The Guinevere Turner-penned thriller Breaking The Girl is now in pre-production from Myriad Pictures, and will star Amanda Crew and Adrianne Palicki and be directed by Jamie Babbit (But I'm a Cheerleader.) Guinevere Turner previously wrote the screenplays for horror films American Psycho and Bloodrayne.
The plot: Two attractive college students - the innocent and scholarly Sara and the manipulative and sexy Alex, become more than friends when they make a pact to kill off each other's nemesis. But Alex soon grabs the upper hand and Sara discovers she is being set up for murder.
Expect it in 2010.
Guinevere Turner in new queer horror film 'The Owls'
By Superheidi on August 29th, 2009
Guinivere Turner (American Psycho, Bloodrayne) stars as 'Iris' in a new female-directed queer horror/thriller called The Owls, in which four lesbians accidentally kill a younger woman and try to get away with it.
The Owls (currently shooting) seems to have a surrealistic and experimental quality to it. It will "(if sometimes gruesomely) mix the stories of its thriller characters with those of its behind-the-scene makers to create an end product that complicates easy images of contemporary lesbian identity, cross-generational interaction, and queer media." Sounds complicated...
