Weekly Posters: Kirsten Stewart Braches Out In ‘The Runaways’ Poster

We saw the new Twilight Eclipse teaser, but it’s good to see the actors branching out to do something else. Pattinson is doing ‘Remember Me’ while Kirsten Stewart has the biopic ‘The Runaways’ to talk about. Here is a nostalgic new poster.

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.

Interesting fact – If you noticed something wrong with Stewart’s hair during the Eclipse trailer, it was because she had just shot this film and still had short hair. Hence, she wore a wig throughout.

I’m not sure anyone wanted to know that, but there you go.
