Pitch Perfect 2!?


   After the huge success of the first one and the loads of money it brought in it should be no surprise that a sequel is coming our way...The comedy/musical was made on a budget of $17 million and took in $113 million putting its profits as a musical just behind School of Rock. Now with the random fact out of the way, Pitch Perfect 2 has grabbed Elizabeth Banks to make her first ever directorial debut. For those that don't know, Banks worked on the first one as well, even playing a small role in the film. Her latest acting achievements are in the Hunger Games films as Effie. At first when I heard the news about a sequel and Banks being attached to direct I was like..."wait, why?" Then I thought about it some more and this is actually a pretty smart move for her as a debut, its almost a guaranteed success and the budget for the film should be small enough that even if by some random quirk it doesn't make as much as the first one it wont hurt her. So I am all for this and wish her luck!
