Zoë Kravitz Set For Dark Comedy ‘Biter’ Based On Short Story By ‘Cat Person’s Kristen Roupenian
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Zoë Kravitz (The Batman) has signed on to star in Biter, a new dark comedy based on the short story by Cat Person‘s Kristen Roupenian.
Kravitz will also produce via her company This Is Important, with Paperclip Ltd and Winterlight Pictures co-producing. Part of Roupenian’s debut short story collection You Know You Want This published in 2019, which Winterlight brought to Kravitz and Paperclip, “Biter” tells the story of a young woman who fantasizes about biting one of her co-workers.
Kravitz comes to the project after wrapping production on her directorial debut Pussy Island — a thriller she co-wrote starring Naomi Ackie and Channing Tatum, which was acquired by MGM in a highly competitive situation.
The project also builds momentum for Roupenian, who saw a Susanna Fogel-directed adaptation of her viral New Yorker short story Cat Person premiere to much buzz and discussion at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
