Anna Kendrick’s latest movie, Woman Of The Hour , arrived last weekend for anyone with a Netflix subscription , but amidst promoting the movie, she’s noticed she’s getting a lot more calls for Pitch Perfect 4 from the public. Oh, and her own mother, who even reached out to her about an idea she is “willing to sell.”
When Kendrick stopped by Chicks In The Office to talk about her thrilling directorial debut , she spoke to the possibility of the Barden Bellas reuniting after 2017’s third movie. As the actress shared, in the past six months particularly, she’s noticed the public is “really insistent” on another sequel about the a cappella group, including her mom. In her words:
As Kendrick shared on the podcast, she is getting calls for Pitch Perfect 4 so much that it’s even reaching text exchanges with her closest relatives. While on the show, she shared that her own mother has “an idea” for how the franchise could continue, but wouldn’t get into details over text. Oh, and she’s so serious about it, she started talking about getting the studios involved. Aca-scuse me, Mama Kendrick is clearly ready for her daughter to return just like fans!
Kendrick was then pressed about whether Pitch Perfect 4 was actually in the works, or something a lot of people want. Here’s how she responded:
Speaking of Rebel Wilson, back in May, the actress said there was a fourth Pitch Perfect “being developed” but the script had to be right first before moving forward. It doesn’t sound like Anna Kendrick is clued into the process, but it’s great to hear she’s up for it, should a good idea roll in. She continued:
However, every movie needs the budget to back it up, and as Rebel Wilson spilled earlier this year, Universal almost replaced the whole cast with younger actors for the third film, and it felt like “a kick in the face” to the original cast. Hopefully with all this conversation around another movie, we do see Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson and more in a sequel, because the people certainly want it!
