Kim Kardashian to Star in Movie About Kanye West's Life? Reality Star Takes on 'Dramatic' Role
Kim Kardashian will reportedly star in an upcoming biopic written and produced by her fiance Kanye West.
The reality TV star, 33, will take on a "dramatic" role in the film about West's life. The rapper, 36, has reportedly teamed up with "American Psycho" author Bret Easton Ellis and he is still in the process of perfecting the feature film script.
"It's going to be based on the "Yeezus" album ... That's pretty much a narrative of Kanye's life," a source told RadarOnline.com.

"Kim is definitely going to be in it. The screenplay already features her character ... Her role is going to be very dramatic ... Far from the bubbly happy persona that she's always played," the source revealed adding that West "will not appear in the movie."
The Hollywood power couple have both dabbled in acting in the past. Kardashian previously appeared in "Disaster Movie" and Tyler Perry's "Temptation," while West had cameos in "Anchorman 2" among other productions.
"They're still working on the script, so it's unclear at this point if Kim will be a major star of the movie or making a smaller cameo but her role in the movie will be pivotal," the insider said. "It's going to be dedicated to Kanye's mother (Dr. Donda West)."
It is unclear when exactly the film will be released, but Ellis appeared to confirm that a project is in the works.
"It's Kanye Land, and that's subject to a whole other time frame," Easton Ellis reportedly told Vice.
The report comes just one week after insiders claimed the self-described visionary is now in full control of Kardashian's career. The E! star has dabbled in acting, singing, fashion and modeling in addition to reality TV and West is determined to boost her career despite her already being managed by her mother Kris Jenner.
"His goal is to get people to respect Kim and take her seriously ... it's basically the same kind of thing he did when he was launching his rap career after being known primarily as a producer," another source explained.
Kardashian and West, who share a seven-month-old daughter North West, are set to wed in Paris this summer.
