for a crucial role in the sequel to his blockbuster animated musical-comedy, but he suspects it’s all about the eclectic spectrum of songs the film employs.
“When we went after him, I didn’t think he would say yes,” Jennings admitted Sunday at Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles panel. But the filmmaker was pleased to discover that the U2 frontman had been a fan of the original 2016 film. “He mentioned the fact that it reminded him of AM radio — in that we had a mix of music, a vast array of music — and he always loved that,” Jennings revealed.follows after the events of the first movie as Buster Moon plans to debut a new show in Redshore City.
Jennings said Bono “loved the idea of this character sort of steeped in grief, and that music would somehow heal him – it’d be a sort of healing story. He almost pitched the character back to me! … So it’s a very emotional story. And he completely nailed that. It’s really quite remarkable what he did.”Jennings also was floored by another voice actor’s performance of a seminal U2 song for the film, when Scarlett Johansson took on “Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of.
“All the actors had to sing their own parts – that’s the deal,” he said. “Scarlett’s just seems to be able to do anything. … She did it to playback originally, and then on the very last take, I just said, ‘Would you mind trying this just live, with the engineer [who was also a guitarist]? He’s going to play, we’ll dim the lights, and we’ll just try to get something very intimate.” And she just nailed it in one take. And that’s the exact take [we used].
The voice cast also includes Tori Kelly, Nick Kroll, Bobby Cannavale. Halsey, Pharrell Williams, Nick Offerman, Letitia Wright, Eric André, and Chelsea Peretti.
