Watch video - The Runaways Official Trailer:
Los Angeles 1975, Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart) and Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning), two teenage valley girls with punk in their blood, meet and become the heart and soul of the seminal all girl band, The Runaways.
Floria Sigismondi brings The Runaways to the big screen in this story of a group of extraordinary young women as they rise from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary band that paved the way for future generations of girl musicians.
Under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon), the group evolves 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.
This is the first feature film for director Floria Sigismondi who has previously directed music videos for Marilyn Manson, David Bowie, Christina Aguilera, Sigur Ros, Incubus, The Cure, The White Stripes, Muse, Billy Talent and more. She was born in Pescara, Italy to opera singing parents and emigrated to Canada, settling in Hamilton, Ontario, when she was two years old.
The Runaways DVD release date: July 20, 2010
