Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence intend to on a project for the big | |
screen, but it may not be the comedic content that you’d expect to | |
see from the notoriously hilarious actors and real-life best friends. | |
“The way we’re hoping our careers go, we might do something with | |
more grit and teeth,” Schumer told Variety in an published on | |
Tuesday, referencing her and Lawrence’s ideal collaboration. | |
A movie with “grit” is a departure from the sibling comedy that | |
Schumer and Lawrence had previously announced that they were developing | |
together. Nearly 10 years later, however, Schumer told the outlet she | |
doesn’t think that project “will ever happen.” | |
“Life kept going,” she said of the reason the film didn’t pan | |
out. “My family was going through a rough time. I don’t want to say | |
any more than that.” | |
Echoing Schumer’s sentiment, Lawrence also told the outlet that the | |
project is indeed no longer on the table. “Now that we’re older,” | |
she said, “a sister comedy might not resonate as much.” | |
In 2015, Lawrence originally the New York Times that she was teaming up | |
with the “Trainwreck” star to write a comedic screenplay in which | |
they star as sisters, and that they’d already written nearly 100 | |
pages. | |
“Amy and I were creatively made for each other,” Lawrence said at | |
the time. “We have different flavors. It’s been the most fun | |
experience of my life.” | |
The Oscar-winner also offered an on the sibling comedy during a 2023 | |
appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” telling host Andy Cohen | |
that the project was still “on” despite its slow-moving | |
development. | |
And despite that project not panning out, the “No Hard Feelings” | |
actor also told Variety this week that they still “have every | |
intention of working together.” | |
