For well over a year, Sony has been trying to make a Barbie movie happen. Yes, that Barbie, the Mattel golden girl with painfully arched feet and a million jobs. Early on, the studio decided to skip a straightforward take, opting for something a bit edgier. After the script's first draft, penned by Jenny Bicks (What a Girl Wants, Sex and the City), the studio then tapped Juno provocateur Diablo Cody to do a major re-write. Then Sony really switched things up, hiring three more writers to all write their own scripts, eventually choosing the one written by Hilary Winston (who's written for comedies like Bad Teacher and Happy Endings). Now comes Sony's next trick: tapping comedian Amy Schumer to play Barbie herself.

The Comedy Central star will reportedly portray the famous blonde, as well as re-write the script with her sister, Kim Caramele. A director has not yet been announced. The story would revolve around “a perfect land of Barbies where one woman slowly awakens to the fact that she doesn’t fit,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. She's soon exiled from the flawless land, forced to become part of the real world, where she realizes “being unique is an asset.” Both the casting and the script concept signal that Mattel is acknowledging Barbie's history as a questionable role model for young girls. (It also sounds like the studio saw The Lego Movie and thought, Yeah, let's do that.)

Schumer, obviously, would also be a brash alternative to the doll's absurdly picture-perfect reputation. The comedian's Emmy-winning series, Inside Amy Schumer, is known for its no-holds-barred take on issues relevant to modern women, like sexism and sexual assault. Its most famous sketches include one about stars like Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tina Fey darkly enjoying their “last fuckable day”, a send-up of the way Hollywood treats actresses over the age of 40. So no, not exactly family-friendly humor.

For a taste of what Schumer’s R-rated take on Barbie would be, perhaps we should look no further than the Inside Amy Schumer sketch “Amy Schumer Doll”—featuring a realistic Amy toy that takes birth control and has one-night stands.
