Los Angeles, April 1 – Hollywood actress Eva Longoria has vowed that her upcoming film, "The Fifth Wheel," will be "unapologetically R-rated."
The 51-year-old star is directing the upcoming comedy, which stars her friend Kim Kardashian in the lead role, and says that working on the Netflix picture was her "dream job," according to ‘Female First UK’.
Eva told ‘People’ magazine, "It's so much fun. We just finished filming after three months. We ended up in Las Vegas. It was a dream job. First of all, it's a big, unapologetically R-rated female comedy that feels modern and contemporary.”
"The Fifth Wheel" features Nikki Glaser, Brenda Song, and Fortune Feimster as high school friends who "attempt to reconnect during a weekend trip to Las Vegas."
According to the synopsis, "When a glamorous newcomer (Kardashian) crashes the weekend, they are forced to confront their messy lives, bad decisions, and unraveling friendships.”
Eva described Kardashian as "the anchor of the movie," which also stars Jack Whitehall and Will Ferrell, as the reality star serves as a producer on the film.
The ‘Desperate Housewives’ star said, "Kim is the anchor of the movie. We just had a blast. Kim and I have been friends for 25 years, and when I got the job, she said, 'Oh, thank God Eva knows I'm funny.’ And she is, she's so funny. I can't wait for the world to see how great she is in this movie, and hopefully, it will spark more female comedies.”
According to ‘Female First UK’, Longoria explained that the making of “The Fifth Wheel” was a joyful experience.
She recalled some of her favorite moments on set: "Just sitting and chatting with Kim and everyone. Nikki is so insightful. She is incredibly wise and insightful, and I loved just talking with her. Fortune is just a joy to be around. Every day, we were laughing non-stop.”
Eva said, "It was also really special because we had female writers, producers, cast, and a female director. That's not common, and you could feel it. The set felt different because of it.”
The actress recently revealed that she has always been convinced that she would become successful, and that the women in her life have played a major role in her achievements.
