*Amazon MGM Studios has released the trailer for Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut, “Blink Twice,” which was initially titled “Pu**y Island.”
Kravitz’s fiancee, Channing Tatum, leads the cast, portraying billionaire tech mogul Slater King, who invites friends to a mysterious private island. The film also stars Naomi Ackie, Christian Slater, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Kyle MacLachlan, Haley Joel Osment, with Geena Davis and Alia Shawkat.
Here’s the synopsis: When tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) meets cocktail waitress Frida (Naomi Ackie) at his fundraising gala, 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.

“As a woman in general, and a woman in this industry, I’ve experienced some pretty wild behavior from the opposite sex,” Kravitz previously told Deadline about the project. “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.”
She added, “People are evolving and changing, but there is still a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths from past behavior,” Kravitz continued. “It’s a nod to that, but it’s also playful and a really playful film in a lot of ways. I like that the title leads with that and has some heavy meaning beneath it.”
Kravitz co-wrote the “Blink Twice” script with E.T. Feigenbaum of “High Fidelity.”
“Blink Twice” arrives in theaters on Aug. 23.
