The third film in the Trolls franchise arrives in UK cinemas today (Friday 20th October) \u2013 this time following Branch (Justin Timberlake) as he reunites with his brothers, who were previously all part of a boyband with him called BroZone.<\/p>\n

And BroZone aren\u2019t the only boyband getting back together for the film, with Timberlake\u2019s own former band NSYNC having released a brand-new original track for the film, their first new song in over two decades.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was such a thrill, such a gift to the movie and to the world, and [it was] so much fun to be a part of that,\u201d director Walt Dohrn told RadioTimes.com<\/a> of the comeback during an exclusive interview ahead of the release.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d been working on the movie for a while with Justin, kind of talking about him pulling his experience of that in \u2013 he\u2019s got a very healthy attitude and we wanted to celebrate kind of the history of boy bands, but also have good fun with them, you know, poke fun a little bit.\u201d<\/p>

He added: \u201cSo, as we were kind of working on that, we started pulling in boy bands throughout the decades, and I think Justin got really excited about this being the perfect time and an organic way to bring the guys back together.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo he texted Gina, our producer, and said, \u2018Hey, what do you think about me getting the guys back together?\u2019 And then kind of our heads exploded, as we say. We said \u2018Sure. That\u2019d be cool. That\u2019d be cool!’\u201d<\/p>\n

Music plays a big part in the franchise, and Dohrn described the process of finding the right tracks as \u201ccomplicated, but incredibly fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cJust working with the music has been one of my favourite things, even though it\u2019s a challenge, especially our medleys which are so complex. It really starts with songs we like, at first it\u2019s like, what songs fit the narrative?<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd also working with Justin, like where would be a good place for an original to help move the narrative forward? But also, there are things like \u2018Would it be funny to have a song here? Does it help the comedy does it help the story? Does it help the mood? If it\u2019s a villain song does it have that sense of eeriness in a playful way?’\u201d<\/p>\n

The previous Trolls film was released right at the start of the first lockdown, and although it was a huge hit and gave families some much-needed entertainment at a tough time, Dohrn is delighted that the new one allows young fans to watch it on the big screen once again.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing that compares to experiencing this with your community, with your family, or just everyone in the theatre laughing together and back into like dancing in the aisles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Trolls one, people really got up and danced. So that feeling \u2013 and I think even the quiet moments where you feel all connected emotionally to the characters.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we mix and build these movies to be so visually dynamic that you get immersed and transported into this wild and unique world. So I\u2019m extremely excited that we\u2019re back in the theatres.\u201d<\/p>\n
