*NSYNC The boys are trying to get 11th-hour media coverage ahead of the release of the Trolls movie, and one way they’re promoting the product is by engaging in collective adoration in front of the cameras.
Sources with direct knowledge of the situation tell TMZ… justin timberlake The other four boy band members are planning to attend the premiere in Los Angeles later this week before the animated film is released on Friday.
We know the get-together will take place somewhere in Hollywood on Wednesday, but specific details are being kept under wraps for now. However, our source did say that all members had begun making last-minute travel arrangements for the event on Thursday.
This probably goes without saying… This is happening at the behest of Universal Pictures Studios, who we’re told want to try and get *NSYNC in front of producers and the public in any way to promote it This movie… they obviously know how popular they are as a whole.
Now that the SAG-AFTRA strike is over, just about every major studio is doing just that — that is, getting their big stars together to try to gain a little momentum amid some of the mediocre box office returns of late. Brie Larson Tried it last week… To no avail.
We’re told that if the strike ends in a month or so… Universal would have planned a big premiere with all 5 members in attendance, but instead, they’re planning this smaller event in hopes of “Trolls” caused a bit of a stir.
No *NSYNC person can talk/insert about this movie – obviously JT’s voice acted in it, but so Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, JC Chase and Chris Kirkpatrick.They all have credits on IMDb…so their work on this seems to go beyond that nice new song.
Now, if you thought this public outing as a group was a sign that a bigger reunion tour is coming – unfortunately, you’d be wrong… sources tell us that’s not happening in the near future. Justin is working on a new album/tour and scheduling is still an issue. Never say never, though.
This may happen one day…just not now.
