Adding her considerable charm and talent to the latest Ron Howard directed comedy, Winona Ryder beat out a number of other high profile actresses to become the female lead in the movie (formerly known as) Cheaters. Ryder came away the victor after beating out Carla Gugino, Kate Beckensale and Uma Thurman.

Why is the role so coveted? Well it turns out the film is no tried-and-true fat guy/hot wife comedy. Rather, the movie, from screenwriter Allan Loeb (21), centers on two best friends, played by [Kevin] James and [Vince] Vaughn. When Vaughn’s character discovers that James’ wife (Ryder) has cheated on his best friend, he confronts her directly and must decide whether or not he will tell his friend. (Thus, the film often pits Ryder’s character opposite Vaughn’s.)

Looking forward to Ryder and Vaughn going at each other on the big screen.

Ryder will also be in Black Swan with Natalie Portman.
