Zoe Kravitz is expanding her creative footprint behind the camera, and she’s bringing Robert Pattinson along for the ride.
Kravitz is in early talks to direct How to Save a Marriage, her second feature as a filmmaker following her debut, Blink Twice. The Sony Pictures movie will be produced by Pattinson through his Icki Eneo Arlo production banner. Kravitz and Pattinson previously costarred together in The Batman.
The 36-year-old actress makes her directorial debut with Blink Twice, a psychological thriller starring Naomi Ackie and Channing Tatum. The formerly titled Pussy Island bowed on the festival circuit to mixed but curious buzz, slotting Kravitz as bold and genre-savvy.
The fact that Sony is backing her second directorial effort suggests a growing confidence in Kravitz’s abilities behind the lens. Details of the plot for How to Save a Marriage remain under wraps, but confirmation has come that the script is from screenwriter Ross Evans, who will also executive produce.
Of note, this also represents the first outing for Pattinson as producer, as well as actor. His Icki Eneo Arlo label, set up with producing partner Brighton McCloskey, has been building a presence in Hollywood. They are producing the film with Entertainment 360’s Geoff Shaevitz and Evan Silverberg.
At 38, Pattinson has kept busy with acting and producing, including the forthcoming Mickey 17 and The Batman: Part II. During a recent Hero magazine interview, Pattinson indeed discussed the three-year wait between Batman films with a bit of humor and trepidation.
“I started out as young Batman and I’m going to be old Batman by the sequel,” he said. “I’m 38, I’m old. I’m old, but I’m healthier. I think I actually brought my biological age down a bit.”
While The Batman: Part II is still in development but now delayed until 2027, this new development confirms to fans of Kravitz and Pattinson that a reunion of the two in the not-so-distant future is indeed a sure thing. The first Batman movie received excellent reviews and did extremely well at the box office upon its release in 2022, grossing more than $770 million worldwide. Kravitz’s Catwoman and Pattinson’s Batman were particularly praised for their individual performances and for how well the two of them worked with each other.
The next DC sequel will most probably star the returning cast, including Colin Farrell as Penguin, Andy Serkis as Alfred, and Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, while Matt Reeves will once again take over the directing chair.
The collaboration of Zoe Kravitz with Robert Pattinson speaks to a number of key trends in Hollywood:
- An increasing focus on actor-director hybrids, especially women behind the camera.
- A renewed interest in actor-driven production companies shaping big studio projects.
- Long-form collaborations extending beyond franchises perhaps hint at deeper creative partnerships.
With no word on production timelines and The Batman: Part II being pushed back to 2027, there is every chance How to Save a Marriage might make it to theaters sooner depending on development and casting.
Between high-profile names and the attached creative team, interest in the film is already high across both indie and mainstream circles. No official release date or further casting has been announced.
