Kim Kardashian just landed yet another role in acting and this time it's in comedy.

The 5th Wheel team cast her in the movie, but, better yet, she's even producing the film. The movie is a "female-driven comedy" written by Paula Pell and Janine Brito. Reportedly, Kim has been in the meetings alongside executives, taking a hands-on approach.

While Kim is known better for her extravagant reality TV life, she is no longer a stranger to the acting world. She made her biggest splash in the acting world with her American Horror Story role and previously did voice acting for two Pawl Patrol animated movies.

While she's been venturing into the acting world in a more serious way the last few years, Kim actually made her on-screen debut in 2008 with the film Disaster Movie. In 2013, she appeared in Temptation: Confession of a Marriage Counselor and Deep in the Valley.

When the world found out that Kim would be in American Horror Story, fans were a bit uncertain about if this was the job for her. "It’s really fun to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new and grow," she told Variety at the time. Kim stressed that she enjoyed a new challenge and was looking forward to that aspect of it.

Kim previously received some harsh criticism for her AHS role. Luckily, actress Salma Hayek gave her some sage advice in dealing with it. Kim explained in a confessional on her show:“I said to her, like, ‘Oh my god. What did I get myself into? I feel bad.’ And she’s like, ‘Do not feel bad. Maybe this whole road has led you here because you are supposed to be an actress and this is your real career. And I’m like, ‘You are right, Salma Hayek.’ And then I was like, ‘Can we play sisters in something? Because you are my idol.'”

Luckily, after the episodes actually came out, a lot of fans reconsidered their position. One said: "I'm actually so surprised by how well Kim Kardashian acts in AHS."

Another fan pointed out the way AHS helps elevate stars' careers. They wrote: "AHS launching Lady Gaga and now Kim Kardashian as actresses is just crazy."
