Apparition has debuted trailer for
The Runaways starring
Kristen Stewart and
Dakota Fanning.
Floria Sigismondi – directed music biopic revolves around Joan Jett (Stewart), the lead character in the movie and Cheri Currie (Fanning) and follow them from the formation of the Runaways in 1975 all the way to the end of their career as a group – from the band’s meteoric rise as teenagers to their dissolution and disillusionment.
The band was brought together in late 1975 by impresario Kim Fowley (
Michael Shannon), 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.
