JUSTIN Timberlake, Dan Aykroyd and Anna Faris are set to appear in a big screen version of popular cartoon Yogi Bear.

The film would be part live action and part CG animation and is due to start shooting in New Zealand next month, according to Variety.

Aykroyd would voice Yogi Bear, while Timberlake is in talks to voice his sidekick, Boo-Boo. Faris is in negotiations to play a documentary filmmaker on Yogi’s trail.

Yogi Bear first appeared in Hanna-Barbera cartoons in 1958 when he was voiced by Daws Butler.
