Here's Your First Look at 'Jem and the Holograms' (PHOTO)
The flick isn't due out until later this year, but fans finally have their first look at the live-action reboot of '80s cartoon "Jem and the Holograms."
The image, featured in a spread in the March 2015 issue of Elle magazine (and helpfully scanned and uploaded by io9), showcases three members of the Holograms: Jem (Aubrey Peeples), Aja (Hayley Kiyoko), and Kimber (Stefanie Scott). We assume drummer Shana (Aurora Perrineau) is just out of the frame.From this photo alone, it's hard to gauge just how well "Jem" will capture the spirit of the animated series. Sure, the girls sport wild hair colors and over-the-top instruments (especially Jem's giant guitar and Kimber's keytar), but without hearing the music, it's hard to tell just how truly outrageous the action will be.
Still, the image gives us hope that filmmakers did the series justice. After all, nothing screams '80s more than a cheesy laser light show.
"Jem and the Holograms" also stars Molly Ringwald and Juliette Lewis, and is directed by John M. Chu. It's set to rock theaters on October 23.
