Theatrical releases have been set for the Amy Schumer comedy “I Feel Pretty,” and the Cate Blanchett-led “Where’d You Go, Bernadette?” “I Feel Pretty,” in which Schumer plays a woman who wakes up one day with unbelievable self-confidence, will open June 29, 2018, Deadline reports. “Where’d You Go, Bernadette?” will hit theaters May 11, 2018, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Schumer is also producing “I Feel Pretty,” which marks the directorial debut of “How to Be Single” and “He’s Just Not That Into You” screenwriters Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein. Kohn and Silverstein penned the script as well.
“I Feel Pretty” is about “an ordinary woman [Schumer] who struggles with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy on a daily basis and wakes from a fall believing she is suddenly the most beautiful and capable woman on the planet,” Deadline summarizes. “With this newfound confidence she is empowered to live her life fearlessly and flawlessly, but what will happen when she realizes her appearance never changed?”
Michelle Williams and Emily Ratajkowski (“Gone Girl,” “Easy”) will star alongside Schumer.
Based on Maria Semple’s bestseller, Annapurna’s “Where’d You Go, Bernadette?” sees Oscar winner Blanchett star as the eponymous Bernadette, “an eccentric former architect who mysteriously disappears from her claustrophobic life in Seattle, leaving behind her unfulfilled tech-exec husband and their intelligent young daughter,” THR describes.
The film, from “Boyhood’s” Richard Linklater, also stars Kristen Wiig and Billy Crudup (“Jackie,” “20th Century Women”). Linklater wrote “Bernadette’s” script with Holly Gent Palmo and Vince Palmo. Megan Ellison, Nina Jacobson, Ginger Sledge and Brad Simpson serve as producers.
You can catch Schumer next in “Thank You for Your Service,” a drama about a group of soldiers trying to re-acclimate themselves to civilian life, in theaters October 27. The “Trainwreck” star is also attached to Rebecca Miller’s next film, “She Came to Me,” which tells two overlapping love stories. Nicole Kidman and Steve Carell will also star. The comedian’s latest film, the mother-daughter adventure comedy “Snatched,” is currently in theaters.
Blanchett will next appear in Marvel’s “Thor: Ragnarok,” in theaters November 3. The “Carol” actress is also starring in the all-female “Ocean’s Eleven” reboot, “Ocean’s Eight.” Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter, and Sandra Bullock star as well.
