8 New High Res Images for The Runaways

Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart haven’t just been working on vampire movies , oh no, they’ve been making other things in the form of The Runaways. I don’t know about you but when I saw Fanning in Twilight: New Moon, I wondered where the little girl from films like Man on Fire had gone! It wasn’t that long ago was it?! Her new movie is called The Runaways and as well as Stewart, stars Michael Shannon, Scout Taylor-Compton, Alia Shawkat, Tatum O’Neal and Brett Cullen. Check out the synopsis below and then check out the image gallery beneath that where yu can click each image to enlarge.

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.

Thanks to Collider for the heads up.
