In news that'll surely have millennials typing out things like "yasss," "slay" and "queens," incredibly famous comedian Amy Schumer and her new BFF Jennifer Lawrence are making a movie together.

As the New York Times reports, Lawrence opened up about the collaboration during an interview to promote her latest Hunger Games film. The pair are writing a film together, and they plan to co-star.

"We play sisters," Lawrence said. "We're almost done writing. It just flowed out of us. We've got about 100 pages right now."

"Amy and I were creatively made for each other," she added. "We have different flavors. It's been the most fun experience of my life. We start the day off on the phone, laughing. And then we send each other pages. And we crack up. I'm flying out tomorrow to see her in Chicago. We'll write a little bit with her sister, Kim, who worked with Amy when she was writing Trainwreck."

Lawrence explained that she first emailed Schumer after seeing Trainwreck. "I guess I should just say it: I'm in love with you," she wrote to the comedian.

While speaking with the New York Times, Lawrence texted Schumer to make sure it was okay for her to reveal their planned collaboration. ""I wrote, 'I just spilled the beans to the New York Times. Is that O.K.?'" Lawrence said of the text. "And Amy wrote back, 'That you're gay? Totally! It's exciting!'"
