Justin Timberlake has appeared in a number of movies, but he’s about to take on his first lead role in an animated film.
JT will star opposite Anna Kendrick in Trolls, a musical comedy from DreamWorks Animation inspired by those popular Scandinavian troll dolls with the brightly-colored hair that sticks straight up. Justin will play Branch, a troll who’s a “hardcore survivalist.” Kendrick will play Princess Poppy, and the two will team up for what’s described as a “hair-raising adventure” — get it? The movie hits theaters November 4 of next year.
Troll dolls became a craze in the sixties after being created by a Danish fisherman and woodcutter who couldn’t afford to buy a Christmas present for his daughter.
Justin’s movie credits include The Social Network, Runner Runner and Inside Llewyn Davi
