No “Heathers” sequel

Sunday, Jul 5, 2009

When it comes to the recently rumored HEATHERS sequel, the original’s director Michael Lehmann has just two words: Corn Nuts.

He’s got another one: “No.” As Lehmann tells Movieline, “Winona [Ryder]’s been talking about this for years â€” she brings it up every once in a while and Dan Waters and I will joke about it, but as far as I know thereâ€™s no script and no plans to do the sequel. A couple weeks ago everyone started talking about it and I guess Winona said the movie was gonna get made, and I thought, â€œI donâ€™t know, maybe they did this without me?â€ But I got in touch with Dan Waters and he said he didnâ€™t know anything about it. So I donâ€™t think thereâ€™s any truth to it.”

Despite the insistence of Spock’s mom that she and Christian Slater would somehow return, Lehmann pumps that theory full of Ich LÃ¼ge bullets: “a movie as specific as Heathers, which took place in a specific time and specific place and in which many of the characters got killed off, I never thought it made sense to see a sequel.”

The 1988 cult classic involves a clique of popular high school girls whose lives are disrupted by a rebellious new student who convinces one of the girls to start killing cruel classmates.

Winona salute Hal Ashby

Saturday, Jun 27, 2009

Winona attended last June 25 an academy salute to oscar winning filmmaker Hal Ashby at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, in Beverly Hills. I added some HQ pictures of her (thanks to MaryJane) with awesome screenwriter Diablo Cody (which I’m praying to wrote Noni’s next movie, hah).

I added 30 new Saturday Night Live stills in our gallery. If you don’t remember, Winona host a SNL episode late in May 2002. Sketches include “Jimmy Carter In Cuba,” “Celebrity Jeopardy!,” “Uncle Mike & Uncle Danny,” “Botox”, “Bear Researchers,” “Girl Next Door: The Search For a Playboy Centerfold,” “Love-Ahs,” “Mango, Winona, and Moby Go Shoplifting,” and “Farewell To Will Ferrell.”

Moby performed “We Are All Made Of Stars” and “South Side.”

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 â€” 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).

Winona to star in Heathers 2

Tuesday, Jun 2, 2009

Yes, there will be a sequel to the 1988 cult dark comedy “Heathers,” starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater.

Ryder is pretty excited, because it means appearing in a follow-up to the film that made her famous oh-so-many years ago. She tells Us Magazine:

“Whatever you hear, there is a sequel in the works. I swear to God. But for some reason the writer Dan Waters and director Michael Lehman don’t want to talk about it. I’ve been wanting to do a sequel forever. There is a story, and Christian [Slater] has agreed to come back as a kind of Obi-Wan character.”

In the photo: Winona Ryder and her “Heathers” costar Christian Slater were the Kristen Stewart/Robert Pattinson of their day. Here they are the Oscars in 1989.

“Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael” screencaptures

Monday, Jun 1, 2009

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! :love:

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.
