"If you have a cool mom, she'll definitely know who she is," Blum jokes.

The beloved cartoon aired from 1985 to 1988 and chronicled the adventures of music producer Jerrica Benton, who had a singer alter-ego Jem, and her band the Holograms.

According to Variety, the film will reimagine Jem for a "hyperlinked social media age," and revolve around an orphaned teenage girl who becomes an online recording sensation. She and her sisters then embark on a music-driven scavenger hunt, which sends them on an adventure across Los Angeles in an attempt to unlock a final message left by her father. Production is set to start in the spring.
