Anna Kendrick Credits THIS Star as the Driving Force Behind Pitch Perfect 4 Coming to Life
Anna Kendrick is excited about the potential return of the Pitch Perfect series. At the Los Angeles premiere of her directorial debut, Woman of the Hour, on October 10, Kendrick shared her thoughts on the possibility of making Pitch Perfect 4. Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE, the 39-year-old actress expressed her interest in reprising her role as Beca.
“Oh, my God, I know I would love that,” Kendrick said, mentioning that Rebel Wilson, who played Fat Amy, plays a crucial role in making a fourth movie happen. “As long as she keeps saying it might happen, I’ll believe it.”
Kendrick first appeared in Pitch Perfect in 2012, with sequels released in 2015 and 2017. The movies followed a group of college students competing in a cappella competitions. Earlier this year, fans were thrilled when Wilson and co-star Anna Camp hinted at the possibility of another film on social media.
Kendrick has strong ties to her Pitch Perfect co-stars beyond the musical franchise. Her new thriller, Woman of the Hour, features Chrissie Fit and Kelley Jakle, both of whom appeared in the Pitch Perfect films. The movie follows the story of Cheryl Bradshaw, a participant on The Dating Game in 1978, who unknowingly selected serial killer Rodney Alcala as her date.
At the premiere, Kendrick discussed her experience directing for the first time. She admitted that the reality of her new role hadn’t fully sunk in but reflected on the emotional moments she experienced while creating the film. “I probably felt most emotional when we wrapped the movie,” Kendrick said. “And I know I’ll feel emotional tonight because it’s the first time I’ve had all these people together in one room.”
Kendrick also expressed her excitement about reuniting with the cast and crew, many of whom she hadn’t seen in a while. She shared her ambition to direct more projects in the future, despite the challenges of simultaneously acting and directing.
When discussing her dual role as director and actress, Kendrick mentioned that she relied on others to help her stay on track. Her editor even commended her for being decisive, calling her a “real mercenary” in choosing the right takes. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on this. Keep an eye out for similar news.
