The official final trailer has been released for "Sing 2," Illumination's new animated musical comedy sequel to the hit 2016 film from acclaimed British filmmaker and music video helmer Garth Jennings (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Son of Rambow).
Matthew McConaughey again lends his voice to Buster Moon, the ever-optimistic, business-minded koala who, after saving his theater from closure by putting on a singing competition, is now set his sights on a new and bigger musical show. However, in order to launch this stage extravaganza, Buster must somehow secure a rare concert appearance of the world's most reclusive rock star, Clay Calloway (voiced by U2 rocker Bono, in his animated film debut).
Returning to the voice cast are Reese Witherspoon (as harried mother pig Rosita), Taron Egerton (as earnest gorilla Johnny), Scarlett Johansson (as rocker porcupine Ash), Tori Kelly (as shy elephant Meena), and Nick Kroll (as porcine provocateur Gunter). Meanwhile, new to the cast are Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Pharrell Williams, Letitia Wright, Eric Andre, and Chelsea Peretti.
"Sing 2" is due to open in theaters this Christmas starting on December 22nd. Watch the final trailer, above.
synopsis:
This holiday season, the new chapter in Illumination's smash animated franchise arrives with big dreams and spectacular hit songs as the ever-optimistic koala, Buster Moon, and his all-star cast of performers 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.
Buster (Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey) has turned the New Moon Theater into a local hit, but Buster has his eyes on a bigger prize: Debuting a new show at the Crystal Tower Theater in glamorous Redshore City. But with no connections, Buster and his cast -- including harried mother pig Rosita (Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon), rocker porcupine Ash (Scarlett Johansson), earnest gorilla Johnny (Taron Egerton), shy elephant Meena (Tori Kelly), and, of course, porcine provocateur Gunter (Nick Kroll) -- have to sneak their way into the world-famous Crystal Entertainment offices, run by ruthless mogul wolf Jimmy Crystal (Emmy winner Bobby Cannavale).
In a desperate attempt to get Mr. Crystal's attention, Gunter spontaneously pitches an outrageous idea that Buster quickly runs with, promising that their new show will star lion rock legend Clay Calloway (Bono). Problem is, Buster has never met Clay, an artist who shut himself away from the world more than a decade ago after the loss of his wife. Even worse, Buster has failed to realize that Mr. Crystal is an egocentric gangster who would rather drop somebody off the roof of a building than be lied to.
As Gunter helps Buster dream up an out-of-this-world theatrical masterpiece, and the pressure (and sinister threats) from Mr. Crystal mount, Rosita's leading role in the show gets ripped away and handed to Mr. Crystal's spoiled daughter, Porsha, played by Grammy-nominated artist Halsey. Desperate to save the show, and his life, Buster embarks on a quest to find Clay and persuade him to return to the stage. What begins as a dream of big-time success becomes an emotional reminder of the power of music to heal even the most broken heart.
