Kanye West is reportedly giving Kim Kardashian a "pivotal" role in his movie.
The rapper is working on a script with American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis, who also penned Lindsay Lohan's film The Canyons.
West has reportedly decided it will be the perfect way to launch his fiancee Kim's big screen career.
"It's going to be based on the Yeezus album. That's pretty much a narrative of Kanye's life," an insider told RadarOnline.com.
"(Kanye) will not appear in the movie (but) Kim is definitely going to be in it. The screenplay already features her character.
"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."
It won't be her first film credit, she appeared in last year's release Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counsellor and in 2008's Disaster Movie.
West is reportedly planning to direct the release and wants to have a hand in all areas of production.
The rapper's late mother Donda will also get a mention as the movie will be in memory of her. She died in 2007 after suffering complications following cosmetic surgery.
At the moment there has been no official confirmation about the film's storyline or when it'll hit screens.
Easton Ellis admits he initially had doubts before warming to the star.
"He came and asked me to write the film. I didn't want to at first," he explained to Vice.
"Then I listened to Yeezus ... He'd given me an advance copy, and I thought, regardless of whether I'm right for this project, I want to work with whoever made this.
"So... I said yes. And that's how it happened. That was seven or eight months ago. We'll see what happens. (We're) in Kanye land, and that's subject to a whole other time frame."
