Kim Kardashian turned down Megan's request for a role in the upcoming movie "Big Little Lies Gongo," but she's not slowing down in her pursuit of acting opportunities.
While many wondered why Megan was cozying up to Kim Kardashian shortly after her debut in "American Horror Story: Delicate," it seems the Kardashian star has landed a lead role in a new suspenseful film. E! News confirms Kardashian's involvement in an upcoming thriller penned by screenwriter Natalie Krinsky ("The Broken Hearts Gallery," "Gossip Girl") and produced by Bruna Papandrea ("Big Little Lies") for Amazon MGM Studios.
Krinsky is crafting a script based on an original concept, collaboratively developed with Kardashian, who is set to take the lead role. Although details about the plot, title, and other cast members remain under wraps, Kardashian's foray into acting is gaining attention. Her previous stint on "American Horror Story: Delicate" in 2023, where she portrayed entertainment publicist Shor opposite actress Anna Victoria Alcott, garnered positive reviews. Fans were pleasantly surprised by her fierce performance, prompting speculation about her next move.
The 42-year-old reality TV mogul revealed her dedication to acting, admitting to taking lessons to prepare for her upcoming role. "It's a challenge," Kardashian told Variety in May. "I like to challenge myself." She expressed excitement about stepping out of her comfort zone and embracing new experiences. Kardashian's commitment to growth and exploration fuels her enthusiasm for this new venture.
Additionally, Kardashian recently signed a contract to produce and act in a new project, sparking rumors about Megan's attempts to secure a role in upcoming films. However, sources suggest that Kardashian retains control over the projects she participates in, ensuring alignment with her vision and brand. Behind the scenes, tensions between Kardashian and Megan simmer, reflecting differences in work ethic and approach to fame.
While Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, prioritize protecting their brand and maintaining loyalty within their inner circle, Megan's outspoken nature and divergent values keep her at a distance. Despite Megan's aspirations to mingle with Hollywood elite, she remains outside Kardashian's sphere of influence. Jenner's strategic prowess and the Kardashian family's unified front reinforce their position in the entertainment industry, setting them apart from those who fail to uphold their standards of professionalism and discretion.
