Ryder back with "Heathers" scribe for "Sex"



Winona Ryder is reuniting with the scribe who wrote "Heathers" and helped establish the actress as the edgy "it" girl for Generation X. Ryder has signed on to star as a feminist vigilante who becomes an urban folk hero in "Sex and Death 101," which Daniel Waters wrote and is directing.

The story follows a man (Simon Baker) whose life is upended by a mysterious e-mail containing the 101 names of every woman he has had sex with and, eerily, every woman he will have sex with in the future. He is stopped in his tracks when he meets Ryder, a femme fatale who targets men guilty of sex crimes against women.

Julie Bowen ("Boston Legal") also has joined the cast and will play No. 29 on the long list of Baker's libidinous conquests. Dash Mihok ("Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang") is on board to play Lester, one of Baker's best friends. The movie will be "hard R" for nudity, sex scenes and frequent references to sex, said producer Cary Brokaw. The indie film, budgeted at less than $10 million, is shooting over the next six weeks on location in Los Angeles.
