a world where emotions became so out-of-control that they were done away with forever in favor of pure logic. However, Spock’s mother is human, leaving Spock to grow up fighting an internal battle between the rational and the instinctual. As Spock’s father, Sarek, tells him: “You are fully capable of choosing your own destiny . . . this is something only you can decide.” (…)
Quinto also enjoyed working with two other classic characters who play a pivotal role in “Star Trek”: Spock’s bi-galactic parents, his earthling mother Amanda Grayson and his Vulcan ambassador father Sarek, played respectively by two-time Academy Award® nominee Winona Ryder (“The Age of Innocence,” “Little Women”) and the British actor Ben Cross, renowned for his role in the Oscar®-winning “Chariots of Fire.” Together, the two created a starkly contrasting yet richly sophisticated couple. “Winona brought a real tenderness to the role and she really highlights the juxtaposition between her heartfelt way of being and Sarek’s logic,” Quinto says. “Ben was such a great energy to be around. He has such certitude and a groundedness as Sarek that I was able to connect with him right away.”

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.
Q: What made you decide to bring Winona Ryder into the Star Trek fold?
JJ: I’d always been a fan of Winona’s. One of the models that we had for this movie was Superman, the Dick Donner film. The way that he cast that film, all the lead roles were essentially unknowns and many of the supporting roles were people that you had seen before and knew, to some degree, and obviously, with Marlon Brando, knew very well. I just thought it would be nice, given that we had a cast that was, for the most part, unknowns that we give roles that we could to actors that were known. Eric Bana is essentially hidden in disguise in this movie. You can’t really recognize him. For the role of Amanda, to get Winona Ryder was just one of those things where I thought it would be great to have an actress who people would recognize and, hopefully, not get pulled out of the movie, but feel like there was some support for the younger, fresher faces.

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.

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