The Jem movie has found its bland male lead

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Jem And The Holograms has booked its male lead. Step Up Revolution and Pretty Little Liars star Ryan Guzman will play Rio Pacheco, The Holograms’ road manager, technical engineer, and Jem’s love interest in the upcoming live-action film. The casting doesn’t come as a huge surprise, considering the movie’s director, Jon M. Chu, has long been involved with the Step Up series, directing Step Up 2: The Streets and Step Up 3D, and executive producing Step Up Revolution. Guzman is also set to appear in the upcoming The Boy Next Door, which is being produced by Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Productions, one of the companies behind Jem.
