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.

Zoe Kravitz is just so beautiful and grounded. She is the spitting image of her father and mother.
She was so wonderful as Selina Kyle and want to see her become Catwoman in the next Batman movie. Need to see her in that Darwyn Cooke outfit with the goggles.
Very interested in seeing where her career goes not just in acting but directing and Blink Twice definitely looks intriguing.

Favorite shots... The shot of Frida from behind as Slater is showing her the room (it's very romantic and moody)... 2nd fave the shot of Frida and Sarah in the room with the red bags!! The film was a visual masterpiece!!

Another fantastic interview Perri. My only complaint is that I wish you had more time to ask additional questions.

[Katsu_--]

Am I the only one who thinks she looks a little bit like Emilia Clarke? She even has similar gestures.

[Model_Roe]

Zoe is my queen 👑! My dream is to do a movie directed by her you're so lucky you got to interview her she seems really cool and intelligent

[pauledangerously]

Reeves is cooking but would love an update from him

[Joshcoshbagosh]

I hope her directorial debut(I think?) goes well enough. Curious how much she will be in Batman 2, considering how the first movie left off

Another pseudo-intellectual attempting to direct (likely without knowing how to direct comprehensively) assuming that cinema is a suitable platform for their philosophies and that fans actually care about anything they are saying over cinematic and storytelling art and craftsmanship.

Bye-Bye, Olivia Wilde.
