The film follows two friends, JOAN JETT and CHERIE CURIE, 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.
This film is produced by John Linson, Art Linson, and Bill Pohlad, written and directed by Floria Sigismondi, and stars Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning and Michael Shannon. Actress Scout Taylor-Compton plays LITA FORD and Stella Maeve stars as drummer SANDY WEST in the film. The Runaways will be released by Apparition on March 19th.
