I Feel Pretty Trailer – Amy Schumer finds confidence she never knew she had

By

At one point Amy Schumer was going to play a Barbie who wasn’t beautiful enough for Barbie-land. Now she’s coming at a similar theme from a different angle with I Feel Pretty.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In I FEEL PRETTY, Amy Schumer stars as Renee Barrett – a woman who struggles with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy on a daily basis. After suffering a fall at a spin class, she wakes up believing she is suddenly the most beautiful and capable woman on the planet. With this newfound confidence she is empowered to live her life fearlessly and flawlessly, but what will happen when she realizes her appearance never changed?’

You can take a look at the trailer below. I Feel Pretty will be released in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on 6th July 2018. [Read more…]

Anne Hathaway Is Thinking Of Replacing Amy Schumer In The Barbie Movie

By

When it was first announced, many people thought a movie about Barbie sounded like a hideous idea. However, the fact it had Amy Schumer attached and a more feminist plot that you might have expected made people a little more interested. However, then Schumer dropped out.

Now though, a replacement may have been found, and it may be a smart choice. Deadline reports that Anne Hathaway is circling the role, and may well sign on.

If she does take the role, ‘Hathaway would play a character who lives in Barbieland, where she gets kicked out basically because she’s not perfect enough, is a bit eccentric and doesn’t quite fit the mold. She then goes on an adventure in the real world, and by the time she returns to Barbieland to save it, she has gained the realization that perfection comes on the inside, not the outside, and that the key to happiness is belief in oneself, free of the obligation to adhere to some unattainable standard of perfection.’

Alethea Jones (Lemonade Stand) is in talks to direct the movie, which is being planned as a PG rated family adventure. The studio is also apparently still eyeing a June 2018 release.

Amy Schumer Is In Talks To Be The Live-Action Barbie

By

amy-schumerBack in 2014 it was revealed that Sony & Mattel were working on a live-action Barbie movie. If you’d drawn up a list of the actresses you might have expected to nab the lead role, Amy Schumer probably wouldn’t have been on it, as she doesn’t exactly fit into the Barbie stereotypes. However, Variety reports she’s in talks for the role, and while she may not immediately seem an obvious fit, the funny woman is a smart choice.

A live-action Barbie movie was always likely to run into trouble unless it could divorce itself from the idea of the toy many people have – a woman only interested in fashion, looking pretty, having a hunky Ken, and the material things in life. Having Schumer on board should ensure the movie can play with those ideas, while have a few smart, funny things to say about them.

Hilary Winston wroted the initial script, but it’s believed it’ll now be handed over to Schumer and her sister, Kim Caramele, for retooling. The more is said to be, ‘in the vein of “Splash”, “Enchanted” and “Big.” In it, the main character gets kicked out of Barbieland for not being perfect enough and lands in a real-world adventure.’

The film’s due out summer 2018.
