First Official Trailer For The Runaways

kristen_stewart_joan_jett_set_photo_the_runawaysThe first teaser trailer has been released for Kristen Stewart’s latest flick – The Runaways. Having debuted over at MTV, we have a copy right here for your delectation.

After the success this year of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and last year’s first installment, it would be something of an understatement to say that Kristen Stewart is a superstar. Sharing the stage with the young vampire lover are Twilight’s own volturi bitch Dakota Fanning, on-screen serial killer, Michael Myers’ long suffering sister Scout Taylor-Compton and Alia Shawkat.

The story of the groundbreaking ’70s female rock group the Runaways is recounted in this River Road Entertainment production focusing on the duo of guitarist/vocalist Joan Jett (portrayed by Twilight’s Kristen Stewart) and lead vocalist/keyboardist Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning) as they navigate a rocky… road of touring and record label woes under the malevolent eye of an abusive manager during their teen years. Acclaimed video artist Floria Sigismondi directs from her own script, with Scout Taylor-Compton co-starring as guitarist Lita Ford.

US Release: 19th March 2010
UK Release: TBC
