If you’ve always wanted to welcome Kim Kardashian (All’s Fair, The Kardashians) into your circle of friends, you’re in luck. The multihyphenate will lead and produce The Fifth Wheel, an upcoming ensemble comedy that follows one disastrous group trip to Las Vegas. Directed by Eva Longoria (Flamin’ Hot), the film is written by Paula Pell (Saturday Night Live, Sisters, Girls5eva) and Janine Brito (Mr. Mayor, Bless the Harts). Join in on the fun with photos shared from the set in Los Angeles, where the film has officially started production.
