<\/p>\nThis holiday season, the new chapter in Illumination\u2019s smash animated franchise arrives with big dreams and spectacular hit songs as the ever-optimistic Buster Moon and his all-star cast of performers prepare to launch their most dazzling stage extravaganza yet \u2026all in the glittering entertainment capital of the world. There\u2019s just one hitch: They first have to persuade the world\u2019s most reclusive rock star\u2014played by global music icon Bono, in his animated film debut\u2014to join them.<\/p>\n
Buster (Oscar\u00ae 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.<\/p>\n
But with no connections, Buster and his cast\u2014including harried mother Rosita (Oscar\u00ae winner Reese Witherspoon), rocker Ash (Scarlett Johansson), earnest Johnny (Taron Egerton), shy Meena (Tori Kelly) and, of course, provocateur Gunter (Nick Kroll)\u2014have to sneak their way into the world-famous Crystal Entertainment offices, run by ruthless mogul Jimmy Crystal (Emmy winner Bobby Cannavale).<\/p>\n
In a desperate attempt to get Mr. Crystal\u2019s attention, Gunter spontaneously pitches an outrageous idea that Buster quickly runs with, promising that their new show will star 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.<\/p>\n
As Gunter helps Buster dream up an out-of-this-world theatrical masterpiece, and the pressure (and sinister threats) from Mr. Crystal mount, Rosita\u2019s leading role in the show gets ripped away and handed to Mr. Crystal\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0Sing 2 is written and directed by acclaimed returning filmmaker Garth Jennings and features additional new characters played by music superstar Pharrell Williams, Black Panther\u2019s Letitia Wright and comedians Eric Andr\u00e9 and Chelsea Peretti. The film is produced by Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri and by Janet Healy. Sing 2 combines dozens of hit songs from pop to rock, K-pop to Latin, and from artists including Billie Eilish, Drake, U2, The Weeknd, Prince, Taylor Swift, BTS, Cardi B, Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello. With electrifying performances, breathtaking artistry and Illumination\u2019s signature humor and heart, Sing 2 is sure to be the definitive feel-good cinematic event of the year.<\/p>\n
