Wait...if Hasbro can reboot Jem & The Holograms, why does Equestria Girls exist?
You there! Check out my Youtube Channel! The power of Ponies compel you!Yeah, I get what they're trying to do with this whole "fan participation" thing, but I can already see it becoming disastrous. Should certainly be entertaining though.

Well guess what this movie is still happening and we have a cast:
- Aubrey Peeples (Nashville and Sharknado) will play Jem.
- Disney star Stefanie Scott is Jem’s sister Kimber,
- Aurora Perrineau (Pretty Little Liars) is Shana
- Hayley Kiyoko (Lemonade Mouth, The Fosters) is Aja.

The Bayformers movies have acquired something of a fanbase even within the TF fandom itself, it's just that they have to stay silent otherwise they'll be cast to the torch by the rest of the fanbase.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."I'm not actually a Jem and the Holograms fan, I just see bits and pieces of an episode now and a gain watching Teletoon Retro. I do remember hearing that there was going to be a new animated series based of the show, though I may have been hearing about the movie. Anyway I think you guys are going to want to see this. Well, not WANT to, but you probably need to watch this anyway.
Not once did anyone sing the words "truly, truly outrageous". Sacrilege
You there! Check out my Youtube Channel! The power of Ponies compel you!I refuse to watch the trailer. I've heard enough bitching to know this is a In Name Only adaptation. Take out everything that makes it interesting (Synergy, hologram earrings, Misfits) and make it a generic "rise to fame" story where the main chachter ultimitly chooses friends over the evil music company telling her what to do.
Y'know, I completely forgot I even posted in this thread. Back then, I was probably trying to have fun with anticipating how bad this would be. But it seems I made too many assumptions, like assuming the "fan participation" thing was legitimate, or assuming they would make a Jem movie. I could've never forseen it being this bad.

WHY GOD WHY?
Even if you were to modernize Jem, why the holy fuck would you make it live-action? Coupled with this director's other efforts, I'm not holding out any hope for this to be decent, let alone good.
