Zo Kravitz is opening up about why her goal to reclaim the word pussy with her latest project didnt go over so well.
While speaking with Entertainment Weekly , the Batman star, 35, reflected on her directorial debut with the upcoming thriller, Blink Twice, and explained why she had to nix its original title, Pussy Island.
It was made very clear to me that pussy is a word that we, our society, are not ready to embrace yet, she said in the July 9 interview. There were a lot of roadblocks along the way, whether it be the MPAA not wanting to put it on a poster, or a billboard, or a kiosk; movie theaters not wanting to put it on a ticket.
Kravitz said she ultimately had to change the title after discovering some women the films target audience were put off by the term.
Women seeing the title were saying, I dont want to see that movie, which is part of the reason I wanted to try and use the word, which is trying to reclaim the word, and not make it something that were so uncomfortable using, Kravitz explained.
