Well first of all, in case you couldn't tell by the picture above, the original voices of Jem are attached to this project in some fashion. Although it looks like they are there for support for the actors than actually in the movie, Samantha Newark and Britta Phillips are in this trailer! Knowing that Samantha and Britta are on board makes me feel much more at ease. They both hold the Jem legacy close to their hearts (I mean Samantha is Jem crazy and still touring conventions to this day!). Also appearing is Christy Marx, the creator of Jem, and she seems to be very confident in this production.
Secondly I am relieved to see that the actresses capturing both the character Jem, as well as Kimber, Aja, and Shana understand what Jem was all about. They may be young, but they get the vibe, and with veteran actresses like Molly Ringwald on set, I'm sure they're in good hands. Even the once seemly heinous act of gender swapping Eric Raymond now seems to really fit the vibe of the movie (not to mention she's hilarious!). Also I just realized that Hayley Kiyoko is in this. Man I love me some CSI: Cyber.
Still not satisfied? Still pissed that there are no Misfits? Well first off they are claiming this to be a prequel -- even though the Misfits were present in the "prequel" for the cartoon that was the first season -- so that's how they inadvertently answered that. Some people are saying that feature length movies need to introduce characters more slowly, as in we only got like five characters in the first G.I. Joe movie, but those people obviously didn't watch til the end of the trailer. At the end, we got this:
Yeah. That's most likely Pizzazz. And yeah, the rumor is it's Kesha.
