Archives: What’s Happening in HTG Town

In 2002, Winona Ryder was convicted of shoplifting after she was caught on camera stealing $6,000 worth of clothing from Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills. She was sentenced to three years probation and given 480 hours of community service to perform. Unfortunately, the sentence was not enough of a lesson for the actress.

Ryder, who has not appeared in an HTG project as of yet, recently set off the security alarm at a pharmacy after making some purchases. When she left the store, she set off an alarm that drew the attention of a security guard. An employee of the store stated “Winona had a bag of stuff, but she set off the theft alarm when she left the store. When a security guard stopped her, he found make-up she had not paid for. And when she was asked about the make-up, Winona answered ‘I don’t know how that happened.’ We took [the] unpaid items back and she left the store.”

Why would someone in Ryder’s position resort to habitual theft? A friend of the troubled star has a possible answer.

“Winona’s upset that she can’t find a role in HTG Hollywood,” commented the friend, who wished to remain anonymous. “Every time she thinks she’s got one, it doesn’t come to be. She was so sure she’d get the part of Shora Peram in Trax’s Star Wars film last year. But Rachel Bilson ended up getting the job. Winona eventually got over that. But when she heard that Trax is working on his next installment of his Star Wars trilogy, she snapped.”

Trax Star Productions recently announced that the next episode in the Star Wars saga, Episode XI: Mystery of the Sith, is preparing to enter production. After searching for the proper person to helm the project, it was decided that Joss Whedon will direct.

“The production team and the studio wanted to take the saga in a new direction,” mentioned a Trax Star representative. “Joss is the director to do it. It is unknown if he will direct the untitled Episode XII, however, the last episode in the new Trax trilogy.”

Advertising for the new feature will commence with a trailer (video on YouTube) on April 6th. Trax Star and Flip Brothers Studio had no response to queries concerning Winona Ryder.
