Zoë Kravitz, the media daughter of singer Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet will make her directing debut with a controversial title, Pussy Island . The news was provided by the Deadline medium and it is a project in which Kravitz , in turn, signs a co-written script with ET Feigenbaum , a screenwriter who already collaborated with her on the canceled television version of Hi-Fi . One of the first stars associated with the project has been actor Channing Tatum, who recently raised the temperatures on his social networks to promote the filming of Lost city of D. Perhaps because of things like this, the actor is the ideal person to take the lead in the project in which Zoë Kravitz will debut as a director.
The official synopsis that Deadline talks about speaks of a clear genre thriller in which the sexual component will be very present: “Frida is a smart young cocktail waitress in Los Angeles who is targeting the technology mogul Slater King ( Channing Tatum). When Frida makes her plans by approaching King’s inner circle, the journey to the tycoon’s private island begins. Amidst a stage full of beautiful people, champagne flows constantly and dance parties late into the night, Frida can feel that there is more to this island than meets the eye. Something that she cannot decipher but that is a bit scary. “
In reference to the controversial title with which Zoë Kravitz will debut as director, she herself has referred to its multiple meaning, claiming that “the title means many things . “It was kind of a joke at first, that place where people would go, bring women, celebrate and hang out. The story turned into something else, but the title ended up having multiple meanings, alluding to this time and place where we claim to never be again, in terms of sexual politics, “ stated Kravitz.
Finally, the actress highlighted her previous work with Tatum, who also worked on the script for the configuration of her character: “Chan was the first option I thought about when I wrote the character” (…) I just learned from Magic Mike and his live shows, I had the feeling that he is a true feminist and wanted to collaborate with someone who was clearly interested in exploring this topic. “
