The Guardian – Winona: Ressurection

Monday, Oct 16, 2017

The Guardian has published an article with some insights of Winona’s career and, as the article stated, why Hollywood wouldn’t let her grown up.

Words by Soraya Roberts

Winona Ryder first became a mother on film when she was 36. In 2007, she was hired by Star Trek reboot director JJ Abrams to play Spock’s mum. It was a cameo and only a handful of lines – basically amounting to her being a proud mother – before she fell off a cliff. Abrams had chosen Ryder as an homage to Richard Donner’s Superman, in which the supporting roles were also filled with known faces. “I thought it would be great to have an actress who people would recognise,” Abrams said at the time. And they did, only this was an actress they recognised for her adolescence, not her adulthood.

Now aged 45, icon of youth or not, Ryder is an undeniable adult and adulthood for women means motherhood. She has played a mother three more times on screen and each time it has been a variation on an age-old Hollywood theme.
Before this era of her working life the last major starring role of Ryder’s film career was Girl, Interrupted in 1999, when she was 28 playing 18. “I went from weirdo teenager to pixie waif to them not knowing what the hell to do with me,” she told the New York Times last year. Part of it was her advancing age – Hollywood had locked her in as an ingenue, but she was no longer young enough to play one – though it was also the public’s perception of her that had changed.

Paramount has put some additional images out, to promote Star Trek for the Oscars, and I’ve added the Winona related ones in the gallery. Actually, the Winona BEAUTIFUL ones.
Also, Mata has kindly scanned a promotional “The Private Lives of Pippa Lee” from November’s French Premiere, and I also added it to the gallery. It’s only a poster version, but in a very decent quality.

Star Trek: The future begins here for Pine and Ryder

Saturday, Jun 6, 2009

By GEORGE HADLEY-GARCIA
Special to The Japan Times
The new “Star Trek” movie, with its tagline “The Future Begins,” may indeed begin a new phase in the careers of two of its stars, Winona Ryder and Chris Pine.

Pine is a fast-rising actor of 28 with solid stage and screen experience behind him. Playing Captain James T. Kirk, he is stepping into William Shatner’s large shoes — large in terms of fan following and Shatner’s notorious ego.

“I could be laughed off the screen or have my career blown seriously off course for this,” says Pine, a son of actors, whose grandmother Anne Gwynne was a noted character actress during Hollywood’s golden age.

Also, this “Star Trek” film, which offers audiences the beginnings of Kirk, Spock and company, will no doubt be compared to another franchise-origins picture that did well with audiences and critics, “The Dark Knight,” about early Batman (it won a posthumous Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Heath Ledger as The Joker).

“Star Trek” Los Angeles premiere – round 2!

Friday, May 1, 2009

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
