Jennifer Lawrence Teases New Details About The Script She's Writing With Amy Schumer
I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that if Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer finish the screenplay they've been working on together and both co-star in an eventual movie as planned, that movie is going to be awesome. Schumer is absolutely hilarious, and Lawrence, despite her A-list status, has the kind of self-deprecating personality that could be used wonderfully in a straight-up comedy (she's never starred in a comedy before).
Schumer recently told Access Hollywood that the most recent draft of their work-in-progress script was, "funny, it’s dirty, it’s real. It’s like us," and now Lawrence — in the midst of her press tour to promote the final Hunger Games movie — has offered up a few more scant details about it to ET:
“Yep! It’s is all of those things,” she said, confirming Schumer's description of the tone of the picture in which they'll play sisters. “Amy, in this movie, she has it very together. It's her lifelong dream to be a flight attendant. She works at the airport. And I'm a mess.”
“We both have very similar senses of humor, obviously and aren't afraid, which is a good and bad thing, because I don't know what our movie will be rated," she said. "And we're both very blunt. So we've gotten through a really strenuous process without ever fighting, because we're both very straightforward.”
She also mentioned to Extra that "there's not really a lot of boys in the story. It's mainly just me and Amy," so there's yet another interesting look into their creative process.
I have very high hopes for this one, and it'll be cool to see them playing against type. I'm interested to see who comes on board to direct this, as well: could Schumer get behind the camera and do it herself? How cool would that be?
