‘Blink Twice’ – Zoë Kravitz Thriller Formerly Titled ‘Pussy Island’ Heads to Theaters This Summer
When we first reported on the directorial debut of Zoë Kravitz (The Batman) the project was titled Pussy Island, but we’ve learned this week that the thriller is now titled Blink Twice.
Deadline brings us this latest update today, reporting that Kravitz’s Blink Twice – Pussy Island was the better title, but I digress – will be released by Amazon MGM Studios on August 23.
It’s interesting to note that the film will be released in theaters, rather than debuting on Prime Video. Whereas Doug Liman’s Road House, also from MGM, is going direct to Prime.
Channing Tatum and Naomi Ackie star in the MGM thriller.
In Blink Twice, “Tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) meets cocktail waitress Frida (Naomi Ackie) at his fundraising gala, and sparks fly. He invites her to join him and his friends on a dream vacation on his private island. It’s paradise. 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.”
Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan and Geena Davis also star.
Kravitz wrote the script alongside E.T. Feigenbaum.
Fresh new label Dreamscape Productions has announced the upcoming creature feature comedy Round the Decay, with Deadline bringing us the first casting news this afternoon.
Melody Kay (The NeverEnding Story III) will star alongside Victoria Mirrer (Everwinter Night), Phil Duran (“Breaking Bad”), Damian Maffei (Haunt, The Strangers: Prey at Night), Sarah Nicklin (The Black Mass, Garden of Eden), and Rodger Clarke (Red Dead Redemption II).
Round the Decay follows “Kenzie (Victoria Mirrer) as she gets entangled in a sinister plot in the sleepy town of Newport Valley to get closure on her broken engagement.”
Here’s the full official plot synopsis…
“When prominent locals take in a lost hiker, Kenzie, newcomer Roz and mysterious outsider Munroe find themselves caught between the leaders of the town’s factions and entangled in an ancient sinister plot dating back to its founder that threatens the survival of the town and their lives.”
Adam Newman wrote the script and is also directing the horror film.
Round the Decay is produced by Newman, Hansson, Jay Voishnis, Jon Balanoff, and Adam McDonald; and executive produced by Sean Ward, CEO of Dreamscape.
