“The Batman” star Zoë Kravitz is set to make her directorial debut with the thriller “Blink Twice,” starring Channing Tatum. The movie, according to the first footage, is set on an island in which nothing is what it seems. Here’s what to know about the project.

Kravitz, who is also known for titles such as “High Fidelity,” co-wrote the script with E.T. Feigenbaum. The film has been a passion project for the actress, as she started working on it in 2017 with the working title “Pussy Island.”

The movie is being described as psychological drama, and it will explore themes surrounding gender and violence, as it was inspired by the “Me Too” movement. Apart from Tatum, who is set to showcase a very different side of him, he is not the only known star set to appear.

According to Collider, Tatum explained that the film is “exploring some very uncomfortable themes,” which were “scary to play because it’s definitely going to be a talk piece when it comes out. I think people are really gonna want to talk about it. That’s kind of the point, in a way. It’s meant to unsettle you.”
