Zoë Kravitz is finally making her directorial debut starring her beau Channing Tatum. The actress, who has long been known as one of the finest actresses in the industries, is taking the director’s set for her debut project ‘Blink Twice’.
The film, which earlier went by the name ‘Pussy Island’, has had quite a few conversations about its name. Here’s what Kravitz had to say about the film title and how it resonates with the plot.
Why Is Zoë Kravitz’s Film Titled ‘Blink Twice’?
‘Blink Twice’ already got into pretty deep conversations for its previously held title ‘Pussy Island’. Zoë Kravitz talked about what exactly inspired her to have that title. “Blink Twice is a line that she says in the film, but I actually feel like it is the right title for the film. I think it actually focuses the core of what the movie’s about” she said.
As for the change in the title, the actress has said to EW, “It was made very clear to me that ‘pussy’ is a word that we, our society, are not ready to embrace yet. There were a lot of roadblocks along the way, whether it be the MPAA not wanting to put it on a poster, or a billboard, or a kiosk; movie theaters not wanting to put it on a ticket.”
