In case you didn’t know, I lust after Joan Jett. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I loathe Kristen Stewart (a.k.a one-note Bella Swan from the Twilight movie series). Naturally, I was a little skeptical when I heard Stewart would play Jett in the upcoming silver screen version of The Runaways premiering this spring.
However, after seeing the movie stills and teaser trailer, I’m starting to think Stewart might be hot enough and moody enough to pull off the role. Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie, on the other hand… not so much.
As for Jett’s reaction to seeing Kristen Stewart dressed and ready to play the part, she told MTV News, “It was amazing.” Alright, Joan — I’ll trust you on this one.
