re: Anyone see Pitch Perfect yet? (It was filmed at LSU)

Did a Google Image search and found this website that has several wallpapers that are from the scenes on campus. This one looks like a promo picture.




Here's an www.lsu.edu article that mentions it

The latest film shot on location at LSU is “Pitch Perfect,” a musical comedy which opens in theaters nationwide on Oct. 5. The movie stars Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow and Rebel Wilson, along with numerous LSU theatre undergraduate and graduate students in principal roles and as featured extras.

During filming in the fall of 2011, the “Pitch Perfect” cast and crew made extensive use of campus locations such as the Quad, the Greek Amphitheatre, the Pentagon residence hall community, the empty Huey P. Long Fieldhouse swimming pool and the Reilly Theatre, home to Swine Palace and LSU Mainstage productions.

Producers Max Handelman and Elizabeth Banks said they chose the LSU campus for “Pitch Perfect” because of its many and varied performance venues and interesting filming locations. Banks said she was also impressed with the quality of LSU Theatre students, remarking that “LSU is clearly very supportive of its arts program.”

Fourteen LSU Theatre students appeared in “Pitch Perfect,” including undergraduates Genna Guidry, Madison Holcomb, Dora Pereli, and Benjamin Watt; Master of Fine Arts Acting student Katrina Despain; and recent LSU Theatre undergraduate alumni Stephen Bailey, Jacob Cook, Lauren Gros, Reno McClinton, Shelley Regner, Emily Rodriguez, and Samantha Warren.

“What an amazing experience for our students, and how exciting to have Swine Palace’s Reilly Theatre, previously a livestock pavilion renovated into a theatre-in-the-round, now transformed into the stage for this film,” Sosnowsky said. “To see our spaces on the big screen is a testament to our campus and our program.”
