Amy Schumer Will Co-Write and Star in a New Mother-Daughter Comedy For 20th Century Fox

If you aren't familiar with Amy Schumer, that's probably going to change when her new movie Trainwreck comes out later this summer. The Judd Apatow-directed comedy was written by and stars Schumer, and now the comedian has lined up another big screen gig in addition to her work headlining her Comedy Central series (Inside Amy Schumer).

THR brings the news that along with her sister, Kim Caramele, Schumer will co-write a new mother-daughter comedy for 20th Century Fox. Paul Feig, the director of The Heat, Bridesmaids, and the upcoming film Spy (which looks pretty solid), is on board as a producer. Details are scant at the moment, but it's supposedly an action comedy that features a mother and daughter "trapped in a vacation gone wrong." The script was originally written by Katie Dippold, a writer for Parks and Rec who broke out with The Heat and is co-writing Feig's new all-female Ghostbusters movie. She'll still executive produce this untitled film, but Schumer and Caramele are rewriting it to "put the main character in Schumer’s voice."

The whole "vacation gone wrong" element doesn't really sound promising since I feel like we've seen that plotline a lot lately, but everything else, including all of the people involved with this, sounds like it could be a winner. I've just started catching up with Inside Amy Schumer, and I'd recommend you do the same because she's hilarious.
