Justin Timberlake to write and perform music for movie Trolls

Justin Timberlake will write and perform music for the upcoming animated movie Trolls.

As previously reported, the singer has already signed on to voice the character Branch in the DreamWorks flick.

However, it has now been confirmed that the US star will serve as the film's executive music producer.

This means that he will help write tunes for the movie, as well as perform.

Timberlake commented: "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.

"This film is very special, the music is going to be very special and I can’t wait for everyone to experience it all."

DreamWorks Animation’s co-presidents of feature animation Bonnie Arnold and Mireille Soria added:

"Justin is an amazingly versatile artist and producer whose unprecedented creative talents provide a unique voice and sound for our movie.

"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."

The film, which tells the tale of the two toy trolls Branch and Princess Poppy, will be released on November 4.
