Trolls Band Together, and so do the members of *NSYNC! The cast of Dreamworks’ latest Trolls movie installment gathered at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre on Wednesday (Nov. 15) night to walk the purple carpet and catch an early screening of the film — which marks the third in the series — ahead of its global premiere on Friday, Nov. 17.
*NSYNC fans can thank Trolls Band Together for the boyband’s musical reunion — the quintet contributed the track “Better Place” to the film, in which they star as former boy group BroZone. Members JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Justin Timberlake, who stars in the movie franchise as lead character Branch, all walked the carpet together alongside their partners. Kirkpatrick took his purple carpet appearance even further, posing with his own bespectacled Troll figure, Trickee.
Anna Kendrick, who reprises her role as Poppy in the latest Trolls installment, posed for photos alongside Camila Cabello, who voices Viva (Poppy’s long lost sister) in the film. But there were a few more major celebrities in attendance at the carpeted event — at one point during the special screening, Poppy appeared dressed in her best Queen outfit, complete with a crown and bright blue crocheted dress, to pose with Kendrick.
The PG-rated movie also drew a few famous families to the special screening, with Kirkpatrick taking wife Karly Skladany and their son Nash Dylan to the event. And despite not being in the movie, Backstreet Boy AJ McLean was in the building as well, bringing along wife Rochelle DeAnna Mc:ean and their two daughters out to see the film.
