We’ve got our hands on a first clip of the Runaways, the upcoming drama biopic movie starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning:
The Runaways – Joan Meets Cherie
“The film follows two friends, Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, as they rise from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary group that paved the way for future generations of girl bands. Joan and Cherie fall under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley, played by Michael Shannon, who turns the group into an outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself—and so do its two leads: Joan is the band’s pure rock’ n’ roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten. Written and directed by Floria Sigismondi, the film chronicles Joan and Cherie’s tumultuous relationship on and off stage, as the band starts to break out.”
The Runaways had a crazy manager, as crazy as the band actually!
The movie Runaways is directed by Floria Sigismondi. It will hit theaters on March 19, 2010.
