The Runaways Review
The Runaways kicks off with the audacious sight of a drop of menstrual blood landing on parking lot gravel, and doesn’t let up from there. Making her impressive feature debut, music video director Floria Sigismondi takes the story of the 1970s all-girl band’s rise and fall, and spikes it with enough restless energy, rough edges and hard rock to make you leave the theatre feeling properly buzzed…read more [CBC News]
The performance abilities of the Runaways won respect. The rest was promotion and publicity. The film covers the process with visuals over a great deal of music, which helps cover an underwritten script and many questions about the characters. We learn next to nothing about anyone’s home life, except for Currie, who is provided with a runaway mother (Tatum O’Neal), a loyal but resentful sister (Riley Keough) and a dying, alcoholic father (Brett Cullen). Although this man’s health is important in the plot, I don’t recall us ever seeing him standing up or getting a clear look at his face…read more [Roger Ebert]

New Runaways Movie Poster
Apparition has unveiled a brand new poster for their upcoming “The Runaways” film, starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning.
“The Runaways” synopsis: 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.

Brand New “The Runaways” Photos: Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning…
Below we have new photos for Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning movie “The Runaways.”
“The Runaways” synopsis: The Runaways (Neon Angels) is based on lead-singer Cherie Currie’s book ‘Neon Angel’ – a reflection of her experiences as a rock star, but also delivering a strong anti-drug warning to teens and others. David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” serves as a metaphor for the narrative– a slow countdown, a surreal but spectacular rise to fame, then alienation and burnout – a long long way from home.
The movie chronicles The Runaways from 1975 – 1977; formed by teenage girls, Joan Jett (Kristen Stewat) and Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning), living near Hollywood, CA., and heavily manipulated by their manager Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon) as ‘jailbait rock’ (all the girls were 16 or younger when the band recorded their first album). The band ultimately succeeds on their own merits as musicians, becoming the first all-girl rock-band to ever break into the world of arena-filling hard rock acts. Elvis Presley’s granddaughter Riley Keough also reportedly has a role in the film playing Currie’s twin sister.
