After directing a segment of the omnibus comedy “Movie 43,” Elizabeth Banks is ready to direct a full-length feature and she has found the perfect studio project to hone her skills on — Universal and Gold Circle Films’ “Pitch Perfect 2,” an individual familiar with the sequel has told TheWrap.
Original stars Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson are expected to reprise their roles alongside Banks, who played an announcer in the first film.
Banks and Max Handelman will produce the sequel through their Brownstone Productions banner along with Paul Brooks of Gold Circle Films, whose Scott Niemeyer will executive produce.
