The Jem movie from Jon M. Chu is moving right along, and now Jem and her band have been cast. Plus the poster!
Jon M. Chu's surprise Jem movie has cast the title role AND her band. Nashville's Aubrey Peeples will play Jem, while her band, The Holograms will consist of Stefanie Scott (Kimber, Jem's sister), Aurora Perrineau (Shana), Hayley Kiyoko (Aja). There is, at least as of now, no word on whether or not the young ladies will be providing original musical performances for the film, although Peeples can certainly sing.
The producers wasted no time, as within hours of the announcement came the poster featuring the newly cast Holograms in appropriate looking hair and makeup.
When the Jemmovie was first announced it was described as follows:
Mixing music, art, technology, and fairytale, Jem And The Holograms reimagines Jem for a whole new generation with themes of being true to who you are in a multitasking, hyperlinked social-media age. When an orphaned teenage girl becomes an online recording sensation, she and her sisters embark on a music-driven scavenger hunt – one that sends them on an adventure across Los Angeles in an attempt to unlock a final message left by her father.
We'll let you know when they cast The Misfits...presumably it won't involve Glenn Danzig.
