Elizabeth Banks Will Direct Pitch Perfect 2: Cue a Happy Tune!

Sequel will be the feature directorial debut for the actress, who also played an a cappella competition judge in the 2012 hit comedy

Elizabeth Banks has been killing it on the big and small screens for years now—but will she hit the right note as a director?

We're going to find out pretty soon, because the Hunger Games and 30 Rock actress is going to direct Pitch Perfect 2, the sequel to the 2012 hit comedy about the fierce word of college a cappella singing in which Banks also played a judge on the competition circuit.

Sounds like music to our ears!

PP2 will be Banks' feature directorial debut—and the studio has the utmost confidence in her ability to fluorish behind the camera. Well, considering she masterminded the whole thing...

Kendrick and scene-stealer Rebel Wilson are not officially onboard yet, but it sounds as if Universal is busy getting its altos and sopranos in a row.

All together now...

Action!
