While specific details about the Pitch Perfect sequel have been kept under wraps, Elizabeth Banks is keeping fans in the know with festive and candid photos released from the set.

Will Pitch Perfect 2 Surpass the Original?

Creator of the sleeper hit Pitch Perfect, Banks is making her directorial debut with Pitch Perfect 2, which is set to be released mid-2015. Banks has wasted no time in taking to Instagram and her website to give audiences a sneak peak into life on the set.

The most recent photos include one of the cast together in matching blue and yellow jackets to represent the acapella group featured in the film. Another shows filmmakers standing in front of a large canvas wall of graffiti. Banks has included playful caption with all of her photos. Banks can even be seen smiling in some of the pictures.

Elizabeth Banks Directs Pitch Perfect 2

Us Weekly reported back in May that Banks is very excited about her debut as a director, though she refused to give up any details regarding the script. "All I can say right now," admitted Banks, "Is that they will be graduating seniors this time around, rather than incoming freshmen.

"I'm really excited to direct the girls. The whole project speaks so much to me and to women and to making women funny..." Banks explained, "I'm looking forward to letting the girls let loose."

With Banks enthusiasm for the cast as well as the material, fans should expect more behind-the-scenes photos to come from this first-time director.
