Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer’s long-gestating onscreen collaboration has been put on ice — at least for now.

After Lawrence, 33, published that she and Schumer, 42, were operating on a script together back in 2015, the undertaking now seems to be formally dead.

“I don’t think it will ever happen,” Schumer told Variety in a tale revealed Tuesday, April 30. “It was once just, like, lifestyles kept going. My family was going via a rough time. I don’t wish to say any longer than that.”

Still, that doesn’t imply Schumer and Lawrence’s professional paths received’t doubtlessly cross additional down the road.

As Schumer insisted, “The manner we’re hoping our careers pass, we may do one thing with more grit and teeth.”

Regardless, Lawrence said the script’s subject material — which found the two actresses enjoying sisters — made somewhat bit extra sense a decade ago.

“Now that we’re older, a sister comedy might no longer resonate as much,” Lawrence advised Variety. “But we've got each purpose of running together.”

Lawrence also used the opportunity to shield Schumer against some of the backlash she has received within the wake of her outspoken beef up of Israel in the midst of the Israel-Hamas war.

“Amy’s choice to make use of her voice to speak for justice places her below immense fireplace,” she mentioned of her good friend. “I wouldn’t say she navigates it such a lot as she throws her heart palms up and walks away from destructive comments like a fuel station fireplace in a Michael Bay film.”

While their script would possibly by no means see the day, Lawrence told The New York Times in 2015 that she and Schumer had almost completed all of the thing.

“We’re nearly finished writing,” the Oscar winner mentioned. “It simply flowed out of us. We’ve were given about one hundred pages presently.”

Lawrence persevered, “Amy and I were creatively made for every different. We have different flavors. It’s been essentially the most amusing revel in of my life. We get started the day without work at the phone, guffawing. And then we ship each different pages.”

The two stars was excellent buddies when Lawrence contacted Schumer after seeing her star-making flip in 2015’s Trainwreck.

“I emailed her once I noticed Trainwreck and said, ‘I don’t know the place to get began. I suppose I should simply say it: I’m in love with you,’” Lawrence explained. “We began emailing, and then emailing became to texting.”
