Despite roles in the likes of the Twilight movies and Scott Pilgrim, as well as an Oscar nomination for Up In The Air, Anna Kendrick hasn't quite hit the movie star heights many expected for her. However she may well do so soon, with two more Twilight movies coming up, along with 50/50, Rapturepalooza, End Of Watch and What To Expect When You're Expecting.
Now she may have another new role, and this one will give her a chance to show off her singing skills, as THR reports that Kendrick is in talks to star in Pitch Perfect, a romantic comedy set in the world of college a cappella groups. Rebel Wilson is already cast in the project, which revolves around a goth-like and rebellious student (Kendrick), who is unhappy to be at a school at which her father is a professor. However she discovers her voice and becomes the secret weapon for the school's female a cappella group.
The film will be directed by Jason Moore and is based on a book written by GQ magazine's Mickey Rapkin. It's due to shoot this autumn in New Orleans.
