The Runaways

Kristen Stewart (The Twilight Saga, Adventureland) and Dakota Fanning (The Twilight Saga, Coraline) star as Joan Jett and Cherie Currie in The Runaways, the music-fuelled coming of age story of the ground breaking, all girl 1970's rock band, that paved the way for future generations of female musicians.

Plucked from obscurity by rock impresario Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon, Revolutionary Road), raven-haired rocker Joan, the rebellious Cherie and their band become an outrageous sensations thanks to their tough image and raw talent. But their fast, drug-fuelled lifestyle soon catches up with the teenage girls as success starts to cloud their judgements...

Jett impressed with Stewart's likeness in Runaways
- 02 Feb 2010
Joan Jett is delighted with Kristen Stewart's portrayal of her in new movie biopic The Runaways - insisting the Twilight star's "quiet intensity" defined her. The teenager studied Jett by listening to the icon's music and partying with the star, and even mastered playing a left-handed guitar in a bid to portray the rocker authentically. And Jett is convinced Stewart's dedication paid off. She says, I thought she had a quiet intensity, the physical stuff... just the way we move in space. We... Read more
