Reality TV star Kim Kardashian is to make the transition to the big screen after landing her first movie role.

The 27-year-old - who stars in her family’s reality TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians - is now set to carve out a career as an actress after signing on to a new comedy film.

The picture is rumoured to be a spoof in the same vein as the Scary Movie franchise.

And Kardashian is delighted by her new challenge.

She tells E! News, "I have accepted a part in a major studio film. It’s a comedy. It’s starting the first week in May and it’s filming in Louisiana. I can’t wait."
