Anna Kendrick 'Excited' for 'Pitch Perfect 2!'
by Shannon Keirnan"Pitch Perfect" fans rejoice!
News is out that a sequel is in the works, and it just gets better and better.
For example, Elizabeth Banks has signed on to direct (her directoral debut). Banks made an appearance in the first flick as a judge.
Star Anna Kendrick, of course, will be back as Becca of the a cappella group The Barden Bellas. Skylar Astin is also set to return to his role of Jesse, and Rebel Wilson will be reprising everyone's favorite, Fat Amy.
"@AnnaKendrick & myself: 2 Girls, 1 CUPS, in Pitch Perfect 2" Wilson tweeted.
Kendrick revealed her excitement about filming... but not much else. There's not much information out yet about the direction the sequel will take.
"I'm very excited! I mean I've signed on with no script, so you know, if it becomes about parasailing instead of singing, don't blame me!" she jokes. "I can see it picking up in the year 3000 when we're all cryogenically frozen... and our voices are digital and we're breaking the sound barrier."
In all seriousness though, Kendrick suggests audiences will get a different experience than the original.
"I think, like musically, the theme is going to be a different kind of theme musically. I mean, I'm sort of speculating, like I don't really know. I've heard, like, whispers of rumors."
So, no more "Cups?"
