'There were a lot of roadblocks along the way,' Kravitz said.
"Women were offended by the word, and women seeing the title were saying, 'I don't want to see that movie,'" Kravitz told," Kravitz said the reaction that she was getting from that title ultimately led her to change the name of the movie to "Zoe Kravitz attends the 2023 Academy Museum Gala at Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on in Los Angeles, Dec. 03, 2023.
But after research was done and the opposite response to the title from audiences, Kravitz said she needed to change it."It was made very clear to me that 'p****' is a word that we, our society, are not ready to embrace yet," Kravitz added. "There were a lot of roadblocks along the way, whether it be the MPAA not wanting to put it on a poster, or a billboard, or a kiosk; movie theaters not wanting to put it on a ticket.
Despite changing the title, Kravitz said that the essence of it is still "alive and very much present in the film.""I love the new title," she said. "I'm very happy with the new title. I think everything happens for a reason, and I think it actually really refocuses the movie in a great way. And I think that was always the way it was meant to be.
