Amy Schumer Talks Writing Trainwreck and Working With Pro Athletes

Played very convincingly, by the way, by LeBron James, who offers advice about love but also about his hometown.

“”She said, “[The cops] were like, ‘You’re lucky you have this last name.’ And they pleaded it down, to like disturbing the peace or something“.

Trainwreck opens in theaters on July 17. I saw Trainwreck at SXSW. For the first time in her life, the concept of a monogamous relationship seems not only plausible, but preferable.

Cast: Amy Schumer, Bill Hader, Brie Larson.

Yeah! Yeah, it’s pretty cool. “Don’t worry. I didn’t do anything“, Schumer continued. Amy: “No, I’m saying…” I’m like, “Yeah, we’re all the same”. I didn’t get half the jokes. And the chemistry between them is just what the doctor – and the film – ordered. But misleading advertising isn’t always a bad thing.

And I go, “What?” But Schumer, who wrote the film, has given us someone to root for, who, at least at the exhilarating start, is as much blue-mouthed antihero as heroine.

It was a handsome part of that scene, I thought. “This has just been my experience, and the women that I’m close to – my best girlfriends from home, and my best friends now, who are mostly female comics – this is our real sensibility”. That’s what that girl does. And she took that idea to the bank her entire life seeing as she is shown to not be able to be in any sort of committed relationship.

The cover of the new issue of GQ features Amy Schumer dressed as Princess Leia in a'Return of the Jedi bikini top sucking on C-3PO's finger. A
