New Amy Schumer Comedy “I Feel Pretty” Gets Its First Trailer (Video)
In the directorial debut by screenwriters Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein (He’s Just Not That Into You), Schumer plays an insecure woman who wakes from a fall with the newfound confidence that she’s the most beautiful woman on the planet.
Renee is an average woman in a genetically blessed world, but when a blow to the head leaves her believing she’s the most beautiful, capable woman on the planet, her newfound confidence inspires her to live life fearlessly and flawlessly.
Instead of Barbie, Schumer will join Steve Carell and Nicole Kidman in Rebecca Miller’s She Came to Me, which is described as a multigenerational story about family and the complexities of modern life, as filtered through the lens of two intertwining love stories.
After her boyfriend dumps her, a spontaneous woman in her 30s persuades her ultra-cautious mom to accompany her on a vacation to Ecuador. At Emily’s insistence, the pair seek out adventure, but suddenly find themselves kidnapped. When these two very different women are trapped on this wild journey, their bond as mother and daughter is tested and strengthened while they attempt to navigate the jungle and escape.
