Why Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer’s Sister Comedy Isn’t Happening

Jennifer Lawrence And Amy SchumerThe long-standing on-screen collaboration has been put on hold – at least for now.

After Lawrence, 33, revealed in 2015 that she and Schumer, 42, were working on a script together, the project now appears to be officially dead.

“I don’t think it will ever happen,” Schumer said diversity in a story published Tuesday, April 30. “It was just like life went on. My family was going through a difficult time. I don’t want to say anything more.”

However, that doesn’t mean Schumer and Lawrence’s professional paths may not cross later.

Although her script may never become reality, Lawrence said The New York Times in 2015 that she and Schumer had almost finished the whole thing.

“We’re almost finished writing,” the Oscar winner said. “It just flowed out of us. We have about 100 pages right now.”

Lawrence continued: “Amy and I are made for each other creatively. We have different flavors. It was the funniest experience of my life. We start the day laughing on the phone. And then we send each other pages.”

The two stars became good friends when Lawrence contacted Schumer after watching her rise to stardom in 2015 Train wreck.

“I emailed her after I saw it Train wreck and said, “I don’t know where to start.” I think I should just say it: “I’m in love with you,” Lawrence explained. “We started emailing, and then emailing turned into texting.”
