Jem is truly outrageous, and the main character's perfect combination of super hero, rock star, and girl next door means she's an aspirational character for girls of both 1986 and 2012. Last year, I saw a Halloween-themed episode of Jem and was so inspired. Though the animation was definitely dated, the story was still transferable to 2012, and the series maintained its playability. Is it possible we're due for a Jem redux?
Just the other day, I was perusing costumes when I came across this jem (pun intended)
It was then, that I became determined to pen the live-action Jem script.
What’s that? You’ve already signed some fantastically brilliant female comedy and/or teen writer? Fine. I’ll settle for cast recommendations. If I were to have a hand in the Jem production, I would round out the star studded cast with independent lady musicians who actually rock.
I think Esperanza Spalding would make a great Shana Elmsford:

Neko Case as a little bit older and a little bit wiser Synergy:

Don’t forget Heather Robb as Misfit Roxanne "Roxy" Pellegrini:

Lucius would need to make an appearance. They could probably even be another supergroup competitor.

Who would you cast in the lead role?
