Metamoar - guin turner


The following are excerpts taken from Catherine Crouch.com

Word: Metamora sounds like a fascinating film idea. How did it come about?
CC: The film came to me just by sitting around and watching old horror movies - films that deal with people transforming into other things, and the excesses and the fear of science. These films deal with many of the issues that I am interested in looking at in my film.

Word: The title of the film - Metamora - resonates in so many ways. How did you choose it?
CC: We initially wanted to call it Monster, but then that title was taken first by Patty Jenkins. I was really wedded to using the "M" word, and we were thinking of shooting in southwest Indiana. And one of the towns we were looking at is named Metamora. I also kept thinking the title should be Latin because I wanted it to have a Gothic feel. Metamora means "turning point" plus "period of time" in Latin. It sounds a little like "metamorphosis". So, it works in many ways. It also has a feminine sound to it. A friend of mine asked what the title of the movie was, and when I said Metamora she went, "ooooooohh". And that was the response I wanted.

Word: Guinevere, you are starring in Metamora. What role are you playing?
GT: I am playing Kay, the bisexual who breezes into town and gets into trouble with the monsters - well, trouble meaning sex.
