TRAINWRECK

No contemporary filmmaker has chronicled the messy human experience with the eye and ear of a

comedic cultural anthropologist like Judd Apatow. Hits as varied as those hes directed, likeKnocked

Upand The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and those hes produced, like Superbadand Bridesmaids, are all

unified by their honest, unflinching, comic look at how complicated it is to grow up in the modern world.

Apatow has also built a history of helping break distinctive new comedy voices into the mainstream,

from Seth Rogen to Lena Dunham among many others. Now, in his fifth feature film as a director,

Apatow again brings a portrait of an unforgettable character, and a portrayal by a breakout new comedy

star, together in Trainwreck, written by and starring Amy Schumer (Inside Amy Schumer) as a woman

who lives her life without apologies, even when maybe she should apologize.

Since she was a little girl, its been drilled into Amys (Schumer) head by her rascal of a dad (Colin

Quinn) that monogamy isnt realistic. Now a magazine writer, Amy lives by that credoenjoying whatshe feels is an uninhibited life free from stifling, boring romantic commitmentbut in actuality, shes kind

of in a rut. When she finds herself starting to fall for the subject of the new article shes writing, a

charming and successful sports doctor named Aaron Conners (Bill Hader), Amy starts to wonder if other

grown-ups, including this guy who really seems to like her, might be on to something.

The comedy, from a script written by Schumer, co-stars Brie Larson, John Cena, Tilda Swinton and

LeBron James. Apatow produces Trainwreckthrough his Apatow Productions alongside Barry Mendel

(Bridesmaids, This Is 40). www.trainwreckmovie.com
