News just reaching from the Las Vegas CinemaCon has Universal’s Adam Fogelson confirming that screenwriter Kay Cannon will return to pen the sequel to last years surprise hit musical comedy, PITCH PERFECT. The original film was based on the book by Mickey Rapkin and centred on Beca (Anna Kendrick), a freshman at Barden University, who joins her school’s all-girls singing group in taking on rival campus’ in a dance competition. Admittedly, I’ve yet to see it but it sounds like GLEE. Am I far off? Do let me know.
The film, directed by TV vet Jason Moore, also starred Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Skylar Astin and Anna Camp. Does this news make fans wanna sing and dance? Again, we’d love to know!

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
