THE RUNAWAYS 1st TV Spot

Here’s the 1st TV Spot for THE RUNAWAYS, the biopic of the 70s female rock band starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. Isn’t Dakota only like 16 years old?! Is the world really ready to see her covered in a bedsheet like that?! Maybe it’s just the conservative me talkin’ but the girl is growing up. Feels like yesterday we just watched her in I Am Sam…

The Runaways will be released in theaters on March 19, 2010!

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. 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.
