Juliette Lewis has a Mystery Role in the ‘Jem And The Holograms’ Movie

Interesting Jem news.

Juliette Lewis has a mystery role in the Jem and the Holograms film. Rumors claim that she is Erica Raymond, the remixed version of the villainous Eric Raymond from the classic 80s series.

I have also heard that she could be Jacqui Benton, Jerrica and Kimber's mother.

Jon Chu has a lot of this film under wraps and after being on set, I can tell more surprises are coming.

The Latest News from JEM the Movie

Entertainment blog, SHEKnows caught up with Aubrey Peeples (Jem) and Stefanie Scott (Kimber) to talk about the Jem and the Holograms movie.

In the interview, we learn that they have been practicing and playing instruments, watched the series and recorded songs for the film.

And as a bonus, meet the guy who's playing Rio.

5 Actresses that COULD HAVE been Shana in the JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS Movie

First off, this is no hate on Aurora Perrineau. Just wanted to get that out of the way

So, they cast a bi-racial woman to play Shana Elmsford, one of the Holograms in the Jem and Holograms movie.

Is that good? NO! Not at all!

So, you may say "Why is that a problem? She's part Black." Yes, that's totally true, but Shana isn't bi-racial... She is a Brown-skinned African-American.

Some may say, "Well, it's no different when they cast Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury." Ah, but it is.

This Light-Skinned/Dark-Skinned issue has plagued our community for hundreds of years. The old belief is the Lighter shade of Black is better than the Darker shade. That notion was used a lot during slavery and managed drift all through time to the current generation.

Again,  this is no shade on Aurora. I'm sure she is a competent actress with a bright future ahead of her.

But her casting brings up so many deep rooted issues with Hollywood and their depiction of Black people in film. Many girls and boys were happy to see a character that looked like them and challenged a lot of stereotypes besetting Black folks. To see this change, kinda breaks many Shana fans' hearts.

With that said, I found some actresses that could have played the part. They are listed after the jump.

UPDATE to JEM the Movie - VIDEO

Jon has heard our complaints

5 Women who could Rock the Jem the Movie Team

So, I learned that Jem's creator Christy Marx and (Jem's voice) Samantha Newark are NOT involved with the Jem movie. They were told a film was coming, but not much after that.

It was also interesting to see three men at the front of this project. After all of this info, I have to ask...Where are the women?

If they want strong support for this film, they need Christy's involvement and Samantha's input. However, they are trying to find some more gender diversity, I have some choices for them after the jump.

15 Questions/Concerns I have about the JEM movie

As my 'Jem Movie' hangover wears off, reality sets in.

The idea of Jon M. Chu making this film has stirred up some questions and concerns. So, in my favorite form, I will bullet point my concerns.

1. Jon M Chu gave us the horrid G.I. Joe film. In it, the Baroness was evil because Duke broke up with her. Cobra Commander was Duke's best friend and the Baroness' brother.
2. The Jem mythos has been changed, now she's a teen and an orphan. 
3. It's set in today's time, not the 80s. That could be interesting and a mess.
4. It seems that men are leading this Jem movie... Not sure I like that. It needs gender diversity. 
5. Is Christy Marx involved? She created Jem, are they talking to her?
6. Are The Misfits in the film?
7. How will they explain the holograms and Synergy?
8. If they are teens, where are they living? Especially if Jerrica is an orphan, who's looking after them?
9. Does Jon M. Chu understand Jem?
10. How serious will be story be? I hope it's not a comedy.
11. Will more writers join the project?
12. How far will they stray from the original material?
13. Will Kimber be Jerrica's real sister?
14. Are the Starlight Girls in the movie?
15. What kind of band will Jem and the Holograms be?

I'm sure more questions will come, but I hope Jon and his team are on it.
