Actresses Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence are set to join forces for a new project on the big screen, but it may not be the comedic content fans are accustomed to from the duo. In a recent interview with Variety, Schumer revealed that their upcoming collaboration will have 'more grit and teeth,' signaling a departure from their previously announced sibling comedy.
While the original plan for a sister comedy between the two stars seems to have been put on hold indefinitely, Schumer cited personal reasons for the shift in direction. She mentioned that her family was going through a rough time, leading to a change in priorities.
Likewise, Lawrence acknowledged that as they have grown older, a sister comedy may not resonate as strongly with audiences. Despite the change in plans, both actresses expressed their continued intention to work together on a new project.
Back in 2015, Lawrence had initially shared plans to collaborate with Schumer on a comedic screenplay where they would portray sisters. The project had garnered excitement from fans, with Lawrence describing the experience as the most fun of her life.
Although the sibling comedy did not come to fruition as originally envisioned, Lawrence had provided updates over the years, indicating that the project was still in the works. However, recent statements from both actresses suggest a shift towards a different type of film, one that promises a more intense and dramatic storyline.
Despite the change in direction, fans of Schumer and Lawrence can look forward to seeing the talented duo team up once again, albeit in a new and unexpected genre. Stay tuned for more updates on their upcoming collaboration.
