"Step Up All In" helmer Trish Sie will now head the upcoming comedy "Pitch Perfect 3" after Elizabeth Banks left the director's chair.
Producers Paul Brooks, Max Handelman and Banks, who launched an immediate hunt for a replacement, finalised Sie after the franchise's first installment helmer, Jason Moore, also declined the project due to unavailability, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Grammy award-winning Sie has only directed one film so far in her career which was 2014's "Step Up All In," the fifth installment of the dance-themed franchise.
"Pitch Perfect 3" which was earlier expected to release on July 21, 2017 will now hit the theatres on December 22 next year.
