Channing Tatum is set to star in a new psychological thriller, ‘Blink Twice,’ directed by his partner, Zoë Kravitz. The film, which is scheduled for release on August 23, has garnered significant attention even before its release, with fans speculating about its similarities to other recent thrillers.
One of the films that ‘Blink Twice’ has been compared to is ‘Saltburn,’ a 2023 film directed by Emerald Fennell. Both films feature wealthy individuals inviting unsuspecting guests to their private islands, where strange and sinister events begin to unfold. Fans have pointed out the similarities between the trailers for the two films, particularly the scenes of lavish parties and unsettling imagery.
However, other fans have suggested that ‘Blink Twice’ may have more in common with films like ‘Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery’ or ‘Midsommar.’ These films are also known for their intricate mysteries, suspenseful atmospheres, and social commentary. The original title for ‘Blink Twice’ was ‘Pussy Island,’ but it was changed during the development process.
‘Blink Twice’ marks Kravitz’s directorial debut and will be her first feature film. The film’s cast includes Naomi Ackie, who will play the role of Frida, a woman who is invited to a private island by tech billionaire Slater King (played by Tatum). As the weekend progresses, Frida begins to uncover the dark secrets of the island and its inhabitants.
The film has generated a lot of buzz among fans of Tatum and Kravitz, and many are eagerly awaiting its release in August. With its intriguing premise and talented cast, ‘Blink Twice’ is poised to be a thrilling and thought-provoking cinematic experience.
