Winona Ryder Returns To The World Of “Edward Scissorhands”

Winona Ryder has returned to the world of Edward Scissorhands as part of Cadillac’s Super Bowl commercial in which her “son” Edgar gets the all-electric Cadillac LYRIQ.

In the latest example of a star actor returning to a previous role to sell a product, Ryder can be seen as the mother to Edgar, a teenager navigating through life with scissors for hands.

In one of the best movie-commercial spin-offs of recent years – up there with Macauley Culkin’s return to Home Alone for the Google Assistant advert as well as the Joe Pesci-starring “sequel” – Cadillac’s 60-second advert is a fun and nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Edward Scissorhands director Tim Burton said it’s “rare when a work you’re proud of continues to live on and evolve with the times, even after 30 years. I’m glad to see Edgar coping with the new world! I hope both fans and those being introduced to [the original film] for the first time enjoy it.”
