Zoë Kravitz wants you to smoke a joint before seeing “Blink Twice”, and dad Lenny Kravitz approves: 'Save me some'
Lenny Kravitz is excited about his daughter's directorial debut.
Zoë Kravitz wants you to puff twice before seeing Blink Twice. The actress and second-generation celebrity's directorial debut hits theaters this weekend, and she's got some heady advice for prospective viewers who really want to get their minds blown by the twists and turns of this psychological thriller.
"Smoke a J and go watch Blink Twice in theaters Aug. 23!" Kravitz wrote on Instagram, promoting a marijuana brand called Pure Beauty.
Her famous dad, Lenny Kravitz, is ready to be first in line. "Save me some," he commented on her post.
"Pops, I got chu," the younger Kravitz replied. The comments, which are visible on Kravitz's Instagram post, were also highlighted by the Comments by Celebs Instagram account.

Clearly, Kravitz and her dad are close. He split from her mom Lisa Bonet when she was young, and at age 11 the young Kravitz moved to Miami to live with her rockstar dad.

Blink Twice stars Kravitz's real-life fiancé Channing Tatum as Slater King, a billionaire tech mogul who owns a private island. As seen in the clip above, there's plenty of glitz and glamor involved. It all seems like fun and games to cocktail waitress Frida (Naomi Ackie) until her friend Jess (Alia Shawkat) goes missing and none of the other vacationers seem to care.
Kravitz originally wanted to title the film Pussy Island, but ultimately changed it not so much because of pressure from the studio, but from negative polling results from prospective female viewers (a.k.a. the exact audience the film is chasing).

"Interestingly enough, after researching it, women were offended by the word, and women seeing the title were saying, 'I don't want to see that movie,'" Kravitz told Entertainment Weekly earlier this year. She wanted to "reclaim" the word and make people more comfortable using it, "but we're not there yet."
In addition to directing, Kravitz also wrote Blink Twice alongside E.T. Feigenbaum. They started the process in 2017, and Kravitz tells EW that she had to direct the film herself because "by the time we were really talking about actually making the film, I could see this world and these characters so clearly in my mind and I didn't feel like I would be able to handle trusting somebody else to bring this to life."
Blink Twice hits theaters on Aug. 23. Now you know what to do to see it the way its director intended.
