AceShowbiz - Amy Schumer makes a change to her new movie following the tragic mass shooting of Orlando gay nightclub. According to E! News, a scene showing someone shooting a gun at people has been axed from the mother-daughter comedy which is yet to be titled.
Schumer stars in the feature film along with Goldie Hawn and Tom Bateman. They are filming the movie in Hawaii. Fox has announced to release the big screen project for a Mother's Day weekend release on May 12, 2017.
Last year, gun violence happened in a Louisiana theater during a showing of Schumer's movie "Trainwreck". "I wish I never wrote that movie," the actress told Vanity Fair earlier this year. "It's like when The Dark Knight shooting happened, and in Paris. The idea of people trying to go out and have a good time - you know, like looking forward to it? - I don't know why that makes me the saddest."
In October 2015, Amy joined her cousin, Sen. Chuck Schumer, to raise awareness on gun violence. "Gun violence is ripping apart America; it's ripping apart our families," she said. "And even those untouched by violence must every few days just look up in a stunned silence at another nightly newscast that reads like an obituary."
The funnywoman also filmed a sketch called "Welcome to the Gun Show" on her show "Inside Amy Schumer" to showed people how easy it was to obtain a gun.
