Sing 2: Release date, cast and trailer for animated sequel
Dec 22,2021
Following the hit 2016 original Sing movie, it’s hardly surprising that a Sing 2 from the creators of Despicable Me, Minions and The Secret Life of Pets will soon be landing in UK cinemas.
The animated movie picks up where the first movie left off, with Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey) planning to debut a new show in Redshore City. This time, Buster's troupe lands the gig by promising to enlist a superstar, Clay Calloway, who is voiced by U2 singer Bono.
Jennings has revealed that, after a lengthy phone discussion about his character, Bono was so inspired by his character that he wrote a new song Your Song Saved My Life, which not only impacted the ending of Sing 2, but has also been shortlisted in the Best Original Song category at this year’s Oscars.
"And I swear to God, we turned out for the first record session a few months later, and I remember he was quite nervous but he was brilliant," Jennings recently explained to Deadline. "And he played the part so well, and I was so happy. I said, 'Oh, you did it, nailed it. We’ve got all those things up.'
"'Perfect,' he goes, 'by the way...' And he pulled his phone out of his pocket and goes, 'I wrote that song.' And I was like, 'What?' He goes, 'Yeah, here it is.' And he started playing it straight off his phone, and I had a moment of horror, which was like, if I don’t like this song, how am I gonna tell Bono? It’s like, that could be the worst moment ever after we just had this great session."
He continued: "I was overcome quite honestly. I was very emotional listening to it with him because not only was this song beautiful... I really love this song, even if it wasn’t in our movie. It’s a beautiful song and it absolutely was the entire ending of the movie being handed to me on a plate. It was so perfect, that for me is one of the highlights of my entire career, because it was just, sort of, beautiful in every sense and I was on cloud nine."
The film’s score is once again provided by Joby Talbot, whose musical composition work has included movies, TV, pop, dance and opera. The soundtrack is rounded out by some modern music, including tracks by Billie Eilish, Sir Elton John and Shawn Mendes.
Meanwhile, the animated film has been written and directed by Garth Jennings, who is best known for his quirky music videos such as Blur’s Coffee and TV and Fatboy Slim’s Right Here, Right Now.
