Screenwriter Guinevere Turner has won awards for The Notorious Bettie Page and worked on mainstream films like American Psycho and BloodRayne. We got the skinny on her new projects.
You've worked with many of the same people repeatedly, like Mary Harron, Christine Vachon and Rose Troche. Can you tell me about the bonds you have?
Obviously, my bond with Rose was what got me into Go Fish and that was the way I met Christine, and through Christine I met Mary. I'm lucky enough now, in L.A., to have a large support system of women filmmakers. We all work on each other's films and read each other's scripts, so there's even more relationships developing.
I was surprised a bigger rumor wasn't started after Kristanna Loken, the star of BloodRayne--a film you wrote--came out as bi after the film wrapped.
Did you expect a bigger rumor because she was gay?
She came out after working on a picture you wrote and maybe you two ...
God, I wish! You're always invited to go but I hate being on sets as a writer. I just hate being on sets if I don't have anything to do. I should have been on that set. Romania sounded lonely to me, only now I realize I could have been making out with Kristanna Loken. At the time I didn't know about her "gayness."
