Jennifer Lawrence, Amy Schumer Screenplay Finished? ‘Joy’ Star Claims the Writing is Done!

Jennifer Lawrence announced the screenplay she's been working on with friend and comedienne Amy Schumer is completed. The still untitled project will feature the pair as sisters with very different personalities.  The 25-year-old Joy actress first mentioned she was working on the script with the 34-year-old Inside Amy Schumer actress back in August. 

"We have finished writing it. We have an official first draft. I am going to try and fit it somewhere into my ghoulish schedule." said Lawrence to BBC 6 Music. "It was hilarious, because when you're writing a comedy it's not good enough unless you're laughing out loud," she added. "So I'm laughing at my pages and I'm laughing at her pages and thinking that the whole process is hilarious. I'm thinking we've got a pretty funny, good movie."

In an interview with Glamour, The Hunger Games star claimed, "I saw Trainwreck in July, and I emailed her. I just knew: this b*tch needs to write a movie for me," clarifying that she didn't know the two would write the script together.  

On collaborating, the Silver Linings Playbook Oscar winner said, "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. And we're both very blunt. So we've gotten through a really strenuous process without ever fighting, because we're both very straightforward." Meanwhile, Emmy-winning Schumer said the script is "funny," "dirty," and "real."

Comedic women writing and performing with one another is nothing new. Kristen Wiig wrote and starred in Bridemaids with Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCarthy. The latter of which then wrote Tammy which co-starred Susan Sarandon. Then of course there's Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who addition to writing and appearing on SNL and the Golden Globes, recently appeared together in their holiday hit, ironically titled, Sisters.

As for Lawrence and Schumer's opus, the American Hustle Oscar nominee recently told ET, "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." Supposedly the film won't be politically correct.
