Jem and the Holograms movie
 

Couldn't find the old thread for this. The first images from the upcoming film is out and boy oh boy. It's like the 80's got sick and threw up on some unsuspecting teenagers.

Certainly has been quiet on that front for a while..

That's a... Interesting look.

I'd hope some thing more higher budget, and maybe taking more cues from the new IDW comic and the designs from Sophie Campbell.

They look like the took Kimber's hair from Campbell's design. :D
I was never a fan of Jem, but I love the new comics. So maybe this will be fun.

I heard last year that they had like, zero money and shot it in less than three weeks. And when the original creator asked to get involved they told her to go F*ck herself.

Just so we all know what to expect. :lol: I love Jem but this is going to be a complete dumpster fire. There's already whispers about it being one of the worst movies ever made. We'll see. But it probably ain't gonna be "good". :lol:

Trailer for the Jem and the Holograms movie.

This looks better than I thought it would be. Definatly will be better than Josie and the Pussycats.

Now, I don't know much about Jem and the Holograms, but didn't they, like... have adventures and shi!t? Didn't each episode feature riveting drama and excitement by '80s cartoon standards?

And they turned it into an inspirational teen movie?

No wonder filming took, like, five weeks...

Its pretty obvious that this film, was made for a different demographic then us.

But... but you can't do that! That's like taking Scooby-Doo, but instead of unmasking criminals, Mystery Incorporated uncovers bank fraud and exposes unlawful dissemination of information. They're taking the characters and tying them to something only tangentially related to the original property. It's not about demographics, it's about knowing who or what Jem and the Holograms are.

It's pretty clear that some pathetic screenwriter sent this in, was rejected, and then got the thing greenlit by saying, "Woah now, Holloywood! Just replace everyone with Jem characters!"

And thus Jem joined TMNT and Transformers and became the holy trio of 80s cartoon reboots with terrible movies and fantastic comics by IDW.


...Ok, I'm being super judgmental, but this looks boring as ****.

You guys for once can't blame Micheal Bay for ruining this franchise.:D

Seems like GI Joe and Jem got screwed with out Bay and PD envolvement

What does that have to do with anything?? The film looks like garbage, saying it's for a "different demographic" is no justification for it . I'm not all that well familiar with Jem, but even I can tell this is NOTHING like the source material.

I used to think Transformers & TMNT fans had it bad with their movies, but to hear they just shot this in FIVE weeks and not have the original creator involved makes me sorry for the Jem fanbase. This is gonna fail so hard....

Followed by GI Joe and soon enough Ghostbusters.

Luckily for us, TMNT also has the animated series.

But it steals most of the plot FROM Josie and the Pussycats?

Didn't Jem and the Holograms, Had a device that creates holograms that turn them into rock stars? I didn't see that in the trailer.

Josie and the Pussycats is awesome, I'll hear none of it.

And here I thought I was the only one....how could I be so arrogant....on the internet no less!

Agreed - Josie and the Pussycats is an unappreciated treasure. There'll be no slandering of it on my watch! 8)

Another vote for Josie and the Pussycats. That movie is under appreciated as hell.
