A short story Sundance Kid, written by Leyna Krow, 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.
Leyna Krow, is the author of short story collection I’m Fine, but You Appear to Be Sinking, which was a Believer Book Award finalist and her short story “Sinkhole” is set up with Jordan Peele and Issa Rae at Universal. Her debut novel, the Western titled Fire Season, will publish this summer.
Kravitz has already starred in Warners, Catwoman, aka Selina Kyle, opposite Robert Pattinson in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, which has grossed just over $770 million worldwide. She also starred in Steven Soderbergh’s tech thriller Kimi, made for HBO Max. The actress is in her directorial debut with Pussy Island, a thriller that is now in preproduction and will star Channing Tatum and Simon Rex.
Kravitz is repped by CAA, Untitled and attorney Bill Sobel. Krow is represented by WME and and Sarah Bedingfield at Levine Greenberg Rostan Literary Agency.
