Coming to theaters this Christmas is the next part in the story of the fun-loving Bellas.
From Universal Pictures, watch the first trailer for PITCH PERFECT 3.
Now graduated from college and out in the real world where it takes more than a cappella to get by, the Bellas return in PITCH PERFECT 3, the next chapter in the beloved series that has taken in more than $400 million at the global box office.
After the highs of winning the World Championships, the Bellas find themselves split apart and discovering there aren’t job prospects for making music with your mouth. But when they get the chance to reunite for an overseas USO tour, this group of awesome nerds will come together to make some music, and some questionable decisions, one last time.
Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Hailee Steinfeld, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, Hana Mae Lee, Ester Dean, Alexis Knapp, Chrissie Fit, Kelley Jakle, Shelley Regner, Elizabeth Banks and John Michael Higgins all return and are joined by additions including John Lithgow and Ruby Rose.
PITCH PERFECT 3 is again produced by Paul Brooks of Gold Circle Entertainment and Max Handelman & Elizabeth Banks of Brownstone Productions, and is directed by Trish Sie (Step Up All In).
An exotic vacation takes a dark turn in the suspense thriller Urge, arriving on Blu-ray (plus Digital HD), DVD (plus Digital), and Digital HD September 6 from Lionsgate. From producers of Crank and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, Urge is currently available On Demand.

Charlie Kaufman has a lot to answer for. His multi level style of screen writing now has multiple imitators. Witness if you will a little film called Cavemen. In the style of Charlie Kaufman’s screen play for Adaptation and other films, we see a young, urban professional named Dean struggle to write a screen play, bounce ideas off some unnamed friends, present his screen play to a way too convincing Hollywood producer (very well played by Jason Patric) and struggle to live through the incidents that will come to make up the screen play we see him write, and that we also see being performed in front of our eyes.
Not quite as engaging as Kaufman’s style Cavemen does have its fun moments, but, well…
Dean and three of his friends have figured out how to keep the frat boy life style going well after college (if in fact any of these guys went to college.) They live in a converted warehouse (named The Cave, thus they are the “Cavemen”, and, of course, they also have the required Neanderthal attitudes towards women) and run a combination bar, party house, concert venue and thus do not have to pay rent on their own places. They live where they work in other words, but that also means they do a lot of drinking and fornicating, and talking about drinking and fornicating, which gets real old, real fast.
Dean’s best female friend who also tends bar at the Cave is Tess, very well played by Camilla Bell, who was excellent in a little thriller called The Quiet in 2005.
And, as you would expect, the main point of the movie is not only Dean’s struggle to get his screen play written and produced but to find True Love amid all the easy sex in the city of LA. To their credit this crew managed to film LA in a totally different fashion than we are used to, I don’t know where they found these locations but I have never seen LA look this good.
And again, as you would expect, we know that Tess is the right woman for Dean, long before he does. We see him do all the fun things that speed dating can bring about when you have nothing but time on your hands and no moral compass to speak of. Dean and his friends go through the roundelays you might see in a French art house movie, just not as well presented.
It takes Dean so long to figure out that he really does love Tess, and so very, very long for him to say it we get tired of this movie way before it’s over. I lost count of the number of times we see Dean run on foot after a cab that Tess is in so he can pull her out of the cab, and then not say the right thing!
She gets tired of it and so do we. I hate to slam any movie, especially an independent effort like this, but we have seen this material too many times before and done better. There’s really not much new here.
Well Go USA’s bluray looks terrific. The only extras are some trailers for other releases in their catalog, all of which look more interesting than Cavemen.
Universal Pictures announced that it has begun the search for new talent to appear in “Starships,” the official music video forPitch Perfect, the studio’s upcoming musical comedy that hits theaters on October 5. With the chance to join the film’s cast and Internet music sensation Mike Tompkins in the video, amateur musicians and dancers are encouraged to submit their best vocals; signature moves; beatbox; and/or guitar, bass, synth and back-up sounds to accompany this cover of Nicki Minaj’s worldwide smash.
With multiple options for participation, fans may submit their entries atwww.pitchperfectmovie.com/musicvideo. Those selected for the project will have their video showcased on both the Blu-ray DVD of Pitch Perfect and Tomkins’YouTube channel, which currently has more than 550,000 subscribers.
“Pitch Perfect celebrates everyone out there who is following his or her true passion,” said the film’s director, Jason Moore. “Mike Tompkins embodies passion for music, and we’re thrilled to be able to partner with him on this project. I can’t wait to watch the undiscovered talent that I know we’ll find.”
“When Universal approached me with the idea to make a video for Pitch Perfect, I knew it would be a fun partnership,” noted Tompkins. “Making music has driven me since I was a kid, and I know there are many others out there who love it as much as I do. I’m looking forward to seeing what we are able to create together.”
This is the first time Tompkins has collaborated with filmmakers, talent and a studio on the official music video for a movie. Tompkins, represented by Maker Studios—a next-generation talent-first music company—is best known for creating his own unique twist on music covers using only his voice and mouth. As his popularity rose, he was noticed by some of the biggest names in entertainment and has since collaborated as a producer and writer with Timbaland and been featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, NBC’s TODAY show and PerezHilton.com, among others. Tompkins and Alana Da Fonseca arranged this new a cappella version of “Starships,” which was written by Nicki Minaj, RedOne, Carl Falk, Rami Yacoub and Wayne Hector.
All submissions must be received by August 22, 2012. Please visit www.pitchperfectmovie.com/musicvideo for entry details and terms and conditions.
Beca (Anna Kendrick) is that girl who’d rather listen to what’s coming out of her headphones than what’s coming out of you. Arriving at her new college, she finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she never would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together, in the new out-loud comedy Pitch Perfect.
When Beca takes this acoustic singing group out of their world of traditional arrangements and perfect harmonies into all-new mash-ups, they fight to climb their way to the top of the cutthroat world of college music competitions. This could wind up either the coolest thing they’ll ever do or the most insane, and it will probably be a little of both.
Loaded with new takes on old favorites to hits of right now that are seamlessly mixed together, mashed-up and arranged like you’ve never heard before, Pitch Perfect is directed by Jason Moore, who opened our eyes to the very misbehaved life of puppets in the surprise Broadway sensation Avenue Q.
