Zoë Kravitz Renames Directorial Debut Amid Title Controversy

Zoë Kravitz is taking on a new role- she’s making her directorial debut with a thriller! Zoë is well known for her acting, but now she’s stepping behind the camera. The movie was originally called “Pussy Island” but getting it made wasn’t easy for Zoë due to the, um, attention-grabbing title.
In a real talk interview with Entertainment Weekly, Zoë opened up about the challenges. She said people just aren’t comfortable with the word “pussy” yet. The film groups that rate movies and the theaters showing it both had issues. Zoë even said some women told her they wouldn’t want to see a movie called that!
As a first-time director, Zoë had to listen to what audiences thought. “I want people to actually see the movie,” she said. “And I want them to feel okay watching it.” So in the end, she decided to change the name.
