Most folks probably wouldn’t expect a relatively obscure ’80s cartoon to receive live action film treatment in the 21st century (then again with the seeming lack of fresh ideas coming out of Hollywood maybe they would) but they certainly wouldn’t pick Jem and the Holograms as the aforementioned cartoon. Yet, the first trailer has arrived for the Universal release which is set for an October 23rd debut.
Obviously, I’m not the target audience for this but at least we get to see Molly Ringwald back on the big screen…
From Universal:
As a small-town girl catapults from underground video sensation to global superstar, she and her three sisters begin a one-in-a-million journey of discovering that some talents are too special to keep hidden. In Universal Pictures’ Jem and the Holograms, four aspiring musicians will take the world by storm when they see that the key to creating your own destiny lies in finding your own voice.
Directed by Jon M. Chu (Step Up series, G.I. Joe: Retaliation), the musical adventure stars Aubrey Peeples, Stefanie Scott, Aurora Perrineau, Hayley Kiyoko, Ryan Guzman, Molly Ringwald and Juliette Lewis. Jem and the Holograms, based on the iconic Hasbro animated TV series, is written by Ryan Landels and produced by Chu, Jason Blum for Blumhouse Productions, Scooter Braun for SB Projects, Bennett Schneir, and Brian Goldner and Stephen Davis of Hasbro Studios.
