Reality TV star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian is expanding her entertainment portfolio yet again, this time venturing into the world of cinema thrillers. As reported by Deadline, Kardashian is set to star in and produce an untitled thriller film for Amazon’s MGM Studios.
While details surrounding the film remain shrouded in secrecy, including the plot and title, it’s known that the project was “developed specifically for Kardashian,” according to sources close to Deadline. This marks a significant departure from Kardashian’s previous acting roles, primarily cameos, on shows such as Entourage and How I Met Your Mother — and, of course, starring in her family’s reality show.
However, she recently showcased her dramatic chops in the tenth season of FX’s American Horror Story: Delicate.
The untitled thriller will be written by Natalie Krinsky, known for her work on *iconic* (cue Kim K’s iconic sh*t commentary and wink) shows like Gossip Girl and Grey’s Anatomy. Krinsky will also serve as a producer alongside Kardashian and Bruna Papandrea of Made Up Stories. Interestingly, this isn’t Kardashian’s first foray into producing. She is currently noted as a producer for the upcoming Netflix comedy film The Fifth Wheel, in which she will also portray the lead character.
The news of Kardashian’s involvement in the Amazon thriller has sparked a range of reactions from fans and industry insiders. Some expressed excitement at seeing the reality star take on a challenging new role, while others questioned her acting abilities. Regardless of individual opinions, this project undoubtedly marks a pivotal moment in Kardashian’s career, signifying her ambition to notably transition from reality TV into the realm of larger-scale cinematic productions.
It’s important to note that the film is still in its early stages of development, with a release date yet to be announced. Whether it receives a theatrical release or premieres directly on Amazon Prime Video remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Kim Kardashian’s foray into the world of thrillers is sure to garner significant attention and spark further conversation about her evolving career in the entertainment industry — and we’re among the crowd waiting to see her on the big screen!
