Channing Tatum Praises Lady Love Zoe Kravitz For Directing Blink Twice: ‘This is Always What She Was Supposed to Do’

As a dedicated follower of the enchanting world of cinema, I have witnessed the mesmerizing journey of Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz, a duo whose passion for storytelling is as captivating as their on-screen magic.


It’s widely known that Channing Tatum firmly believes that Zoë Kravitz was destined to direct films all along. Her first directorial venture, “Blink Twice,” has garnered significant acclaim, with Tatum, who appears in the film, being particularly impressed by it.

Additionally, Tatum holds great admiration for Kravitz’s collaboration on scriptwriting and direction in the film “Blink Twice,” a psychological thriller. He emphasized that directing seemed to be an innate talent within her while they worked together in Yucatán, Mexico, during 2022.

He found working with Kravitz an engaging endeavor, largely due to her ardor for storytelling, which she expresses predominantly through film. Notably, films have played a pivotal role in their interaction. It came as little surprise when she endeavored to direct “Blink Twice,” as her approach to storytelling was never simply experimental or casual.

According to Deadline, Tatum stated, “She’s deeply passionate about movie stories, particularly films. In essence, we don’t engage in much else other than simply watching movies. It’s captivating to be near someone so enamored with it that it permeates their entire existence—it defines who they are.”

In simpler terms, the actor who plays Deadpool and Wolverine commented, “I’m not sure if there was a plan, but I believe it was something she needed to acknowledge – this was what she was destined for all along because she adores it so deeply.”

In 2021, Tatum started dating Kravitz when they were introduced by their mutual friend, Riley Keough. Surprisingly, it was Keough who helped bridge the gap in their communication, allowing Kravitz to pass this manuscript on to Tatum.

In her own words, Zoe Kravitz acknowledged that directing for the first time presented some difficulties that were not initially anticipated. However, she emphasized the importance of maintaining an open and innovative approach throughout the process.

She mentioned that when problems arise, maintaining a creative and active mindset usually steers you towards the path that was intended all along.

Twice Blinked is a joint work by E.T. Feigenbaum and Kravitz, starring Naomi Ackie (known for her role as Frida), who finds herself entangled with Slater King, portrayed by Channing Tatum, a tech magnate. He invites her on a journey to his exclusive island retreat, but strange occurrences start happening. The cast also includes Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Geena Davis, Haley Joel Osment, Kyle MacLachlan, Christian Slater, and Adria Arjona.
