(CelebNMusic247-News) Elizabeth Banks to Direct Pitch Perfect 2
The Pitch is ON!
Creator/producer Elizabeth Banks is replacing the first film’s director Jason Moore to make her feature directorial debut with Pitch Perfect 2.
Word is, Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson Likely to Return for the sequel as well. As far as the Plot details are concerned for Pitch Perfect 2 – they are unknown at this time. And yes the genius to the films comedic antics is writer, Kay Cannon who will also be returning to write the script.
This is a big get for Banks and also excellent news in a world where too few films are directed by women. The very funny actress/producer has previously directed a few shorts, but Pitch Perfect 2 will be her first time taking the helm of a major feature film. The first pic was one of the most pleasant surprises of 2012, so here’s hoping the humor and chemistry holds over for the sequel. Bringing Kendrick and Wilson back onboard is an excellent—and crucial—start.
