There’s something deeper at play in director Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of the beloved ’80s cartoon, as you can see in the brand-new trailer, debuting online exclusively on BuzzFeed.
Jem and the Holograms was a colorful, campy '80s cartoon revolving around Jerrica Benton and her alter-ego Jem, who was the lead singer of an incredibly popular band called The Holograms.

And while the names are the same in the upcoming live-action adaptation, the camp factor has been seriously toned down in favor of a refreshingly emotional undercurrent, as you can see in BuzzFeed's exclusive trailer.
