As a gamer who’s had his fair share of movie marathons and late-night binge-watching sessions, I can confidently say that Zoë Kravitz has truly outdone herself with her directorial debut in Blink Twice. Channing Tatum’s glowing praises for her improvised line might seem like a casual anecdote, but it speaks volumes about the creative synergy between the two artists.
Although some of you might still be discussing Channing Tatum’s Gambit accent, many others have shifted their focus to his exceptional, possibly career-defining portrayal in the movie “Blink Twice”. Interestingly, Zoë Kravitz, his fiancée, took on the director’s role for this film, and critics are going wild over her impressive directorial debut. During my conversations with the cast of “Blink Twice”, they couldn’t stop praising Kravitz as a first-time director. However, one of the most complimentary (and amusing) stories about Kravitz was shared by Tatum himself, who recounted an instance where she improvised his favorite line from the film.
WARNING: there are SPOILERS for Blink Twice ahead.
By the finale of “Blink Twice”, events take an unsettling turn. Actress Naomi Ackie’s character, Frida, uncovers she was drugged to erase her memories of her time with Channing Tatum’s character, Slater King. In a chilling scene that underscores King’s twisted nature, he reveals their friendship to Frida and playfully taps her nose, an act that Tatum found delightfully uncomfortable. Interestingly, Tatum mentioned that this moment called to mind Zoë Kravitz’s request in “Superbad”.
My favorite is the boop. And that was fully Zoë. I would say ‘You’re like my best friend.’ And she goes, ‘Boop her.’ And I was like, ‘Boop her? Boop like Superbad?’ And she’s like, ‘Yeah.’
It’s not surprising that Channing Tatum, who has a history working with Jonah Hill on movies like “21 Jump Street” and “This Is The End” alongside the “Superbad” cast, would instinctively associate Jonah Hill’s actions with Michael Cera when Kravitz delivered this line. This is because “Superbad,” a film often hailed as one of the funniest ever made, not only has a strong comedic connection for Tatum but also has a personal significance due to his relationship with the cast. In fact, Tatum even referenced his famous line from “21 Jump Street” during an eight-minute interview, and the mention of both these films in such a short conversation seems meaningful. If you’re unfamiliar with the “boop” incident, let me remind you: it was a playful gesture Jonah Hill often used on Michael Cera during their interactions.
As a huge admirer myself, I can’t help but join the chorus of praises for Zoë Kravitz. Even my friend, Naomi Ackie, couldn’t resist sharing her appreciation for Kravitz’s captivating approach to filmmaking, particularly its darker aspects.
She’s so sick and twisted, I love it.
Oh boy, what a rollercoaster ride! My review of “Blink Twice” mentioned that its 102-minute runtime feels like a blink of an eye. And let me tell you, with Channing Tatum joining the Marvel universe and all, it seems like he’s having the time of his life this year! Add to that the buzz surrounding Zoë Kravitz’s debut, and these two are truly making their mark as a dynamic duo in Tinseltown.
Right now, you have the chance to catch “Blink Twice” in the cinemas! Excitingly, there are more movies coming up in 2024 that you’ll surely enjoy, so stay tuned with us at TopMob for updates on the hottest new releases.
