Selena Gomez Lands Role in 4-Hour X-Rated Film

 is making one of her boldest career pivots yet, with a provocative new film that's a far cry from her Disney Channel days.

The 33-year-old former Wizards of Waverly Place star is said to be attached to director Brady Corbet's next project - an ambitious X-rated feature, according to Variety.

Corbet, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind The Brutalist, is reportedly assembling an A-list cast, with and also linked to the film.

Blanchett herself recently dropped a major hint at , saying she is 'about to work with Brady Corbet on a film,' while Fassbender’s involvement was revealed just days earlier, per the outlet.

The project, rumored to be titled The Origin of the World, is said to unfold largely in the 1970s, with Corbet previously teasing its 'X-rated content' in a 2025 interview.

He also hinted the film could stretch to around four hours, revealing at the Storyhouse Screenwriting Festival in Dublin that the script runs to roughly 200 pages.

For context, Corbet's The Brutalist already raised eyebrows with a 165-page script and a sprawling three-and-a-half-hour runtime - but this new project looks set to push things even further.

'The film spans from the 19th century into the present day - it’s just predominantly focused on the ’70s. The film is really, really genre-defying,' Corbett said in 2025, per Variety.
