The people have been enjoying being pitchslapped by collegiate acapella singers for the last two years now as Pitch Perfect 1 and 2 made creating music with mouths only really enticing. The pitches are back for its installment and Elizabeth Banks will once again helm the said film.
According to ew.com [Entertainment Weekly], Elizabeth Banks [Effie, Hunger Games Movie Series], will team up once again with Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson and Brittany Snow on the box- office hit musical comedy for its third installment.
The screenwriter for the first two films Kay Cannon, will also be the one who will work on the third film. Elizabeth Banks, an actress- turned- director, will soon be seen again in the upcoming Hunger Games: the Mockingjay Part 2. She also made it into the headlines when her Pitch Perfect 2 made $285 million last summer. Her work with Pitch Perfect made a record of the "best debut for a debut film director" and awarded her the second "highest grossing opening for a female- directed film" behind Sam Taylor- Johnson's Fifty Shades of Grey.
In a report by hollywoodreporter.com, Banks will be working on the film with her husband, Max Handelman and Gold Circle topper Paul Brooks. After Bank's success with the film's second installment, it was unclear whether she will return for the third until it was announced that she will handle it again. Her success with Pitch Perfect has opened doors for her directing career as she got to sign projects such as Sony's reboot of Charlie's Angels and Red Queen.
Right after the success of Pitch Perfect 2, many are already asking if a third installment would be possible and aca- gods have heard their prayers as Pitch Perfect 3 is set to be released on August 4, 2017.
