With a few television appearances, including a season on the reality contest Last Comic Standing, she seemed to explode into the public&#8217;s consciousness with her appearance on the Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen in 2011. That appearance has lead to a hit sketch series on Comedy Central and now it looks as if she is lining up her first starring role in a feature film.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.deadline.com\/2013\/08\/universal-judd-apatow-make-movie-bet-on-comedian-amy-schumer\/\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline<\/a> is reporting that Universal has optioned an untitled script that the comic has been writing as a star vehicle for herself. The project will be produced through Judd Apatow&#8217;s Apatow Productions shingle at the studio. Apatow is no slouch when it comes to female-lead comedy having produced Kiristen Wiig&#8217;s hit <strong>Bridesmaids<\/strong> and Lena Dunham&#8217;s HBO series <em>Girls<\/em>. He is reportedly working with Schumer on the development of the screenplay.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I find this to be exciting news. Not only is Schumer a great stand up &#8211; I saw her in New York last March where she killed the room &#8211; but her Comedy Central show has served as a great showcase of her comic acting skills. If they can translate into film, it looks as if Universal may have a future hit on their hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">The comic actress is scripting her first starring feature.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2013\/08\/26\/amy-schumer\/\" title=\"Universal Picks Up Amy Schumer Project For Apatow To Produce\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[6691,191],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-30211","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-amy-schumer","8":"tag-judd-apatow"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30211"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30211\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30211"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30211"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=30211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
