Judd Apatow & Amy Schumer Team Up For 'Train Wreck': 5 Other Funny Females We Also Want More Of
Judd Apatow has been busy producing movies like Anchorman 2 and Bridesmaids, but his latest venture will have him returning to the director's chair. Judd Apatow's next big move? The comedy Train Wreck, starring the hysterical Comedy Central star Amy Schumer as a "basket case who tries to rebuild her life." While we love Ron Burgundy and his fellow newsmen, we have to say that we're pretty excited about Judd Apatow working with another funny female (after all, Judd Apatow is the person who helped get Girls on HBO and Lena Dunham on our radar). What other funny ladies should Judd Apatow work with? Let's take a look.
Elaine Carroll
This actress stars in CollegeHumor's original videos and is the writer and star of her very own web series Very Mary Kate, in which she does an absolutely fantastic job at portraying the life of one half of the richest twins on the planet. Elaine Carroll may be a web star for now, but this funny girl totally deserves a big platform.
Ali Wong
Ali Wong has made her way through the roundtable on Chelsea Lately and had a role on Chelsea Handler's short-lived sitcom Are You There, Chelsea?. It's just a matter of time before the actress and stand-up comedian gets a role in a major comedy film.
Casey Wilson
The former Happy Endings and Saturday Night Live star is a great comedy actress, but she's not just the one who says the lines — she writes them, too! She recently released her film Ass Backwards at Sundance, which she co-wrote and produced. She also sold a comedy pilot to NBC. We'd love to see the former Penny Hartz team up with Judd Apatow on the screen.
Jessica Williams
This 24-year-old Daily Show correspondent is a regular performer at Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Los Angeles. She may have got her start on the wholesome TeenNick show Just For Kicks but we think that Jessica would feel more comfortable in a raunchier Judd Apatow comedy than on Nickelodeon.
Krysten Ritter
Krysten Ritter killed it as the greatest bitch ever on Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23 and could definitely smart-mouth her way through a funny movie.
