Timberlake, who has notched 16 top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, will serve as executive music producer for Trolls, overseeing the creative direction for the film’s music as well as performing several songs on the soundtrack. He's also voicing the character Branch, a hilariously hardcore survivalist who hides his surprising true colors.
“I have always envisioned bringing the two worlds of film and music together for one epic event [and] couldn’t be more excited that they will collide in DreamWorks’ Trolls," says Timberlake. "This film is very special and I can’t wait for everyone to experience it all.”
The comedy, which also stars the voice of Anna Kendrick, follows two of the iconic Trolls, Branch and Princess Poppy, as they set off on an epic adventure. Fox has set the film for release on Nov. 4, 2016.
“Justin is an amazingly versatile artist and producer whose unprecedented creative talents provide a unique voice and sound for our movie,” said DreamWorks Animation’s co-presidents of feature animation Bonnie Arnold and Mireille Soria. “Trolls is a comedy with fantastic music at its core and we can’t think of a more perfect artist to elevate this soundtrack to incredible heights.”
he's actually someone to follow through on his word tho unlike Rih so who knows! maybe we'll get a full album even tho for a kids movie that could be pretty awful
