Universal Pictures just released the first still from its live-action Jem and the Holograms movie.

Fans of the classic Saturday morning cartoon - which ran from 1985–1988 - will enjoy deciphering just how authentic the film's hair, make-up, and costumes differ from the original.

In it, Nashville's Aubrey Peeples dons Jem's signature pink wig and punky eye make-up alongside The Fosters' Hayley Kiyoko as Aja Leith and Stefanie Scott as Kimber Benton.

Jem is my name! Universal Pictures just released the first still from its live-action Jem and the Holograms movie

Rock star alter-ego: Fans of the classic Saturday morning cartoon - which ran from 1985–1988 - will enjoy deciphering just how authentic the film's hair, make-up, and costumes differ from the original

Not pictured in the film still were Jem's magical star earrings as well as the third Hologram - newcomer Aurora Perrineau as drummer Shana Elmsford.

In a behind-the-scenes rehearsal snap, 20-year-old Aurora, 21-year-old Aubrey, and 18-year-old Stefanie all practiced hair flips with their mic stands.

Back on January 27, the A.N.T. Farm starlet - who plays Jem's sister - proudly tweeted a cast pic after watching the first cut of the music flick.

Many fans were outraged when the only two ethnic bandmembers in the cartoon - Aja and Shana - were cast with a half-Japanese actress and half-African-American actress.

Even more fans were troubled when the production neglected to involve/consult with the creator of the Hasbro animated series, Christy Marx.

Instead, Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun is producing the pop flick and enlisted his Believe director John M. Chu, who also helmed Hasbro's G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, they are reimagining Jem 'for a whole new generation with themes of being true to who you are in a multitasking, hyperlinked social media age.'

In the original series, Jerrica Benton (Jem was an alter-ego) ran Starlight orphanage and was always battling rival band The Misfits and their manager Eric Raymond over the rights to her deceased father's company.

Oscar nominee Juliette Lewis plays Erica Raymond, a female version of the corrupt Starlight Records co-owner, while Golden Globe nominee Molly Ringwald plays Mrs. Bailey the caretaker of Starlight House.

And the Boy Next Door hunk Ryan Guzman plays Rio Pacheco, Jem's purple-haired leading man as well as her road manager/engineer.
