Comedienne-turned-actress Amy Schumer is gearing up for her second film, and she’s already luring some big wattage star power to the project. All eyes are on Goldie Hawn to play Amy’s Mom in an as yet untitled action/comedy flick for Fox. The movie will be produced by Paul Feig, who is currently directing the all-female Ghostbusters reboot, so that’s encouraging.

The 34-year-old actress, and 2015’s Most Intriguing Person according to People Magazine, has faced the slings and arrows of social media lately over accusations that she was stealing jokes, but she’s seemed to come out of it relatively unscathed. She’s getting her own HBO comedy special later this year, directed by Chris Rock. The special is set to be recorded at New York’s famed Apollo Theater on May 29.

Goldie, 70, hasn’t made a movie since 2002’s The Banger Sisters with Susan Sarandon. I am a big fan myself and am happy to see her return to the big screen, as long as it doesn’t interfere with Divanation, her on-screen reunion with First Wives Club co-stars Diane Keaton and Bette Midler. The new movie with Amy and Goldie is a mother-daughter caper revolving around a vacation gone wrong. Could be great, could be the next Guilt Trip (a movie Barbra Streisand couldn’t even save) .

I think that this is pretty inspired casting. Looks-wise, I don’t think you could cast anyone else, they are both adorable and look related. And, let’s not forget that Goldie had her time as a “girl power” spokeswoman – like when she played the coach of a high school football team in Wildcats (and even tried her hand at rapping…well, not really, but this was my favorite memory of the movie). Goldie has made me laugh in so many other movies (Foul Play, anyone?) and I do love Amy’s stand up and series, so I think they are a perfect match. Can you think of a better choice? I sure can’t.
