This summer Zoe Kravitz will make her directorial debut with Blink Twice, a script she co-wrote with E.T. Feigenbaum. While most of the plot is still under wraps, we know that the movie follows Frida (Naomi Ackie), a cocktail waitress who becomes infatuated with tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum). She accepts an impromptu invitation to his private island, but a vacation in Paradise, quickly becomes a nightmare. When her friend disappears, Frida will have to uncover the truth to make it out alive.

The trailer, which was released in May, shed light on further twisty details including bacchanal like rituals, mysterious bruises, lost time, and excessive polaroid photos.

But what makes Blink Twice so intriguing lies with its original title ‘Pussy Island.’ When discussing the title with Deadline, Kravitz said “As a woman in general, and a woman in this industry, I’ve experienced some pretty wildbehavior from the opposite sex. The title was kind of a joke at first, this place where people would go, bring women, party, and hang out. The story evolved into something else, but the title wound up having multiple meanings. And it alludes to this time and place we claim to not be in anymore, in terms of sexual politics.”

While the secrets of the island remain a mystery, the dynamic of the vacationers is clear. This is a group of rich, powerful men and the beautiful women they allow into the room with them.

This is reflective in Blink Twice’s casting; cocktail waitress Frida is played by rising star Naomi Ackie (The Rise of Skywalker, Whitney Huston) while billionaire Slater is played by established movie star Channing Tatum (Magic Mike, The Lost City), thirteen years her senior, a clear attempt to accentuate their power dynamic. Slater’s (very white) friend group includes industry stalwarts such as Christian Slater and Kyle MacLachlan as Slater’s best friends and right-hand men while the women they bring to the island are a group of diverse (and much younger) women (Adria Arjona, Alia Shawkat).

It’s a classic trope. Powerful men and their status symbols—islands, private jets, cars, parties, girls. Blink Twice is a thriller from the perspective of those status symbols, the girlsthemselves. This is a particularly interesting story for Kravitz to tackle as her debut feature, because it seems likely that she has been a beautiful woman in rooms surrounded by male executives and shareholders. As her above explanation alludes to, she’s seen some pretty wild behavior from men in the film industry, and it’s likely she has witnessed how powerful men treat the beautiful women they let into the room with them. This is not a dynamic that many of us will ever witness; these are not rooms many of us will ever enter. While it’s unlikely Hollywood execs and billionaires are holding hallucinogenic bacchanals, Blink Twice has the chance to put a thrilling twist on a very real dynamic, to bring us not only a female perspective but a genuinely fresh perspective, which is one of the most important things a debut can do.

Of course, we’ll have to wait until August to see if Kravitz can pull it off. Changes have already taken place with the title shifting from its original Pussy Island to the less controversial Blink Twice. In a recent interview Zoe Kravitz acknowledged that she was finally convinced to change the title of the film after finding out women—the film’s target demographic—were being put off by the name. Fingers crossed that this will be the last studio change. Hopefully, when August comes, we’ll all be having, as the trailer suggests, a good time . . . better than those on Slater’s Island, anyway.
