Ariana Grande is poised for her highly anticipated big-screen debut in the upcoming musical epic "Wicked: Part 1," a role that has already generated immense buzz for the multi-hyphenate star. While fans eagerly await her performance, many are curious about Grande's next cinematic move. Recent whispers suggested Grande was vying for a role in "The Matrix 5," but Hollywood has reportedly presented her with other intriguing offers as well.
According to a report today from prominent entertainment journalist Daniel Richtman on his Patreon page, Paramount Pictures has extended an offer to Grande for the lead role in the undercover comedy "Reality Vice." Should she accept, Grande would portray an FBI agent who infiltrates a reality television show, posing as a wealthy housewife. The program's premise is said to be akin to "The Real Housewives of New York." This potential role would mark a return to Grande's comedic roots, as she began her career in popular sitcoms.
This project appears to be the same one mentioned in a "Hollywood Reporter" interview last month, which described a film about a female detective wreaking havoc on a "Real Housewives"-style reality show – a strikingly similar premise. Beyond "Reality Vice," "The Hollywood Reporter" also noted other comedy projects seeking Grande's involvement, including a long-gestating sequel to "Spaceballs" and an untitled disaster wedding comedy. At the time of that report, Grande had not yet committed to any of these roles.
