" Lost Souls" starring Winona Ryder is billed as " an entrancing supernatural thriller about the eternal battle between good and evil. Set against a backdrop of contemporary cynicism and ancient exorcism, it uses the conventions of the horror film to examine issues of belief, trust, faith and love."

In December of 1996, Ryder accepted a role as a humanoid robot in 1997's Alien: Resurrection, alongside Sigourney Weaver, who had appeared in the entire Alien trilogy. Ryder's brother, Suri, was a major fan of the film series, and when asked, she took the role. The film became one of the least successful entries in the Alien film series, but was still a success all things considered, grossing $161 million worldwide.[18] Weaver's and Ryder's performances drew mostly positive reviews, and Ryder won a Blockbuster Entertainment Award for Best Actress. Ryder then starred in Woody Allen's Celebrity (1998), after Drew Barrymore turned down Ryder's role, in an ensemble cast. The film satirizes the life of multiple celebrities.

Following a starring role in the highly anticipated and almost as highly criticized Alien Resurrection in 1997, Ryder had a turn as the waif-ish object of Kenneth Branagh's affections in Woody Allen's Celebrity. She managed to escape much of the criticism leveled at both of these films, and in 1999 and 2000, she reappeared with lead roles in two films, Girl, Interrupted, in which she played a mental institution inmate in the female answer to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and the supernatural thriller Lost Souls.

[W]hile May Welland, her character in the Martin Scorsese film, lived in a splendid nineteenth-century world portrayed by Edith Wharton, Ryder herself is decidedly contemporary. The actress, who is currently starring in the film adaptation of Isabel Allende’s novel The House of the Spirits, and in the comedy of twenty-something life Reality Bites, can dress up in antique lace and high-heeled slippers one day and dress down in baggy jeans and high-top sneakers the next.

If Abrams’ Trek film follows the established mythology, Ryder would play Amanda, the human woman who marries Spock’s Vulcan father, Sarek. In the original series, Amanda was played by TV veteran Jane Wyatt.
