The film, from Amazon MGM Studios, was previously called P***y Island but was changed to Blink Twice.
Also starring in the film is Haley Joel Osment, Adria Arjona, Kyle MacLachlan, Simon Rex, Geena Davis, Christian Slater and Liz Caribel.
Blink Twice is set to arrive in theaters on August 23.
The trailer stars off with Channing’s character Slater bloodied as he sits in a candlelight room, ominously saying: ‘So… everybody’s dead.’
Before revealing more context, the trailer then shows his villa on his island up in flames, with Slate saying in voiceover: ‘How about we start at the beginning?’ as the house is back to its glorious state and no fires seen.
Slater meets Jess and Frida and ask them to come with him to his private island, which they agree to and go via his private jet – as he wines and dines them.
Jess and Frida meet all his friends: his childhood friend Cody, Vic, his left and right hand man, Tom, Sarah, the resident ‘wonder boy,’ Heather, Camila.
‘Did we just jet off to a billionaire’s island with a bunch of strangers?’ Jess says, to which Frida answers ‘No, he’s not a stranger. He’s Slater King.’

Frida looked shocked as she arrived to the private island
‘Everybody say, “Making memories!”‘ Vic says, as he take a group photo of them while posing on the steps of the villa in their formals wear.
Frida and Jess are seen enjoying champagne by the luxury pool as they eat five course meals.
Jess jokes that its too good to be true and says: ‘So do you think the human sacrifice is before or after dinner?’
‘The legendary parties of Slater King is not what I thought it was gonna be,’ Frida says as the group enjoy a bonfire together.
It appears that things were beginning to change, with Slater telling Frida: ‘We still have fun. It’s just a little different now.’
Frida asks: ‘What do you mean?’ as Geena Davis’ character is seen collecting everyone’s phones.
Jess says shocked, ‘Wait for real?’
‘You don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to do,’ Slater ominously says when Frida and Jess look worried, before they appear to put their phones in the bag held by Geena.
Sarah tells them: ‘I’m having a great time here. But I also have this feeling I’m like feeling I’m not.’
Cody then says his knife is missing and wonder boy has a black eye that he at first didn’t realize before remembering soon after.

Vic says: ‘There is something weird going on here’ before a woman is seen holding a dead snake in her hands with blood dripping down it – as she gives a big smile.
Jess is heard saying: ‘Everybody’s smiling and laughing like 1960s flight attendants. Like are you having a good time and I’m like I’m having a great time’ as Frida and Slater grin at each other in the pool.
It becomes dark and Jess says fearfully, ‘Can’t you feel it? There’s something wrong with this place’ as she turns around when she hears a branch crack.
Slater takes a photo on a Polaroid camera and the ladies then are seen enjoying a facial and pedicure.
Frida realizes that Jess isn’t amongst the woman, and asks them where she is, to which one of the asks: ‘Who is Jess?’
Frida says ‘My friend that was in the room next to mine.’
She runs to the bathroom crying and starts telling herself to wake up and hits herself on the head and then slams the mirror, of which the knife Vic was looking for falls from behind it and she grabs it.
‘I feel like we’re forgetting like a lot of stuff,’ Frida says fearfully before she is seen looking at all the Polaroids.
Sarah asks her: ‘Yeah, but like how? Something is making us forget.’
Sarah is then seen wielding the knife and demanding what is going on, before the villa is seen up in flames.

A montage of a gun wielding Sarah, someone wiping blood off a blade, wonder boy screaming and Slater bloodied and looking in disbelief.
Two women (with their identities hidden) have bloodied dresses on and are carrying a knife and gun.
The trailer ends with Frida telling Kyle’s character (in front of Slater) ‘Blink twice if I’m in danger,’ to which he quickly blinks twice and Slater tries to cover his eyes up – which Frida thinks is a joke, but he seems serious.
‘Well maybe lets not answer that one, right?’ Slater says ominously.
Blink Twice is Zoe’s directorial debut; she also penned the script with E.T. Feigenbaum.
