Earlier today we posted new photos from “The Runaways,” and now we have a clip.
The Runaways follows two friends, Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart) and Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning), 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. They fall under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley (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.
Apparition will open The Runaways in over 1400 theaters on March 19. The music-fueled story of the ground-breaking, all girl, teenage rock band of the 1970s stars Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning, Danielle Riley Keough, Scout Taylor-Compton (TV’s “Arrested Development”), and Michael Shannon. The film marks the first theatrical collaboration between Apparition and River Road Entertainment. Executive Produced by Joan Jett and Produced by River Road and Linson Entertainment, The Runaways will have its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival Sunday, January 24.

What do you think about the new clip? Looking forward to “The Runaways”?
Well I’m excited to see the movie, only because of the subject matter. I just hope Kristen reaches down and finds a way to not make this yet another role she stutters and mumbles through. Sorry it just kills me that she does that in EVERY movie she’s in…. I can’t stand it!
I throughly disagree that Kristen is an incredible actress. She has a LOOOOOONG way to go before she earns that title. Not to mention a wide range of emotions she needs to learn to portray on screen.
