Sneak Peak at
"The Runaways"
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning star
in this music - fueled story of the ground - breaking, all girl, teenage
rock band of the 1970s: The Runaways. The movie 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 (as 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. Could be good, especially for Twilight fans who can't get enough of Stewart and Fanning.
