“I felt like there are so many things that women have to do or are expected to do that have become so normalised that we don’t even speak about them. And so I really wanted to find a way to explore the complexity and the absurdity of that,” Kravitz said.
Kravitz and Tatum, who got engaged last year, were brought together by the film. Tatum had not met Kravitz when she offered him the role of Slater.
“This movie has changed my complete and utter whole life,” said Tatum, who also produced the film, adding that the role was unlike anything he has tackled over his almost two-decade-long career.
“Usually I’ve always had some sort of connection, I bring some sort of a personal aspect of my life into whatever character I’m playing. This movie is just not that movie. It is the first thing that I’ve ever done that is just so far away from me or from really anybody that I even know,” he said.
The film’s ensemble cast also includes actors Adria Arjona, Christian Slater, Geena Davis, Kyle MacLachlan and Haley Joel Osment.
‘Blink Twice’ is out in cinemas globally from Aug. 21.
