Jon M. Chu Set To Direct A JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS Movie
This is outrageous..truly outrageous! Anyone who grew up in the '80s should remember the cartoon, and after bringing inflicting a G.I. JOE sequel on us, Chu has set his sights on bringing Jem and her fellow Holograms to live action. More after the jump.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation director Jon M. Chu has signed on to bring another '80s Hasbro cartoon series to the big screen: Jem And The Holograms. The live action movie will be produced by Jason Blum (Insidious, Paranormal Activity) and Scooter Braun, and along with Chu they're asking for fan participation in the form of open auditions for actors, singers, dancers, costume designers -- basically like a Kickstarter campaign, but "instead of money, we want your creativity". Here's the announcement vid, and a little trip down memory lane too.
