'Jem and the Holograms' Could Be Making a Live-Action Comeback
Amazon's Prime Video is developing a live-action series based on the 1980s property 'Jem and the Holograms'. The project will be led by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the creators behind 'Fallout' and 'Westworld'.

The nostalgia wave didn t translate into box office magic for Masters of the Universe , but Amazon isn t ruling out another attempt at the cartoon-to-live-action formula.
