Released in the fall of 2012, the acapella comedy Pitch Perfect was one of the surprises of the respective year, an endlessly rewatchable crowd-pleaser that has since exploded on the home video market. Because of its success, Universal has now finished production on the follow-up, one that will be directed by Elizabeth Banks, who served as a producer on the first film.
Featuring the return of Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, Rebel Wilson, Alexis Knapp, Adam DeVine, Skylar Astin, and more, newcomers Hailee Steinfeld and David Cross join in on the fun this time around, which finds the Bellas participating in a global competition. The fun first trailer has now dropped which can be seen below, along with the poster, for the film that will be among the competitive summer slate.
Pitch Perfect 2 opens on May 15th, 2015.
