Movie Story
A rock 'n' roll biopic of the 1970s all-girl band. The Runaways were hugely influential as the first successful all-girl hard rock band; its members included guitarists Jett and Lita Ford, drummer Sandy West, singer-keyboardist Cherie Currie and bassist Jackie Fox. The band was brought together in late 1975 by impresario Kim Fowley, who thought a novelty act of teenaged girls performing in leather and lace would be an easy sell, but the girls ended up proving to be serious and influential musicians with songs like "Cherry Bomb." The band lasted about four years together, falling apart over management and money issues.
The film will revolve around Jett and Currie and follow them from the band's meteoric rise as teenagers to their dissolution and disillusionment.

I just recently discovered The Runaways and I think they're awesome and really talented. Too bad like many talented artists, they are only getting recognized many years later. But better late than never. I'm so glad Kristen Stewert is in it. I think she can play a really cool rocker chick. Can't wait for the movie!

I am a Kristen Stewart fan. She is so awsomeness. Anyways, I think she is a great Bella Swan in twilight(Love Twilight So Much)But that doesnt mean she cant be a good Joan Jett aswell. Anyways. Kristen is an awsome actress, and she rocks :) Cant wait to see new moon in November, so excited =] x.

I am not sure on this one...I am anxious. I am actually a runaways fan and not a fuckin bella swan fan. I want to see if they do ok.

Okay, well, this is one of my favorite bands, however, I would think Dakota Fanning is WAYY to young to be a good Cheri Currie, though Cheri was about 16 or 17 when the band started, and Dakota is only 15. I'm also not really impressed with their selection for Lita Ford.. And I don't see anyone cast for Jackie Fox.

DUDE HOW IS SHE SUPPOESED TO GROW HER HAIR THAT FAST. SHE LOOKS HEDIOUS WITH HER HAIR SHORT AND IT MAKES HER FACE LOOK FAT, SHES STUPID.

Kristian is pretty, but that hair fucked her up
posted by unknown on Sep 06, 2009
i have been a runaways fan since i was born my moms been playing them and j jett since i can remember. i think doing a movie about them is an excellent idea. also for all of you who are saying how horrible kristens hair is for this movie, your dumb. thats what joan looks like its her signature hair cut, and she looks alot like joan so back the fuck off hair grows back. and dekota as cherie is a great match as well shes young but so was cherie when she hit it big.

I'm excited for this movie, but not for kristen Stewart, I don't like her acting AT ALL she's just so emotionless.. Dakota Fanning, however, I'm excited to see. As for this movie in general, I think it will be interesting.
posted by meh. on Oct 19, 2009Kirsten Stewart sucks as an actress and Dakota Fanning is pretty good. I would prefer to see someone else play Bella in New Moon. As for this movie I think that every actress has that one movie they are terrific in. Maybe this movie will the that for K Stewart. Who knows.
