The Trainwreck shooting made Amy Schumer wish she'd never written the film
Comedian Amy Schumer was quick to offer condolences after a July shooting at a Louisiana screening of Trainwreck, a film she wrote and starred in. She even joined her cousin, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in calling for tougher gun control laws. In a Vanity Fair cover story published online Monday, Schumer opened up even more about how she took the news.
"So my publicist told me. And then I put on the news. I was by myself in a hotel, and I was just like, I wish I never wrote that movie," she said. "I just felt helpless and stupid."
