Jennifer Lawrence has only known Amy Schumer for a few months, but you could say they've really hit it off. Lawrence began emailing Schumer after seeing her film, Trainwreck, expediting the whole friendship process by blurting, "I'm in love with you," The New York Times reports. In fact, Lawrence, who plays Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, confessed to the Times that she's actually working on a comedic script with Schumer, and the pair plan to co-star.
"We play sisters," Ms. Lawrence said. "We're almost done writing. It just flowed out of us. We've got about 100 pages right now."She continued, "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 New York Times]
