According to an online extract from the current issue of On Our Backs, Guinevere Turner is set to script the upcoming Blood Rayne for the big screen. Fanboys and girls will, of course, most likely have first come across Guin Turner in either the Preaching to the Perverted film based on the world of the Genitorturers or her turn as both screenwriter and actress in American Psycho, the fine adaptation of the gruesome Brett Easton Ellis novel. Apparently, Turner was also one of the founders and a recurring on television’s The L Word. This fall, a biopic she wrote on the life and times of original bondage queen pinup Bettie Page will be coming to a theatre near you. Forrest Black and Amelia G of Blue Blood fame shot the photos of Guinevere Turner on the cover and I’m guessing the inside of this issue of On Our Backs. I’m going to have to pick up a copy, partly because I love their photography and partly to see what else the interview says about this fascinating woman who has managed to be noticed both creating the films and in them. I hear that the Joey Lauren Adams character in Mallrats is based on her – Guin Turner/Gwen Turner – but I don’t know if there is any truth in the rumor.
