'Trolls' Stars Justin Timberlake, Anna Kendrick Cover Cyndi Lauper's 'True Colors' at Cannes Film Festival
When it comes to the Cannes Film Festival, it's the "Red Carpet Steps" that is one of the most recognizable aspects that draws massive attention from the media. People from all over the globe would flock in the tiny city of Cannes on the French Riviera to witness A-list Hollywood stars, well-known TV and film personalities, and rich individuals in their dashing designer's dress as they make their way in the famous steps of the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès.
Beyond the glitz and the glamor, the international film festival is an important event where European films are showcased alongside popular full-length and short films that are currently being promoted.
Among the reported film titles featured during the occasion is the upcoming 3D computer-animated musical comedy film from DreamWorks called "Trolls." It is due for screening this Nov. 4, 2016 and stars Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Gwen Stefani and James Corden, among others, who are providing voices of the characters.
What better way to kick off the hype than to have two of the main cast members perform one of the movie's official soundtrack.
A video posted over on YouTube by the official DreamWorksTV Channel shows Timberlake and Kendrick standing on stage as they render the classic hit from Cyndi Lauper "True Colors."
In the clip, Justin started off their performance with a joke by introducing themselves as "Anna and Garfunkel." The "Pitch Perfect" star, meanwhile, quipped the former N'Sync boy band member to just keep quiet and just get on with it.
Check out the duo sing a soulful acoustic number of the song below:
Produced by DreamWorks Animation, "Trolls" is directed by Mike Mitchell in collaboration with Walt Dohrn and produced by Gina Shay. The script is written by Jonathan Aibel, Glenn Berger and Erica Rivinoja.
