Trivia: the screenplay was by Kay Cannon was also wrote on 30 rock, which she said she was sort of coached by Tina fey's writing room.

[@tatehildyard5332]

I wonder if that was how Elizabeth Banks got attached or if Banks went to Kay Cannon with the book. Because she had a recurring guest role on 30 Rock and is even credited as a guest writer on a few episodes.

[@SharynS.]

Green Bay Packers: One of the players, David Bakhtiari, LOVED the first movie. He said he watched it over 30 times and talked it up with his teammates. He tweeted at Elizabeth Banks to say he liked it and that they (the Packers) would do anything to be in the next movie. He meant a quick cameo but she took “anything” to mean they’d sing and dance and so she wrote that ridiculous scene at Tobias Fünke’s house.

I sometimes forget not everyone is as obsessed with these movies as I am and don’t have my encyclopedic knowledge. There’s so much interesting bts that change the perspective of things. Beca and Chloe won a teen choice award for best chemistry so the fact that the other two movies leaned in to their chemistry but never made it canon???? Vile. The only reason the bellas were all squeezed into one tent is because they failed at setting up the second tent (deleted scene). It’s heavily speculated that Beca and Jesse weren’t together anymore in the second film (which might also be affected by my love for bechloe) but it is confirmed in the third film that they broke up. Which means they were both single and sleeping in the same bed in the third film (there was only two beds in their apartment and Amy claimed the main one) and clearly in love and they tried to give them new love interests. Anna Kendrick did not let Beca date the new guy though so it was just Chloe getting with a soldier and Beca being kind of friends with the producer guy.

For the 2nd movie they were trying to do more cameos with real a cappella groups. People were hoping to see Pentatonix. Since the Bellas were representing the USA in competition, the writers chose to make Pentatonix Canadian so they could fit in the plot. The real life groups sang Anyway You Want It for the soundtrack and their cameos!
