Zoë Kravitz & Robert Pattinson: their new secret project is causing a stir in Hollywood
The Zoë Kravitz – Robert Pattinson duo is back together, but this time away from the cameras. Their next joint project, How to Save a Marriage, is already attracting a lot of attention, although no images have yet been released.
A second production awaits
After the critical success of Blink Twice in the summer of 2024, Zoë Kravitz seems determined to make her mark behind the camera. Her bold visual style, piquant writing and precise directing have made her a new voice to watch in contemporary cinema.
So it’s no surprise that Sony Pictures has chosen her to direct this new feature film with the evocative title, How to Save a Marriage. The script, by Ross Evans, is still under wraps. No official synopsis has yet been released. But one thing’s for sure: the tone should remain biting and edgy, in the tradition of the psychological thriller that revealed Kravitz as a director.
Robert Pattinson in production, but not on screen
Another highlight of the project: Robert Pattinson, with whom Kravitz co-starred in The Batman in 2022, is involved this time as producer. His company Icki Eneo Arlo, co-founded with Brighton McCloskey, is piloting the project alongside Entertainment 360.
For the moment, neither Kravitz nor Pattinson have been announced as cast members. A surprising choice that underlines their desire to remain at the helm, without exposing themselves to the limelight. A rarity in Hollywood, where stars often struggle to let go of the screen.
A project born in a tense context
Sony’s interest in this scenario is not insignificant. In a post-strike context(WGA and SAG-AFTRA), studios are looking for strong projects with identifiable authors. Kravitz’s name is now seen as a guarantee of singularity.
At the same time, the actress will be continuing her career in front of the camera, alongsideAustin Butler, in Caught Stealing, Darren Aronofsky’s next thriller, scheduled for release this autumn.
