Jonathan Levine could Direct Amy Schumer's Mother/Daughter Comedy

Any doubt that Amy Schumer's in-your-face style of comedy wouldn't translate to the big screen got their answer as the R-rated Trainwreck has scored an impressive $111M so far. Even before the film hit theaters Schumer was beginning to line up future gigs, and one was a mother/daughter action comedy that would pair her up with The Heat's Paul Feig as a producer and screenwriter Katie Dippold. Now the film may have landed a director in Jonathan Levine.

Levine, who directed Warm Bodies, 50/50, The Wackness, and the upcoming holiday comedy The Night Before, is in talks to direct Schumer's untitled comedy. Based on a story by Dippold and rewritten by Schumer and her sister Katie Caramele, follows a mother and daughter who are kidnapped during their vacation in Brazil. Dippold based the central relationship on her own, so those must be some interesting phone conversations with mom she's having. 

As for who could play the mother opposite Schumer, names such as Sally Field, Frances Conroy, and Meryl Streep are being considered. Schumer and Streep together? Yes please! [THR]
