“In Pussy Island, Frida is a young, clever, Los Angeles cocktail waitress who has her eyes set on the prize: philanthropist and tech mogul Slater King (Tatum),” reads the synopsis. “When she skillfully maneuvers her way into King’s inner circle and ultimately an intimate gathering on his private island, she is ready for a journey of a lifetime. Despite the epic setting, beautiful people, ever-flowing champagne, and late-night dance parties, Frida can sense that there’s more to this island than meets the eye. Something she can’t quite put her finger on. Something that is a bit terrifying.”
The film is being directed by Zoe Kravitz from a screenplay she co-wrote with E.T. Feigenbaum (High Fidelity). Kravitz most recently starred as the new Catwoman/ Selina Kyle in Matt Reeves’ blockbuster hit The Batman.
