J. Miller to star in Emoji Movie: Express Yourself

“Deadpool” actor T.J. Miller will soon express himself in a very different way on screen following his addition to the cast of Sony Animation’s “Emojimovie: Express Yourself”. (Miller’s most famous audition tape, of course, is his one for Yogi Bear, filmed with a real bear.) You can see it all below. However, unlike his parents, Gene isn’t a “meh” emoji.

The Emoji Movie may seem like a joke but, in a day and age when a Trolls movie is being released a good 20 years after that toy’s commercial peak ended, apparently nothing is out of bounds when it comes to new movie fodder.

However, optimistic Gene has a problem that causes him to have multiple expressions outside of his control, but he just wants to be like his mother and father. Does he yearn to be normal like the other emojis?

Miller, whose best known comedic role is for the HBO series Silicon Valley, has also previously lent his voice to films such as How to Train Your Dragon, Big Hero 6 and High School USA.
