Starring Timothée Chalamet as Edward’s son, Edgar Scissorhands, and Winona Ryder reprising his role as Kim, the sequel to the 1990 cult classic features the two navigating through life after Edgar inherited his father’s scissorhands. (Edward was played by Johnny Depp.)
Ryder, who currently stars in Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” told CNN that she was thrilled to return to the role, because the original film “occupies an incredibly special place in my heart”.
“This time is full of great memories. It’s a very special film for me, she says, adding that she always loves working with director Tim Burton.
“It was very surreal to see Timothee play my son, Edgar. He just blew me away,” she said. “He’s such a beautiful guy, so talented, so incredibly kind and unique. Really the perfect person to embody this character.”
Ryder added that he found it surprisingly good to repeat his own role and, especially, wanted to participate in the ad because General Motors was promoting an electric car that, it seems, finally allows Edgar to drive.
