The Runaways


Kristen Stewart is playing a rock star in her new movie:

Twilight star Kristen Stewart just scored a new role playing Rock ‘N’ Roll musician Joan Jett in a biopic about her former band, The Runaways. Shooting will begin in early 2009 and producers have agreed to accommodate Stewart’s commitment to the Twilight sequel, New Moon, which is also due to start shooting around the same time. Known as the first all-girl rock band to have number one songs, The Runaways had an all-star line up with Joan Jett on rhythm guitar and vocals, Lita Ford on lead guitar, Sandy West on drums and vocals, Jackie Fox on bass and Cherrie Currie on vocals and keyboard. The band is best known for their hit [...]

Interesting plot line, I wonder what kind of character Joan Jett is?

Well, I think it depends on what kind of character Joan Jett is. if she is supposed to be a seemingly normal, happy person, i dont think Kristen is gonna pull it off.

But if she's a depressed, screwed up character, then she's perfect for it. She seems good at those roles.

Most 'Rockstar' movies are generally a bunch of pretty screwed up people so it probably would be one of those characters.

She is good at those type of roles isn't she!

Yeah I know. I would hope she’s no where near as depressed as the characters she plays!

I don't know if she fits the part. It will definitely be a challenge for her since this is Joan Jett:



I just can't see Kristen playing her.

OMG.

You're right.

More information about her here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Jett

This is most certainly going to be a challenge for Kristen.

And after reading that I realised that I actually know some of those songs. HAHA.

Lol I'll be really impressed with her if she pulls this one off. I dunno Kristen just looks so fragile and vulnerable and Joan Jett definitely is not.

I guess she does have a gruff voice tho.

Maybe she's a rock star hidden in an actors body and this is the role she's been waiting for?

ahah.

Has anyone seen this?

The Runaways teaser trailer:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mbctJ2BqgZQ&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param&g t;<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mbctJ2BqgZQ&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

It looks pretty good to me.

Yeah Ive seen it. I think it's going to be good but. I'm not gonna judge on just that few seconds.

And I could hardly tell it was Dakota! It's a different kind of role for her

Way excited for this movie. I haven't liked K. Stewart in anything I've seen her in yet, but I have a good feeling about this one.

Will most definitly not be seeing this one. I like the concept but i cant stand Kristen or Dakota. So a big no, which is sad, because if it ws other actors, i would for sure see it. I could barely stomach them in New Moon. I only saw that because i like the books and i was hoping for the best.

I really want to see this, it looks great. And this is more of Kristen's type of role. And Joan was on the set the whole time making sure it was perfect, so I bet it will be really good!
