Sing 2 will debut in theaters on Wednesday, December 22nd, and follows the ever-optimistic Buster Moon and his all-star cast of performers as they prepare to launch their most dazzling stage extravaganza yet …all in the glittering entertainment capital of the world.
There’s just one hitch: They first have to persuade the world’s most reclusive rock star—played by global music icon Bono, in his animated film debut—to join them.
Taron Egerton as a leading man in a musical movie? SIGN US UP!
The Sing star dished in a recent interview that he’d love to star in a movie musical one day (and we hope it’s soon!).
“I’d done it before,” he shared about singing in the animated movie, Sing. “I’d done, like, amateur musicals and I’d done choral singing at school, but I think it was at [drama school] Rada where I first had that validation and someone actually saying, ‘You know, you can sing’. And I go, ‘OK, I can sing!’ That was the first time I remember feeling that way.”
Taron added that he even got the lead in a school musical and definitely enjoyed it.
“Now I’m desperate to do a musical, and I’m trying to find one,” Taron confessed. Or find someone who will let me do one. I mean, it’s about someone presenting me with an opportunity really, but I’d bite their hand off if they did. I think it’s about time we had some.”
We do need more, especially after the brilliance of La La Land!
Illumination also just announced that a sequel to Sing – Sing 2 — will be coming on Christmas Day 2020.
Sing is set in a world like ours but entirely inhabited by animals and follows the world’s greatest singing competition, launched to restore a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times.
You can stream the album below and it’s available purchase it on iTunes or Amazon.
Be sure to check out the movie when it hits theaters December 21!
Check out the brand new trailer for the upcoming animated flick Sing!
Set in a world like ours but entirely inhabited by animals, Sing stars Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey), a dapper Koala who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times.
Buster is an eternal optimist�okay, maybe a bit of a scoundrel�who loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it.
Now facing the crumbling of his life’s ambition, he has one final chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition.
Five lead contestants emerge: A mouse (Seth MacFarlane) who croons as smoothly as he cons, a timid teenage elephant (Tori Kelly) with an enormous case of stage fright, an overtaxed mother (Reese Witherspoon) run ragged tending a litter of 25 piglets, a young gangster gorilla (Taron Egerton) looking to break free of his family’s felonies, and a punk-rock porcupine (Scarlett Johansson) struggling to shed her arrogant boyfriend and go solo.
Each animal arrives under Buster’s marquee believing that this is their shot to change the course of their life.
