Winona Ryder will play the female lead opposite Wes Bentley and Ray Romano in Geoffrey Haley's offbeat romantic dramadey The Last Word, according to Production Weekly.

Haley will direct his own script about a reclusive writer played by Bentley, who makes his living composing other people's suicide notes. His life gets turned upside down after he embarks on a tumultuous romance with Ryder, the sister of a recently deceased client.

Filming is set to begin later this month in Los Angeles.
