Zoë Kravitz Preps Bold New Directorial Project “How to Save a Marriage”
Pour me another triple-shot americano, because Zoë Kravitz is swapping her “Blink Twice” thriller vibes for a fresh new directing gig titled How to Save a Marriage—and I have ALL the deets! After helming her first feature, the twisty island-set Blink Twice (which saw her ex-fiancé Channing Tatum rubbing elbows with Naomi Ackie, Christian Slater, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Kyle MacLachlan, Geena Davis, and a menacing billionaire tech mogul), the 36-year-old multifaceted star has officially entered early talks with Sony Pictures to lead this saucy relationship drama.
Deadline first spilled the tea on Kravitz’s next move, revealing that her The Batman co-star Robert Pattinson will slide in as a producer through his Icki Eneo Arlo banner alongside partner Brighton McCloskey—though Rob will stay firmly behind the camera this time. Entertainment 360’s Geoff Shaevitz and Evan Silverberg are also on board to produce, so you know the production is locked and loaded with heavyweight talent.
Flashback: when Zoë debuted as a director on Blink Twice, she confessed to PEOPLE that self-doubt crept in almost immediately. “After the first day of filming, I was just like, ‘Oh, my God. I don’t know what I’ve gotten myself into,’” she admitted, describing a grueling edit process that tested her patience. But the High Fidelity alum knew the story so intimately—having written it from the ground up—that ceding control felt impossible. In her ScreenRant interview, she put it plainly: “It would be really painful if someone else took it and did something else with it. So I thought, ‘If not now, when?’”
Here’s the part that makes me jittery with excitement: How to Save a Marriage is rumored to dive deep into modern matrimony’s minefields, and with Kravitz at the helm, you can bet on a stylish, character-driven roller coaster. Sony’s got the cash, Robert’s lending star power behind the scenes, and Zoë’s directorial confidence is riding high after Blink Twice’s festival buzz.
On a personal note, sources close to Kravitz told PEOPLE that her breakup with Tatum last October was totally amicable—both realized they’re simply at different life stages, no messy headlines required. Now she’s channeling that energy into crafting narratives that marry suspense with emotional truth.
So, what’s next? Will Zoë snag A-list actors for her marriage-saving blockbuster? What eye-popping twists will she conjure behind the camera? Keep your coffee cups full, because this is one project you won’t want to miss. I swear, I could caffeinate myself talking about this forever!
