Photobucket
As Dakota Fanning is growing older she is taking on more mature roles. Recently the 15 year old actress is shooting for the movie “The Runaways” where she will be seen kissing her costar Kristen Stewart. While describing the kissing scene to V Magazine she said, “It’s passionate – they were just as close as two could get.” The actress is excited about acting in a biopic movie for the very first time which is not fictional.

In the movie, Dakota will be the lead vocalist in the band since she will be playing the role Cherie Currie in the movie. Besides the movie also features stars like Kristen Stewart who will play the role of Joan Jett, Stella Maeve who plays Sandy West and Scout Taylor – Campton who acts as Lita Ford. The movie will be showcased at the Sundance Film Festival on January 24, and subsequently will be release at selected theatres in North America on March 19.

This is not the first movie where Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart will be seen together. Both them had shared the screen space in The Twilight Saga’s New Moon and The Twilight Saga’s Eclipse.
Dakota Fanning says she got very close to Kristen Stewart while the pair filmed their new movie, Joan Jett biopic The Runaways.

“I really enjoyed doing that subject matter for the first time in a biopic, because it really happened — it’s not just a made-up story about a 15-year-old running wild,” said Dakota, who plays Cherie Currie, lead singer of ’70s rock band The Runaways. “It’s a true story of her evolution from good Valley Girl to bad rock ’n’ roll princess.”

Speaking about her kiss with Stewart, Fanning said it’s pretty passionate.

“It’s passionate — they were just as close as two could get,” she said.

The Runaways hit theaters March 19.

First Official Pic from the movie "The Runaways"

This is the first official picture from the upcoming movie "The Runaways" starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. How cool do they look? Are you going to watch the movie when it comes out?

Kristen Stewart’s upcoming movie The Runaways will be premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in January as well as her other film Weclome to the Rileys. Here’s a new photo and synopsis of The Runaways.

Of all the bands to come out of the 1970s Los Angeles music scene, The Runaways are by far the most uniquely fascinating. This is partially due to their music but more so to the fact that they were teenage girls whose wild and reckless lifestyle was the stuff of legend.

Focusing on the duo of guitarist/vocalist Joan Jett and lead vocalist Cherie Currie as they navigate a rocky road of touring and record-label woes, the film chronicles the band’s formation as well as their meteoric rise under the malevolent eye of an abusive manager.

Acclaimed video artist Floria Sigismondi directs from her own script and her luscious camerawork captures every sweaty detail—from the filthy trailer where the women practiced to the mosh pits of Tokyo. What really makes the film cook are the sizzling performances by Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart. Not to be missed, The Runaways is an ode to an era and a groundbreaking band.
