Channing Tatum Says Zoë Kravitz’s ‘Blink Twice’ Doesn’t Feel Like a Directorial Debut: Working on the MGM thriller writer/director Kravitz made Tatum "fall back in love with movies."

Channing Tatum credited Zoë Kravitz's directorial debut 'Blink Twice' for reviving his love of films.

Tatum told Vanity Fair that the script for the upcoming feature, which was originally titled “ Pussy Island,” was “unlike anything I had ever read,” and that he needed to cut his acting hiatus short to co-lead the feature. Tatum in “Blink Twice” plays tech billionaire Slater King, who invites cocktail waitress Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island for the perfect vacation. She kind of leads from both places and that is very rare, because she’s got an insanely big brain in that little tiny head of hers.
