The Hollywood Reporter indicated that Goldie Hawn is now in talks with the possibility of playing the mother of Schumer in an upcoming comedy for 20th Century Fox.

However, Goldie Hawn was not the first choice to play the role of the mother of Amy Schumer.
“A hint: This woman is an Oscar-winning actress who has played an Oscar-winning actress”.
Hawn has the offer and is in early talks to play the mother. She is an Oscar victor for her supporting role in 1969’s Cactus Flower and was also nominated for Best Actress for Private Benjamin.
All that looks set to change, thanks to Amy Schumer.
She did, however, turn up in one episode of cult animated comedy Phineas & Ferb, but since then she’s been more or less off our screen. Sally Field and Frances McDormand were other names on the list for the part, but for various reasons never stuck.
If the rumours are true, it’ll be Goldie’s first acting gig since she starred in The Banger Sisters alongside Susan Sarandon in 2002. Katie Dippold (“The Heat”, “Ghostbusters”) has penned the script, based on a pitch by Schumer, that will be a mother/daughter comedy about a family vacation gone wrong, and Hawn is eyeing the Mom role.
