Justin Timberlake as Branch in “Trolls”<\/em><\/p>\n Multi-talented actor and musician, Justin Timberlake who has won nine Grammys and numerous other awards leads an impressive voice cast and serves as executive music producer in the movie for all ages \u2013 \u201cTrolls.\u201d<\/p>\n Timberlake is in charge of the upbeat music of \u201cTrolls\u201d and has combined classics from Earth Wind & Fire, Simon & Garfunkel, Gorillaz and Cyndi Lauper, with original songs he wrote for the film, including the number one hit song \u2018Can\u2019t Stop the Feeling!\u2019. Also starring in the film are Anna Kendrick, James Corden, Gwen Stefani, Zooey Deschanel and Russell Brand.<\/p>\n \u201cTrolls\u201d can be enjoyed by youngsters as a unique world rich with unforgettable characters, music, humor, adventure and color; as well as by adults, for whom the film\u2019s overarching theme of the search for happiness will resonate long after the end credits have rolled.<\/p>\n Indeed, the Trolls\u2019 all-singing, all-dancing, all-hugging world is all about happiness, which infuses every frame of the film.\u00a0 \u201cTrolls\u201d explores how we treat others and, more importantly, how we treat ourselves.\u00a0\u00a0 Its emotion-charged message is that happiness comes from within, and can be a powerful and infectious force when it\u2019s spread.<\/p>\n With Justin\u2019s Branch character, long after the Trolls\u2019 liberation from Bergen captivity, he was the only one who continued to see the Bergens as a threat, but no one in town believed him.\u00a0 Branch lives a discontented existence and is constantly preparing for the worst.\u00a0\u00a0 He\u2019s lost his sense of joy and is flummoxed by the over-the-top positivity of the other Trolls.\u00a0 Branch often wonders if he is the only sane Troll left.\u00a0 Over the course of the film, he is challenged to let go of his past, even if that includes a dreaded burst of singing, dancing and hugging.<\/p>\n Branch represents our fears and how they can envelop us and prevent our inner happiness from blossoming.\u00a0 Ever vigilant, he is consumed with exploring potential dangers and spends his life bracing for the worst instead of enjoying the present.\u00a0\u00a0 While some of his concerns are well-founded because there are very real dangers nearby, Branch must learn he has to keep living his life and not let fear win.<\/p>\n \u201cBranch isn\u2019t much of a people person,\u201d notes Justin Timberlake.\u00a0 \u201cHe doesn\u2019t sing, dance or hug, which makes him somewhat of an outcast\u2014by his own choice\u2014in the Troll community.\u00a0 He\u2019s a hardcore survivalist and a huge contrast to all the other Trolls. He doesn\u2019t connect with anybody,\u201d Timberlake continues.<\/p>\n Citing the character\u2019s relatability, despite\u2014or maybe, thanks to\u2014his persistent negativity, Timberlake jokes that, \u201cBranch is going to be the voice of every dad who sees Trolls.”<\/p>\n \u201cCan\u2019t Stop the Feeling,\u201d written by Timberlake, Martin and Shellback, is a celebratory anthem that brings the Trolls and Bergens together.\u00a0 The song is performed by Timberlake, Deschanel, Funches, Mintz-Plasse, Kendrick, Corden, Icona Pop, Stefani, Nayyar, and a chorus.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s full of optimism, which carried over to its creation,\u201d notes Timberlake, adding, \u201cWriting it actually made me feel happy.\u201d\u00a0 Director Mike Mitchell adds that the song \u201csums up everything we wanted to do with the film.\u00a0 It creates happiness when you hear it.<\/p>\n \u201cTrolls\u201d opens November 2<\/span> in cinemas (also in 3D screens) nationwide from 20th<\/sup> Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is a press release.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Multi-talented actor and musician, Justin Timberlake who has won nine Grammys and numerous other awards leads an impressive voice cast and serves as executive music producer in the movie for all ages \u2013 \u201cTrolls.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9123,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[94],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-release"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/10\/Justin-Timberlake-as-Branch-in-TROLLS-e1477644376463.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9120"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9120\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9125,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9120\/revisions\/9125"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
