News Update: Channing Tatum Says He “Didn’t Really Know” Zoë Kravitz Before She Sent Him ‘Blink Twice’ Script, With an Assist From Riley Keough.

Riley Keough she’s like, ‘Hey, my friend Zoë wants to send you a script.’ I was like, ‘Great, I love Zoë as an actress, I’d love to act with her.’

I didn’t know she wanted to make this thing,” Tatum told The Hollywood Reporter at the film’s Los Angeles premiere on Thursday.

She sent over the script — under the movie’s original title Pussy Island — “and I was like, ‘OK, Zoë Kravitz is sending me something called Pussy Island, I think I should probably read this.’ And that was like six years ago, and it’s been just such a journey,” he continued.

“The script from the first time I read it has changed so much, from the first time we even shot it and edited it has changed so much — she’s truly going on a beautiful first-time director’s journey.”
