Anna Kendrick Will "Troll" For Work Soon

Variety reports that Pitch Perfect star Anna Kendrick will lend her voice to play the upbeat princess at the center of DreamWorks Animation’s musical comedy Trolls.



The fuzzy-haired dolls were originally created in 1959 by Danish company Dam Things and have seen several revivals over the years. The film is expected to expand the Troll doll mythology as well as relaunch the toy line.

Mike Mitchell (Shrek Forever After) will direct the film.

Gina Shay will produce.

 The film is set to release November 4, 2016

Here's what director Mitchell had to say in a statement about casting Kendrick:

"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."
