Anna Kendrick, star of PITCH PERFECT and DRINKING BUDDIES, is set to lend her voice to musical TROLLS, produced under the DreamWorks banner.
Mike Mitchell, who directed SHREK FOREVER AFTER and ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: CHIPWRECKED, is set to take the helm on this one, with THN guessing that this feature will also be an animation (or maybe part live-action?). Kendrick will ‘star’ as Princess Poppy, a vibrant and bubbly character who will lead the story, with the narrative focusing on how the famous Troll dolls gained their colourful tufts of hair.
Mitchell has commented on the casting news, saying:
“Anna has proven herself to be a brilliant actress with an amazing singing voice. She’ll inject Poppy with the exact mix of spirit, sass and song that will no doubt give a whole new life to the iconic Troll dolls.”
