Welcome to Debbie!
We'd like to take this opportunity to welcome the lovely Debbie to GuinTurner.com. You can check out Debbies section 'Guinterpol' and see all the additions she's made to the site as it grows. We appreciate all help we get here at GT.com because we (max & maddy) lead pretty hectic lives and at times find it difficult to hunt down the latest news articles etc. Debbie has been a lifesaver in this respect and we look forward to a long and happy partnership with her.

Also thanks to Debbie you can check out new images in Guin Gallery Two.

December 2003 UPDATE:
Merry Christmas everyone!
Not long now until the L word starts at least in the states! We'll keep you posted on any further news,

JUNE 2003 UPDATE:
The L Word (your letters sent to Guin)
As was listed on the front page of the site recently Guinevere contacted us and asked fans to email in with ideas for the show 'The L Word'. We had quite a few responses ALL of which were sent to Guin when we received them. Thanks to everyone who participated and took time to email their ideas. You can see guins msg here.

Guinews
Interview-Phone, Email etc!
Ok so I have Guins home phone number and her cellphone. I called her a few times and got her machine (nice cute guin message btw). Anyway I never managed to cross paths with her at the right time and foolishly gave up. Yes I know, I missed the chance of a lifetime but fear not fans I am planning to attempt to get that phone interview once more.
I will be calling and emailing her over the next few weeks in the hope that I can catch her at home, shes a busy woman after all! Please if theres something you want to ask her email it to us but don't get me to ask 'do you have a gf'. As much as we'd all like to know, I think she's probably not that keen to discuss! :o) ...... Max xxxx

Current Schedule
Seems our Guin is madly busy as usual right now. Mainly with putting her multi talents in the direction of script writing. In the pipeline at the moment are numerous adaptations of novels such as Jerzy Kosinskis 'Pinball' and 'Blind Date'. Blind Date sounds like a great premise for a script since it's based around such diversities as blackmail, murder, escaping being murdered at the Bel Air home of Sharon Tate the night of the Manson Killings, transexual temptresses and more! Can't wait to see what Guin does with that script, sounds like it might be a really great movie. Pinball sounds like it might also be an interesting movie. To be directed by Gary Fleder who has most recently directed 'The Imposter' and 'Don't Say A Word' along with a few tv series so this film will hopefully see the light of day.Perhaps the most amazing fact that Guin is working on the scripts for these novels is that the man who wrote them led a life worthy of a film himself. His rather colourful life led to his apparent suicide in 1991 and many to this day still discredit him as a writer in his own right but rather as a phony. The script for the movie 'The Inquisitor' is also a project Guin is working on and it's set to be directed by Neil LaBute whose most famous work is possibly 'In The Company Of Men' and 'Nurse Betty'. Hopefully all of these projects will work out and we'll be able to check out Guins interpretations of these novels sometime soon.

Whats happening with Bettie Page?
This project seems to have been discussed for years, well actually, it has been! Anyway the actual script is finished but the movie is still incomplete and infact it's difficult to know if it's even in production. IMDB has no record of this movie which isn't a good sign. Tentatively titled The Ballad Of Bettie Page, the movie was expected to surface some time in the summer of this year but the winter months are coming closer and still no movie. Could be that it's simply facing problems because of the various other Bettie Page productions which are meant to be up and running also but we all know that NOBODY deserves this more than Guin with all the effort and work she's put into the research of the movie. Plus face it, she looks a lot like Bettie Page.

Stray Dogs, Junk, Pipe Dreams and Seahorses.
Stray Dogs sounds like it's a heavy movie which requires you to be in a certain type of serious mood to watch but since Guin is the main character I'm sure it'll be great all the same. It's available soon on dvd or vhs and you can check out the link to the page where you can buy it from the stray dogs section in the movies page.
Junk is pretty elusive and no word on where to get to see it at home yet.
Pipe Dreams sounds like a pretty good movie and Guins character as Diane Beltrami sounds great. You should be able to get a copy of this soon enough hopefully. The fact it has Mary Louise Parker in it is a semi bonus since she has been in two lesbian friendly movies already 'Boys On The Side' and 'Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistlestop Café'.
Seahorses looks like such a sweet premise for a movie. So tragic yet really interesting. It's a short movie which director Tania Trepanier has made to help launch her film career and it basically about a woman who has amnesia and wakens up in hospital with a man claiming to be her husband and a woman claiming to be her wife (guin). Sounds intriguing. Wonder if we'll ever get to see it! Most up to date news appaears to be that it's in post production but we think it might be a little more complete than that now and hope to catch it soon.


News on the Guin front states that the lovely Guin will be playing the character of Mary in a movie named Junk. The movie will hopefully be released later in the year and is being directed by Stephanie Meurer. It is currently in production and no doubt keeping Guin busy as she combines it with her other projects.

Other Guin Film news is that she'll be playing a supporting role in the movie Pipe Dream which is being directed by John Walsh. The movie also stars such names as Mary-Louise Parker, Rebecca Gayheart and a few others who are recognisable... looks like it should be an interesting movie for Guin to be in!

Even more Guin!!!??? Yup thats right.. Giun is in another movie.. isn't this coooool. Anyway.. she's playing a woman named amanda in a short film by Tania Trepanier named Seahorses. Not sure whether this one will go national though.. but we can live in hope!
Thanks to 'Cara' and 'Kent' for the info mentioned above - posted sept 2001


Ok so you're all wondering what Guin is up to at the moment other than doing the Film Festivals and the usual stuff... so here goes.. shes working on a script for director Neil LaBute (Nurse Betty, Your Friends And Neighbours, In The Company Of Men). The script is at the moment named 'The Inquisitor' and as well as this Guin is keeping busy adapting the novel Pinball for the big screen. As always The Ballad Of Bettie Page is still underway and hopefully it should be out there for us all to see around 2002... about time i hear you all cry and heres hoping that this particular version is the most successful since rumours abound that Martin Scorcese is making an alternative version with Liv Tyler in the lead role... but hey we ALL know Guin will portray a far better Bettie Page than Liv Tyler! Also if you get the chance to see Stray Dogs DO SO! As soon as we're in touch with Guin (VERY soon, work commitments permitting) we'll ask her for some more news and a special message for her fans!
Thanks to 'Parks' for some of the info mentioned above


OLDER NEWS: Guinevere has written the screenplay for this movie and plans to star in it. It is based on the life of 50's 'model' Bettie Page who caused much controversy in her time with her rather risque poses which often included bondage and sado-masochistic tones. Not too much is known about the production of this movie other than the script is all finished by Guin and Mary Harron but hopefully we can let you know soon, as we also are desperate to find out!
Just to dispell any rumours...... Guin hasn't been thrown off this movie in favour of Liv Tyler who is 'apparently' to star in ANOTHER movie about Bettie Page which is being directed by Martin Scorcese and currently has the running title of Bettie Page:The Life Of A Pinup Legend. As far as we know, the Bettie Page movie which Guin co-wrote and is due to star in, is currently in development in New York by Christine Vachon the lady who produced Go Fish of course, and is called The Ballad Of Bettie Page.
