Squad Goals: J Law And Amy Schumer Are Working On A Project Together
Prepare yourself for some friendship FOMO, and no, it's not over Swift's squad this time.
America's official, super-famous representatives for goofy and witty women everywhere, Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence, are reportedly teaming up to write a movie where they play sisters.
In an interview with The New York Times regarding her upcoming "Hunger Games" film, Lawrence admitted the dream duo made 100 pages worth of progress on a screenplay and said the creative process has been just as fun as one would suspect.
She told The New York Times,
Amy and I were creatively made for each other. We have different flavors. It's been the most fun experience of my life. We start the day off on the phone, laughing. And then we send each other pages. And we crack up. I'm flying out tomorrow to see her in Chicago. We'll write a little bit with her sister, Kim, who worked with Amy when she was writing 'Trainwreck.'
The Oscar winner divulged she reached out to the "Inside Amy Schumer" star via email and told her,
I'm in love with you.
Naturally, such a warm opener led to texting and, eventually, vacations and script writing.
In the midst of her interview with The New York Times, Lawrence took a moment to text her pal. She said,
I wrote, 'I just spilled the beans to The New York Times. Is that OK?' And Amy wrote back, 'That you're gay? Totally! It's exciting!'
There is no official word on the name of the movie or when it's slated to begin production, but those looking for a Schumer/Lawrence fix can find “Trainwreck” in theaters now and “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2” in theaters November 20.
