I can already tell this new live-action Jem & The Holograms movie is gonna be a painful hot mess, and after seeing that it's produced by Justin Bieber's manager (maybe he should just focus on managing Justin Bieber. Looks as if he could use it...) -- any remaining hope I had for the film adaptation of it has sort of slithered down the drain for me. Anyway, according to SPIN, The Holograms have been cast and are as follows:
Jem -- street name Jerrica Benton -- will be played by Nashville star Aubrey Peeples (also: Grey's Anatomy, Necessary Roughness). Her keytar-wielding sister Kimber will come courtesy of Stefanie Scott (Disney's A.N.T. Farm). The role of purple-haired guitarist Shana goes to Aurora Perrineau of Pretty Little Liars. And the blue-haired guitarist Aja will be Hayley Kiyoko (The Fosters). The movie is being produced by Justin Bieber manager Scooter Braun, and directed by G.I. Joe guy Jon M. Chu.I mean... to be honest, I feel like nothing they could make would have the appeal or top the genius of Sienna D'enema's take on Jem & The Holograms. Ever since Jiz! came into my life, I'll never really see Jem the same way again! Talk about the voice of a GENERATION!
