00:00Amy Schumer. She's funny, she's honest, and she's not afraid to make a movie about her life and call it Trainwreck.
00:08We met with Amy Schumer and she started going on a script.
00:14She turned in like the first 20 pages and we've been working on a bunch of other things.
00:17And there were more laughs on the first page of that script than in all of our other scripts combined.
00:23The pages kept coming in, they were good, better, better, better, and then all of a sudden it's like, well we gotta do this.
00:29I would love it if you were my David.
00:31I can't do that because like, you and I won't ever see each other again.
00:35Judd said you wrote 20 pages and it was hilarious and you just kept bringing in more pages.
00:39He just really encouraged me the whole time to keep writing because had he not been so positive and encouraging I might have stopped, you know?
00:46But he just really kind of held my hand through the process.
00:48The jokes are very surprising. Like you wouldn't expect LeBron James would be cool with what he's being asked to do.
00:54But he just was totally tickled by it.
00:56We want some Donald Snabby later.
00:58We want some LeBron and being interviewed.
00:59Listen, I'm watching it tonight because I'm not going to go to practice and all the guys are talking about it and I'm left out.
01:03I was falling in love at the time I wrote it and I was scared out of my mind.
01:08I wasn't even enjoying it. I was just so scared I was going to be hurt.
01:11It's really a soul searching script. In addition to being funny, it's just working out some real stuff.
01:17And that's what I think comedy works best.
01:19It's a look at a troubled, funny train wreck of a person and their attempt to tame themselves and get saner.
01:26I think it's a lesson we all can learn.
