After honing her writing and producing skills on High Fidelity, Zoë Kravitz is ready to make the leap to directing with her next film: Blink Twice (previously titled Pussy Island), which will hit theaters on August 23, and stars Channing Tatum as Slater King, a billionaire tech mogul.
Described as a genre thriller, Kravitz’s feature directorial debut will follow a cocktail waitress in Los Angeles named Frida (Naomi Ackie) who catches King’s eye at a fundraising gala and is swiftly invited to join him and his friends on a dreamy holiday on his private island. “It’s paradise,” reads the log line. “Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. 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.” On April 23, the first trailer dropped—and it’s as unsettling as you would expect. It also features a first look at the film’s starry supporting cast, which includes Alia Shawkat, Christian Slater, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Geena Davis, and Kyle MacLachlan.
