Elizabeth BanksReveals Some Details About The Script .. "I was on as producer for the first film and have been with the movie since its inception, so this next time around I’m just taking on a lot more responsibility," Banks told HuffPost Entertainment while promoting her partnership with Listerine and the brand's 21 Day Challenge on Feb. 13. "I still want to bring as much laughter and humor and joyfulness and great music to the franchise that I can."

Earlier this month, it was announced that Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson will return for the sequel, and Banks says she's thrilled to work with them again.

"I’m really excited to direct the girls," she said. "The whole project speaks so much to me and to women and to making women funny in really fun and interesting ways and that’s what I’m most looking forward to. I’m looking forward to letting the girls let loose."

As for the script, Banks was tight-lipped, but did reveal some minor tidbits.

"All I can say right now is that they will be graduating seniors this time around, rather than incoming freshmen."
