World-famous pop star and actress Selena Gomez is preparing to undertake the boldest project of her career. It has been revealed that Gomez will take the lead role in a new adult-themed film lasting four hours, and it is stated that she now wants to be recognized as a "serious actress" in the industry and win awards.
Selena Gomez, who began her career as a Disney-born child star and later transformed into a global pop icon, has made a revolutionary decision that stunned her fans. It has been confirmed that Gomez will star in the 4-hour adult-themed production titled "The Origin of the World," directed by award-winning filmmaker Brady Corbet, and with this move, she aims to reshuffle the cards in Hollywood.
WILL HAVE A "BOOGIE NIGHTS" VIBE
According to information leaked from cinema circles, this highly anticipated epic production is said to have a cinematic vibe similar to the 1997 cult film Boogie Nights. Following the news of the project, sources close to Gomez, speaking to the British Daily Mail, stated that this bold choice is actually a long-planned and expected step.
"LEFT HER DISNEY PAST FAR BEHIND"
A close source, recalling that the famous star has taken similar risks in the past, made the following assessment: "People forget that Selena acted in the film Spring Breakers. The nudity, drug themes, and the character she portrayed in that film were completely different from her Barney and Disney past. As she got older, she started taking on challenging roles. At the same time, it also allowed her to grow in the industry."
GOAL: WINNING SERIOUS ROLES AND AWARDS
Emphasizing that Gomez no longer wants to remain just a pop star or a standard romantic comedy actress, the source summarized the famous name's career strategy with these words: "Selena wants to win awards and be recognized as a serious actress. Most of her previous roles were quite standard. She sees taking on sharper and bolder projects as a way to extend her career."
It is already a matter of great curiosity how this ambitious, 4-hour adult-themed film project, which opens a completely new chapter in her career, will resonate in the cinema world and whether it will bring Selena Gomez the prestigious awards she aims for.
