BIG news: One of the best young actors in the game right now, Brie Larson (of Short Term 12 and 21 Jump Street fame) is reportedly in talks to join Bill Hader and Amy Schumer in the next Judd Apatow-directed film, Trainwreck. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait a while, as the film isn't slated to hit theaters until the summer of 2015, but it looks like an exciting one—especially now that the prospect of Larson starring is on the table. Can we just give this girl all the roles?

As for the plot, Trainwreck follows a woman who tries to piece her life together, because its in shambles....E.G., a "train wreck." Get it? Get it?

Trainwreck, written by Schumer herself, will serve as the first feature film directed by Apatow that he didn't have a hand in writing. Seems like it'll be nice to see a small change in tone compared to normal Apatow films that involve a manchild who doesn't have his shit together—instead, we'll see a womanchild who doesn't have her shit together.
