What happens

Jem and the Holograms is a 2015 American musical drama film produced and directed by Jon M. Chu, written by Ryan Landels, and starring Aubrey Peeples (as the title character), Stefanie Scott, Hayley Kiyoko, Aurora Perrineau, Ryan Guzman, Molly Ringwald and Juliette Lewis. Loosely based on Christy Marx's 1980s animated television series Jem, the film was produced by Allspark Pictures (a subsidiary of Hasbro Studios) and Blumhouse Productions. Chu's interest in developing a film adaptation of Jem is based on having grown up watching the original series with his sisters. He had attempted to make the film 11 years earlier, but was rejected by Universal due to the cost. Jem and the Holograms was theatrically released on October 23, 2015, by Universal Pictures. The film was a financial failure, grossing $2.3 million worldwide on a $5 million budget and was not well received by critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
