Kim Kardashian is continuing her burgeoning acting and producing career, landing a new project that ended up at MGM after a heated bidding war.
The 43-year-old reality star – who has ‘no marriage plans’ amid her new romance with Odell Beckham Jr. – will star in and produce a new untitled thriller.
The project was written by Natalie Krinsky (The Broken Hearts Gallery) and will be produced by Bruna Papandrea through her Made Up Stories company.
The film sparked an intense bidding war that Amazon’s MGM Studios ultimately prevailed, with four other studios in the mix too, via Deadline.
Sources claim that it’s still possible the film could get a theatrical release through MGM, or a streaming-only release through Amazon’s Prime Video.
