Actors Zoe Kravitz and Channing Tatum’s upcoming film “Pussy Island” is now being released under a different name and on a different date. The movie is now titled “Blink Twice”, and it is set to be released August 23.
This horror movie revolves around a tech billionaire (played by Tatum) who invites an LA cocktail waitress to join him and his friends on a holiday on his uncanny private island. Like all horror movies, things take a dark turn from there. The movies script is also co-written by Kravitz along with writer E.T. Feigenbaum.
The film’s logline reads: “There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive,” as per People Magazine.
According to People Magazine, Kravitz initially had no intentions of dropping the racy title as she stated: “The title came from that world. The title is the seed of the story. It represents this time where it would be acceptable for a group of men to call a place that and the illusion that we’re out of that time now.”
Kravitz told WSJ Magazine in a 2022 interview that the film “was born out of a lot of anger and frustration around the lack of conversation about the treatment of women, specifically in industries that have a lot of money in them, like Hollywood, the tech world, all of that”.
Kravitz, according to Entertainment Tonight, began writing the film a while back when the MeToo movement shook Hollywood, and after hearing countless stories about powerful men inviting women to islands as well as doing an array of other gruesome things to females in the workforce.
The movie will star: Tatum, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and Geena Davis. It is set to be produced by Kravitz, Bruce Cohen, Tiffany Persons, and Garret Levitz, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
