Winona Ryder Lands Major Role in ‘The Iceman’

Winona Ryder has signed up for the true-story indie The Iceman, in which she’ll play contract killer Richard Kuklinski’s unwitting wife, Deborah.

Michael Shannon is already attached to star as Kuklinski — aka the Iceman — who led a somewhat normal family life for years while murdering people left and right for the mafia on the side. Chris Evans will play Kuklinski’s mentor in the film, from Israeli director Ariel Vroman.

Ryder last starred in January’s The Dilemma and has a voice role coming up in Tim Burton‘s animated movie Frankenweenie, out Oct. 5, 2012.
