The Runaways, a 1970′s all-girl teenage band with Joan Jett and lead singer Cherie Currie will be the first feature film for Floria Sigismondi who has directed music videos for the White Stripes, Muse and Interpol. The rock ‘n roll biopic will star New Moon co-stars Kristen Stewart (as Jett) and Dakota Fanning (as Currie).
It hasn’t been all smiles on set for Kristen; Joan Jett herself has been on set coaching Stewart on how to play her, but just because it is constructive criticism doesn’t mean it won’t hurt… Kristen was apparently brought to tears last week by Jett: “Joan just wants Kristen to play an authentic version of herself, so she needled her a little bit too much. But she apologized when she realized how upset Kristen got,” said an insider.
Kristen Stewart is absolutely perfect for the role of Joan Jett, watch some of her video’s and earlier performances (she reminds me a little of Kat Von D from Miami ink)
Incase some of you are unsure just who exactly Joan Jett (and Cherie Currie) are, you may recognise them by some of their songs as I am sure everybody has heard at least one of her songs, (these links will take you to the songs on youtube)

It took some getting used to but I quite like this look on her… its like a ‘bad-girl’ bella
And I’m sorry to bring it up again, but does that girl look pregnant. Does that look like a stomach???
I think she looks quite good like that – real rock chick!
Exactly, she looks really nice, i would give what to have a figure like that again… then again i suppose she is only 19 or something… that was a lifetime ago
I think she looks great, and good for her!
I think she looks super all rock n roll,and they look like they could be mother and daughter to me
I love Rock and roll (think Britney spears y’all

I certainly hope you’re kidding. Even though The Runaways were a throw-away band with not much appeal, and Joan Jett and Lita Ford were the only two of the group to have decent—borderline irrelevant solo careers—Britney “The Whore” Spears is nothing more than a Pop-Tart. Remember, pop music was designed to be filler for in between commercials on the radio.
And by the way, “I Love Rock N Roll” was originally done by The Arrows in 1975. Actually, their original version has more feeling to it than The Blackhearts’ version.
