She’s a master of quirky characters and Anna Kendrick has been tapped for a very special project as part of NBC’s upcoming Red Nose Day.
The “Pitch Perfect 2” starlet will channel the spirit of Indiana Jones in her own version of the role, under the moniker “Indie Anna Jones,” as she searches for the Holy Grail.
In a preview clip ahead of the May 21st event, Anna picks up a goblet as a knight exclaims, “Such a plain cup for such a pretty lady.” Kendrick fires back, “Man, I’m a respected professor of archaeology. Times have changed! I have degrees! Have you been to college?!” The knight replies, “No, just knight school.” Red Nose Day will also include Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, Will Ferrell, Gwyneth Paltrow and Christina Aguliera!

Oslo, April 15 (Reuters) - Environmentalists have placed a flag on the seabed under the North Pole to urge protection for the region in a rebuff to Russia which planted a flag in 2007 in a symbolic territorial claim.
Four campaigners, backed by Greenpeace, cut a hole in the ice at the North Pole at the weekend and dropped the flag and a capsule with almost 3 million signatures asking for the region to be off-limits to exploitation, Greenpeace said on Monday.
A Russian submarine planted a flag on the seabed in the same area, about 4,261 metres (13,980 ft) deep, in 2007 to support its claim that it has the right to any oil or mineral resources between its coasts and the North Pole.
The Arctic holds 15 percent of the world's undiscovered oil and 30 percent of undiscovered gas, according to U.S. official estimates, raising fears of a "cold rush" in the remote environment despite high costs,...

British actor Benedict Cumberbatch is reportedly dating the daughter of American heiress-turned-bank robber Patty Hearst.
The War Horse star ended a 10-year relationship with his longterm partner, actress Olivia Poulet, last March and his subsequent romance with fashion designer Anna Jones came to an end in January.
Cumberbatch has now reportedly moved on with model/actress Lydia Hearst, 27, who split from actor Jeff Goldblum last year.
The pair has been spotted on several dates, and they went to Sir Elton John's annual Academy Awards viewing party together on Sunday night, according to Britain's Daily Mail.
Hearst's publishing heiress mother Patty was famously kidnapped by a left-wing guerilla group in 1974 and she went on to rob a bank with them in California. She was later arrested and sentenced to 35 years behind bars, but only served two after her jail time was cut by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.
