Zoë Kravitz’s first film was going to be a headline-grabbing project, but her film deyet also made headlines due to its provocative name. Originally called Pussy Island, Kravitz’s film, starring Naomi Ackie and Kravitz’s fiancé Channing Tatum, is now called Blink Twice. , and Kravitz has now explained why he has changed the name. And that’s precisely what you’re thinking.
The name Pussy Island was intended to be provocative, that was the general idea. At the same time, to give a name to the film, it would not be enough to put the word on the screen, but to put everything ahead as a component of the promotion of the film. This turns out to be the last challenge with the name. Zoë Kravitz tells EW that she won opposition, not from the studio, but from other organizations that were going to have to deal with the name. Kravitz explained. . .
It made it clear to me that “pussy” is a word that we, our society, are not yet in a position to accept. There have been many obstacles along the way, whether the MPAA has refused to place it on a billboard, billboard, or kiosk; Cinemas do not need to include it in the ticket.
In fact, Zoë Kravitz sought to have her film have its original name, but in the end she had to balance the truth of the setting with her desires. Kravitz says he sought out the film to use the particular word because he was looking for women to be “reclaimed,” however, he has since found that women tend to have a greater challenge with the use of the word. She didn’t need the name to keep others from seeing the movie, so she agreed. Replace. The actress continued. . .
Interestingly, after research, women got angry at the word and those who saw the name said, “I don’t need to see this movie,” which is part of the reason I wanted to try using the word. word, which is to review it to recover it and not turn it into something that makes us uncomfortable to use, but we have not reached that point yet. And I think that’s something I have a duty to pay attention to as a filmmaker. worry about the other people watching the movie and how others feel.
The trailer for Blink Twice promises a funny, scary, and obviously over-the-top movie. The name is probably designed to fit into this final level. Unfortunately, the truth got in the way.
Cinema is a balance between art and business, and while it’s perhaps unfortunate that the film now has the somewhat mundane name Blink Twice, it’s probably greater for the film’s potential success. Pussy Island is a surprising name for a movie, but maybe one day the audience will be able to hear it and someone will be able to use it.
