Anyone seen the new Jem & The Holograms movie trailer?

I can never un-see that.   
Will never pay money to see it, will never allocate bandwidth to download it.

I want to find the director and kick him in the arse. The more I think about it, the more it annoys me - LOL!

LOL! I think we should all go kick the director's arse!

Some of those audition videos were really, really good, too. But people were so excited and thought a REAL Jem movie was being made... and that's what they reflected in their audition videos!

And then nothing came of any of that.

I feel they took everything out that made Jem outrageous, no Misfits no Synergy?! What the heck! With today's CG abilities(look at the marvel movies) Synergy could have kicked some serious ass.
I'm sad they made it for teens we don't need another coming of age remake we needed Jem!
To me it just looks like a bad fan fiction

That would have been entertaining at least

I watched the trailer and GOOD GOD it looks like it's shaping up to be an abomination of a film. I'm pretty sure if all of the fans got together and made a movie it would be infinitely better than this... There are literally so many things wrong with it that I can't even name all of them....

Did anyone read the interview that the producer gave?

Specifically this quote: 

It is a hundred per cent true to the spirit of Jem, like 100%, and I think that people will be very pleasantly surprised. So in that way it's good - maybe lowering expectations is good. But I think people will be pleasantly surprised for sure.

Yeah, I don't think so

I am definitely surprised

I saw this trailer on Hulu and was... beyond disappointed.  It looks just awful.  I fail to see how this movie is anything more than tangentially related to the 80's series.

That trailer is the icing on the giant cake of disappointment. So much potential wasted. They could have done something amazing, that wasn't like every other thing they've done but no they went right back to their old standby instead of daring to try something different or staying true to the original series. So much fail.

I'm really annoyed at the "teen coming of age story" angle.  One of the great things about Jem is that from the very start they are successful, confident WOMEN.  They had the Starlight Girls (the orphans) for the teen plots, but for the most part it was about the adventures of women who were already a popular rock group.

Ugggh, why even use Jem's name for this.

Lindsey:  "Jem, the new 'Jem' trailer has hit and fans have been talking.  What do you think of this new movie re-interpreting your path to stardom?"

Jem: "Lindsey, to be frank, I hate it.  I was not asked to provide any input at all, and they told me I was to old to act the part of Jem, or to sing any of my songs.  In fact, they decided that all of my songs were too dated.  I am actually quite baffled as to why this movie is being called Jem at all.  But I guess I'll get some royalties since they are using my hair and name."

And there you have it folks.
