KATE HUDSON cannot wait to see her mum, GOLDIE HAWN, back onscreen after confirming the veteran actress has signed on for AMY SCHUMER’s new comedy.
The “Private Benjamin” star was recently reported to have entered talks for Amy’s new kidnap movie, in which she would play the comedian’s mother, and now Kate has now revealed Goldie is on board – and she, for one, is looking forward to checking out the 70-year-old’s first onscreen role since 2002’s “The Banger Sisters.”
“I can’t wait!” she exclaimed during an appearance on “Good Morning America.” “I’m so excited! She hasn’t worked in 14 years.”
Goldie has been using her time away from the camera to focus on building her children’s education charity, The Hawn Foundation, which aims to introduce new teaching techniques to schools worldwide to aid kids’ social skills and improve their emotional well-being.
Goldie has previously opened up about her film hiatus, admitting she was looking to get back into the acting industry and had started working with network bosses at HBO and “Sex and the City” screenwriter Darren Star to find the perfect comeback project.
“I guess it’s time…” she told “Good Morning America” in 2011. “We’re trying to do something wonderful, and then there’s a few movies out there I’m looking at. I’m actually thinking, ‘Is it time to get back in?’ I don’t know. I just keep having fun, that’s the main thing.”
The as-yet-untitled Amy Schumer film is scheduled for release in 2017.
