New ‘Pitch Perfect 2’ Trailer: The World Gets Pitch Slapped
The newPitch Perfect 2trailer is out and this time the stakes are bigger. Think: global. This time, the Barden Bellas literally compete in a worldwide a cappella competition. While the first trailer gave a hint of what this meant for the movie, the new one takes it a step beyond. As it says in the trailer, the world is about to get pitch slapped.
Pitch Perfect 2, directed byElizabeth Banks, starsAnna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany SnowandHailee Steinfeld. It opens May 15 in the US. Watch the newPitch Perfect 2trailer below.
Pitch Perfect 2 Trailer
As you’ve probably read, I’m very excited for this movie, but this trailer falls a tiny bit short for me. It focuses more on the goofy comedy of the film, which is fine, but is definitely not what makes the first movie so great. The firstPitch Perfectis all about energy, charm and this trailer shows that, but it also shows Fat Amy (Wilson) revealing her vagina to President Obama. That’s a little too wacky.
What I do love is the music isn’t all brand new pop stuff. There’s Bel Biv Devoe, there’s A Tribe Called Quest. Banks and company definitely dove a bit deeper into the archives for the songs this time around. Which is both good and bad. “Good” because those songs are great. “Bad” because, again, the pop songs of the first movie firmly planted it in that time frame.Pitch Perfectdoesn’t need to be timeless, it needs to be current.
Then again – this is two minutes of a 90+ minute movie. I still have every confidence that Banks crushed this and the scope in this trailer certainly suggests that. We’ll find out more on May 15.
