The flick, which starts filming next week in Atlanta, is adapted from Perry's play by the same name and depicts a newlywed marriage counselor, Judith (played by actress Jurnee Smollett), who's great at her job but struggles in her own marriage.

The 30-year-old "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star will play the role of Ava, Judith's co-worker, who helps her friend gain new confidence with a big city makeover among other things.

Although this isn't Kardashian's first big-screen gig, (she was also in "Disaster Movie" and "Deep in the Valley"), "The Marriage Counselor" is probably the most fitting, since she's a newlywed herself. (She tied the knot with NBA star Kris Humphries Aug. 20).
