The New 'Jem and The Holograms' Movie Isn't Really About the '80s Show

FUSE TV - The New 'Jem and The Holograms' Movie Isn't Really About the '80s Show

Children of the '80s rejoiced when news came that Jem and the Holograms would be remade into a modern-day Hollywood flick. The animated series—currently streaming on Netflix; queue it up if you're looking for fun, mindless TV to binge-watch!—told the story of Jerrica Benton. The actions kicks off when the record label heir is given a magical holographic computer that turns her and her friends into a superstar alter-ego pop group called Jem and The Holograms.

In the new movie's trailer, premiered by BuzzFeed, Jerrica (played by Aubrey Peeples) is a reclusive teen with a love for songwriting. She secretly records herself performing in identify-blurring wigs and makeup. Her sister, Kimber, uploads a video to YouTube and it blows up the internet, prompting the girls to create a costume-clad act with their cousins. Naturally, the biggest label in the world comes knocking. Troubles ensue when the execs want Jem to be a solo act, causing the frontwoman to struggle with hiding her identity beneath the makeup and wigs.

Needless to say, Jem and the Holograms are looking like a very different group in 2015.
