Zoë Kravitz Interview: Making Blink Twice & The Batman 2 Update

Zoë Kravitz has been soaring as an actress in this industry for years now. Her talent is raw and undeniable, so hopes were high that it’d translate to great success behind the lens as well. Not only does she meet those expectations with her feature directorial debut, Blink Twice, but she far exceeds them. The resolute and assured filmmaking on display in this Amazon MGM Studios release instantly makes Kravitz one of the most exciting directors on the rise in Hollywood. Originally titled Pussy Island, Blink Twice stars Naomi Ackie as Frida, a cocktail waitress who gets the opportunity of a lifetime — to be whisked away by tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) to his private island for limitless partying with his high profile friends. It’s a dream come true. Their days at the estate are filled with the best food and drink, hours in the sun at the property’s gorgeous pool, and wild nights of zero inhibition and maximum indulgence. No one wants it to end — that is until Frida begins to wonder if this idyllic getaway is too good to be true. With Blink Twice making its way into theaters on August 23, I got the opportunity to sit down with Kravitz to discuss her experience making the move from acting to directing. We discussed the development of the concept, lessons learned from directors she worked with as an actor that she brought to the Blink Twice set, the Matrix-like scene of the film that was especially challenging to execute, and loads more. She also offers a brief update on The Batman 2. #zoekravitz #interview #blinktwice #batman #thebatman For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL
