Ryan Murphy recruited A-list cast members of American horror story and more to tell his Architectural summary debut.
The tour of Murphy's, 58, Bel Air home was shared by Architectural summary on Tuesday, February 13. The tour, titled 'So Many Beautiful Things in the World', is narrated (in order of appearance) by Demi Moore, Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett, Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Neicy Nash-Betts, Chloe Sevigny And Diane Lane. These actors have appeared in projects such as American horror storyNetflixs Dahmer: Monster – The Jeffrey Dahmer Story And Feud: Capote vs. the Swans.
Kardashian shared the video through her Instagram on Sunday, February 18. “I love architecture and furniture, so I am asked to help give a tour of the house Architectural summary because Ryan Murphy's house was such an honor,” she wrote in the caption.
She continued, “This month's ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST features Ryan Murphy's reimagining of a Richard Neutra home in Bel Air. […] watch the mini movie with me and so many other amazing and talented RMTV staff/swans.”
According to the story, Murphy's Bel Air residence is a “reinterpretation of a Richard Neutra house,” from the designs of Austrian-American architect Richard Neutra, a modernist whose notable works include the Kaufmann Desert House in Palm Springs.
“Ryan Murphy's 25-year career in Hollywood has been built around two fundamental principles: a commitment to beauty and a belief in conflict, combining things, people and ideas that shouldn't go together and yet, when the alchemy is right, magically wise,” Moore says in her voiceover as the video begins at the end of a long, winding driveway.
The house, designed by Neutra in 1955, is described as “a reinvention of what mid-century design could be today.” Murphy worked with designer Trevor Cheney to bring the design to life.
“I've discovered that the only thing that really interests me is a space where things are in conflict,” Murphy said of the house, per Architectural summary. “The same goes for storytelling. A real design conversation begins to unfold when things that shouldn't go together for whatever outdated reasons begin to suggest unexpected affinities and surprising similarities.”
As for Kim K, the reality star made her AHS debut as publicist Siobhan Corbyn in the 12th season of FX's subtitled horror anthology series Delicate. Premiering in September 2023, American horror story: delicate will be split into two parts, with Part two will be released on April 3, 2024.
“I mean, she's great. She is a professional.” AHS franchise star emma roberts said about kardashian, her Delicate costar, in January Additional interview. “She's one of the most prepared people I've ever worked with, and she's just relaxed. I love her so much.”
In a December 2023 interview with Grazia VSRoberts called Murphy a “genius” for casting Kardashian last season. She praised his ability to “[see] things in people that they don't necessarily see in themselves and putting them in roles that no one else would put them in.”
She added, “He did that for me, and he did that in such a smart way for Kim this season.”
In April 2023, it was announced that Kardashian had been added to the cast AHS Season 12. At the time, a source exclusively shared We weekly that the Kardashians star was “nervous” and “excited” for her role in the series.
“It's truly an honor, especially since she's working with some of the most talented people in one of the most iconic franchises,” the source said. “She was a little nervous about taking on such an important project, [but] she knew it was something she couldn't pass up.
