Zoë Kravitz is ready to make an impression with her directorial debut, even if audiences may not be thrilled with it.

While discussing her upcoming thriller Blink Twice, which premieres August 23, Kravitz reflected on the film's original title, Pussy Island, and why they ultimately had to come up with a new title.

"It was made very clear to me that 'p—y' is a word that we, as a society, are not ready to embrace," she told Entertainment Weekly. "There were a lot of obstacles along the way, whether it was the MPAA not wanting to put it on a poster, a billboard, a kiosk; theaters not wanting to put it on a ticket."

Kravitz explained that her intention was to "reclaim the word, and not make it something that we're uncomfortable using," but she ultimately found that "women were offended by the word, and women who saw the title said, 'I don't want to see that movie.'"
