Amy Schumer is coming back to the big screen, but it will be awhile before we see her follow-up to Trainwreck.
Earlier this week, Deadline confirmed that 20th Century Fox has locked up Schumer for a mother, daughter comedy. It was written by Katie Dippold, who wrote The Heat and worked on Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters reboot, and will be directed by Warm Bodies helmer Jonathan Levine.
Fox has yet to find an actress to play Schumer’s mother.
At the moment, the project is simply titled Mother/Daughter and has been scheduled for May 12, 2017. Sure, it’s a bit early to start thinking about 2017, but the film already has some stiff competition, since Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is coming out the weekend before.
Schumer made her film debut in Trainwreck, which she wrote. The Judd Apatow-directed romcom grossed $138.3 million worldwide, with $110 million of that coming from the U.S. alone.
Schumer is also the star of Comedy Central’s Emmy-winning Inside Amy Schumer and she hosted Saturday Night Live earlier this month.
