Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning Discuss Runaways' Influence At SXSW
AUSTIN, Texas — If Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning's "The Runaways" accomplishes anything, hopefully it will raise awareness of the hugely influential all-girl group, who burned brightly, then faded away in the late '70s. "They existed only for a short period of time, but to when you talk to Joan [Jett, who played guitar and eventually fronted the band] about it, it's clear they're still living it," Stewart — who plays Jett in the film — told MTV...

In questa intervista a The Province , Robin Mathews, truccatrice di Kristen Stewart e Dakota Fanning in The Runaways , racconta i segreti del make-up usato nel film rockettaro.

Film Review: Stewart, Fanning Glam It Up In 'Runaways'
"The Runaways," chronicling the rise and fall of Joan Jett's first band, easily could have degenerated into a movie-length music video, with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning merely glam-rock poseurs. Yet music-video veteran Floria Sigismondi makes an impressive feature-film directing debut, crafting a brisk, engaging portrait, the story making up for its lack of insight into teen rebel Jett and her bandmates with driving, infectious rhythm. For Stewart as Jett and Fanning as Runaways singer...

Fanning: 'Runaways' offered new challenge
Los Angeles, March 20 (UPI) -- U.S. actress Dakota Fanning said appearing in the upcoming film "The Runaways" gave her a chance to embrace a more mature film role.

I just received some pictures of Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning hanging out with Care Bears on Fire and Joan Jett during 'The Runaways' after party at the Bowery Hotel. Had to share.

Bonnie Recommends: The Runaways! Kristen Stewart + Dakota Fanning Are a Mighty Duo!
This is how good The Runaways was - I’m dying for the sequel. The Runaways tells the real life story of revolutionary girl rocker Joan Jett in the ’70s, at a time when girls weren’t supposed to play a mean electric guitar. Kristen Stewart gets out of Bella mode, and is completely convincing as the young, awkward Joan who’s determined to rock as hard as any guy with her new girl band, The Runaways. Dakota Fanning plays the David Bowie-obsessed 15-year-old Cherie Currie who gets recrui...

Interview: 'The Runaways' Stars Kristen Stewart And Dakota Fanning
In the new film The Runaways, Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning play Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, musical pioneers who broke down gender stereotypes as members of the eponymous band.

Unlike the characters they play, however, Stewart and Fanning aren’t letting...
