As BloodRayne opens across the nation, queer fans are getting a chance to see the newest flick from lesbian actress and screenwriter Guinevere Turner (the femme in Go Fish who’s now writing for The L Word). Offering added lesbian cred, the film stars Lost’s Michelle Rodriguez (who has been a girlie heartthrob since Girlfight) and Kristanna Loken (the Terminatrix from Terminator 3).
As the title character, Loken is a half-human, half-vampire woman on a mission to avenge the rape of her mother by her father, and is invited to join the Brimstone Society in fighting vampires.
“I was painted in latex and it fucking hurt like a mother fucker when they took it off,” she admits. “But the photo shoot was fun, and doing the magazine interview was great. If you can’t have fun and [you] take life too seriously, what’s the point of living?”
I spent a recent afternoon with 26-year old Loken at the famed Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood. Seated in the kitchen of her suite, sipping from a champagne flute full of sparkling water (the actual champagne comes later that night at the BloodRayne release party), Loken admits that she likes to appeal to women as much as to men.
“Women are drawn to other strong women,” says Loken. “I am the only woman who has ever fought Arnold [Schwarzenegger] in any movie and won. That might turn some women on.”
The woman who is has been in tabloid newspapers after being spotted kissing singer Pink at a nightclub, was more outspoken than ever about her own sexuality. Loken says, "I have dated and have had sex with men and women and have to say that the relationships I have had with certain women have been much more fulfilling, sexually and emotionally, than of those with certain men. I connect with an aura, with energy. And if the person with whom I connect happens to be a female, that’s just the way it is. That’s what makes my wheels turn."
Curve’s exclusive interview will appear in the March 2006 issue. Of course, while you’re waiting to Loken’s exclusive interview, you’ll want to rush to theaters this weekend to see BloodRayne, an action-adventure, good-meets-evil, vampire film set in 1723, in which Sapphic seduction (or smooching, at least) isn’t scant.
