Anna Kendrick to star in The Last Five Years

The Oscar-nominated starlet Anna Kendrick who impressed us in Up in the Air, 50/50 and recently showcased her voice in Pitch Perfect will now star as Cathy in the film adaptation of the musical The Last Five Years. Similar in structure as Blue Valentine, it tells the relationship of Cathy and Jamie where Cathy tells the events in reversal order beginning from the breakup, while Jamie starts and tells from the beginning. My favorite song from the musical is Still Hurting sung by Cathy, and to be honest I am intrigued what Anna Kendrick can do to the role. She proved that she can act in several films, even being one of the bright spots in the otherwise cloudy Twilight saga.
