Fans of the cultish, colorful '80s Hasbro cartoon hit Jem and the Holograms, prepare to geek out, because the first photo from the 2015 live action film is here!
Jem and the Holograms, for those unaware, centers around a girl and her friends who, with the help of a holographic computer, transform into a rock band.
The photo from the film, released this week, shows Hayley Kiyoko as blue-haired Aja, and Aubrey Peeples as pale pink-haired main star Jem, a.k.a. Jerrica.
Joining them is Stefanie Scott as Kimber, who sports hot pink hair, and all can be seen performing onstage. According to Peeples, the film won't disappoint.
"Nobody will be disappointed with the hair, makeup and the fashion," she said. "We had a lot of different performance looks, each one is truly outrageous."
"I look at pictures and I can't believe that's me. It's so weird."
Aurora Perrineau plays fourth member Shana in the film directed by Jon M. Chu of G.I. Joe: Retaliation and Justin Bieber's Believe documentary fame.
Molly Ringwald and Juliette Lewis are also on board ...
The Jem and the Holograms movie hits theaters in October, but first, in March, a new Jem and the Holograms comic book series is set to be released.
Both are set in the present day, and it shows.
The film version has been described as an "online recording sensation" and "underground video sensation," while the comic shows the group taking selfies!
There are other significant changes as well.
"Kimber and Stormer are gay and we're discussing a few others," artist Ross Campbell told The Advocate, when asked about the LGBT characters.
Stormer is the blue-haired keytarist of rival group The Misfits, and "it's only natural that a modern Jem includes additional diversity," writer Kelly Thompson added.
"Kimber and Stormer are indeed both out gay characters [and] we're going to explore a romantic relationship between the two characters."
"We have some other plans for LGBTA+ characters as well but it's still early days and we're still figuring out how some things can fit together to tell the best story."
The sexual orientations of all Jem and the Holograms characters had never been revealed before; the girls were either straight or it was not discussed.
Tom Cruise played Ron Kovic, a Marine injured during the Vietnam war who returns home and struggles to adapt to his new life, eventually becoming an anti-war activist.
Kevin Costner built a baseball field in the middle of his corn field after hearing whispers on the wind and no one thought he was crazy. (Okay, a few people thought he was crazy.)
"Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together." Ahhh, family!
