Zoë Kravitz is teaming up with Warner Bros. once again as the studio has won a bidding war to adapt Leyna Krow’s short story The Sundance Kid Might Have Some Regrets. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kravitz will star in and produce the film about a pair of bank-robbing twins – one with supernatural powers and one without.
The Sundance Kid Might Have Some Regrets is “described as a redefining of the heist genre with a story centered on bank-robbing twins — one with supernatural powers and one without. One twin is named Maggie, who is the brains and the brawn with her telekinesis, super-strength, language fluency, invincibility and more, while the narrator is the self-appointed face of the operation. This twin will follow Maggie every step of the way, but when their newest venture goes awry, she begins to have a second thoughts about the life they lead, especially when the gunfire starts to hail on her and her impenetrable sister.”
Kravitz will produce alongside All The Old Knives‘ Matt Jackson through his company Jackson Pictures with Joanne Lee onboard as an executive producer. A writer and director for the adaptation is now underway.
This is not the only adaptation of Krow’s work that is in development. Her short story Sinkhole is being developed by Universal with Jordan Peele and Issa Rae attached. Her first full novel Fire Season is also set to debut this summer.
Kravitz was most recently seen in WB’s The Batman as Selina Kyle/Catwoman and is expected to return for the recently-announced sequel.
