Summary Before settling on Blink Twice, Zoë Kravitz had a different working title for her directorial debut. A psychological crime thriller, Blink Twice stars Naomi Ackie as Frida, a down-on-her-luck cocktail waitress and aspiring nail artist, and Channing Tatum as Slater King, a billionaire tech mogul who recently retreated from the public eye after being called out on his inappropriate behavior.
Pussy Island Was The Original Title Of Blink Twice Zoë Kravitz Wanted To Reclaim The Word With Her Directorial Debut Close Back in 2017, Zoë Kravitz began writing the screenplay for what would become Blink Twice, though she titled her project Pussy Island. By 2021, Kravitz decided to make it her directorial debut, and finished penning the script alongside E.T. Feigenbaum .
Why Zoë Kravitz Changed Pussy Island's Title To Blink Twice Studios, The MPA & Early Viewers Balked At The Word Choice Close A few weeks before Blink Twice's release, Kravitz explained why, despite her insistence, the film's title changed. The filmmaker explained that other powers that be — studios, the Motion Picture Association , and early audiences — made it clear that "p---y" isn't a word that "our society" is ready to embrace.
Although the original title was a means of "reclaiming" the word, and the first thing Kravitz wrote down when beginning the screenplay, the first-time director says she's happy with the new title of the movie. While the studio, MPA, and movie theater roadblocks were a bit frustrating, the realization that a majority of women were offended by the title — outright saying they wouldn't want to see a movie called Pussy Island — really pushed Kravitz to reconsider.
