[UPDATED] OMG: Juliette Lewis & Molly Ringwald Have Been Added To The Jem and the Holograms Movie!

Heyyyyyy, this is interesting. According to a new report, actress/singer Juliette Lewis has just been added to the cast of the live-action Jem and the Holograms movie. Her actual role has not been disclosed but everyone is laying bets on Synergy, Jem’s holographic computer. Though with Lewis’ experience in music (her band Juliette and the Licks plus solo work) I wouldn’t be surprised if she acted as an established rock mentor to the new group or perhaps a member of their rivals, The Misfits. What do you think?

[Update: The Hollywood Reporter just announced 80s Queen Molly Ringwald has also joined the film!!! Again, no word on who she’ll play. I’m gonna go lay down now. This is too much for my brain to handle.
