Justin Timberlake has signed on to voice the villain in musical comedy “Trolls” for DreamWorks Animation and 20th Century Fox. The “Social Network” star will play Branch, a Scandinavian troll who hides his evil side. Anna Kendrick voices ‘Princess Poppy’ in the film, based on the popular toy line (THR).

Emily Ratajkowski (”We Are Your Friends”) and Spencer Boldman (”Lab Rats”) will star in “Cruise” for writer-director Robert Siegel. “Set during summer 1987, it centers on Gio Marchetti (Boldman), a working-class Italian-American who has little on his mind but racing cars and chasing girls. That is, until he meets Jessica Weintraub (Ratajkowski), a nice Jewish girl from Long Island who goes to Gio’s neighborhood for some illicit thrills on the wrong side of the tracks. Principal photography set to begin this fall in New York.” (Deadline)
