Banks, 40, posted the video to multiple social media accounts, calling the actors “amazingly talented.” On Facebook, she added, “Happy (early) 4th of July from the set of Pitch Perfect 2!”

The Pitch Perfect sequel—due out in 2015—reunites Astin and Platt with several of their costars from the original movie, including Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, and Anna Camp. Banks, who appeared in the first film as a cappella commentator Gail, is making her feature film directorial debut with the flick.
