‘The Runaways’ Nationwide Today And Kristen Stewart’s Birthday
The Runaways is now in theaters nationwide! The film has created a Facebook Event for today’s celebration and also included a THEATERS tab on the Facebook page to share exactly where you’ll be able to see the film.
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 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.
I so can not wait to see this. From the clips i have watched K Stew does a dead on Joan Jett in looks and vocals. I have always been a Jett fan and am a K Stew fan so this should be great
