Amy Schumer is not only hilarious, but she’s been wowing us lately with her increasingly feminist commentary via her comedy. Meanwhile, Paul Feig has been creating platforms for some of Hollywood’s funniest women, the most recent example of which is, of course, his upcoming Ghostbusters reboot. Now, they’re teaming up for a new comedy!

Schumer will be co-writing (or, rather, co-rewriting a script by Katie Dippold) the script with her sister, Kim Caramele, to give the main character more of her voice. According to The Hollywood Reporter:

The plot is being kept under wraps but sources say it is an action-comedy in the vein of Feig’s The Heat and centers on a mother-daughter duo trapped in a vacation gone wrong.

An action comedy focusing on a mother-daughter relationship? With Feig and Dippold set to produce, and Schumer starring? This I’m looking forward to!
