Winona Ryder, who used to be a staple among the young movie actresses, has decided to come out of her shell and star in a movie sometime this decade!

Just kidding, she has starred in some, um, decent (?) movies this decade. But this new Ron Howard comedy will mark her as a comeback actress. You know, the one that we grew up with and came to know and love.

Winona has landed herself a role in the upcoming Ron Howard comedy, previously titled, “Cheaters”, alongside Kevin James and Vince Vaughn.

EW reports:

Sources tell EW.com that Ryder beat out a slew of other actresses in her drive to land the part of Geneva, Kevin James’ wife. She auditioned twice for the part, outshining the likes of Kate Beckinsale, Carla Gugino and Uma Thurman, who flew herself in for the audition.

In the movie, Geneva cheats on her husband and his best friend (Vaughn) finds out. This pits the wife and the best friend against each other.

It sounds cute, I can’t wait to see her in something that highlights her acting talent again. I loved her in “Girl, Interrupted” and of course, “Heathers”.

Will you go see her in this? I know I will!
