Zoë Kravitz is making her directorial debut this year with a film she co-wrote with E.T Feigenbaum called Pussy Island. The story centres around a young cocktail waitress who meets a tech mogul played by Channing Tatum who invites her on the trip of a life time.
The pair head off to a private island where the parties are endless and the drinks keep flowing, but after spending some time on the island, the young waitress starts realizing there is something much more sinister going on there...
Zoë told Deadline that she started writing the story back in 2017 after being inspired by the industry and how things are different for women who are brought into the fame club. Production on the new movie will apparently begin next year on a tropical island so stay tuned!
"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. People are evolving and changing but there is still a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths from past behavior. 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.”
