Blink Twice Interview: Simon Rex, Alia Shawkat and Christian Slater
Naomi Ackie is the headliner of Blink Twice, and she’s an absolute ace in the role, but Zoë Kravitz’s feature directorial debut is also an ensemble piece that demands pitch-perfect casting across the board. In the film, Ackie’s character, Frida, gets what she thinks is a dream opportunity — to be whisked away by a tech billionaire (Channing Tatum) to his private island where she can spend limitless time relaxing by the pool and partying with his high-profile friends. What starts as a high-energy party film you can’t help but want more of takes a deft descent into disturbing chaos courtesy of Kravitz’s clear vision, the cast chemistry, and each actor’s thorough understanding of their role.
Alia Shawkat steps in as Jess, Frida’s best friend who joins her on this trip to Slater King’s private island. Christian Slater is Vic, described succinctly in the production notes as “the jerk that the rest of them put up with.” And then there’s Simon Rex’s Cody, the member of the group who incessantly shows off the food he’s cooked and has a thing for Adria Arjona’s Sarah, even though she’s busy looking in Slater King’s direction.
With Blink Twice now playing in theaters, I got the chance to sit down with the trio to revisit their experience working with Kravitz as a director and their collaboration with each other as an ensemble. On top of that, Shawkat touched on her time working with Ben Stiller on Severance Season 2, and Slater teased what to expect from Harry’s storyline in Dexter: Original Sin.
