Wow, if that's true I'd think of it as a slap in the face. I'm sorry, but if this is: 1. Based of Cherie's book 2. Is supposed to be about a BAND Then WHY is the person playing Joan currently the next coming of Elvis in the 12-30 YO group. and the person playing Cheries only credit as "cool cheerleader" in ONE movie, a POSTER model for the Church of Scientology and big claim to fame as NICK SIMMONS'S ex girlfriend? How's that work? ? Bah, I need a martini.

Sorry Gus-we are just going to have to agree to disagree on this. Student films, non paying gigs, and non SAG stuff for the person who is playing the STAR? ? again, Cherie gets an unknown and Joan get Kristen S? I think it's BS. If I were her, I'd be pissed.

Hi everyone! As far as looks goes, I think she could pass...but the real test is in her musical talents. Like, could she front a rock band? As Runaway fans, of course we're going to be way harsh! ;D

That's the type of reaction I had when I heard who would be playing Joan. I'm guessing Cherie is your fave. No one is ever going to be good enough to play your favorite girl, (I've realized) so you just have to make peace with whoever they pick (But if Kristen Stewart mucks this up, I'll send her hate mail for the rest of her life). That being said, I'll probably flip out if someone stupid plays Lita. Also, I think calling Cherie the "STAR" of the Runaways is hardly warranted. Sure she's got the look and the singing chops, but, come on. Unless all you meant was that it is based on her book. Then I'll let it slide : )

The comment was based on the screenplay being based of Cherie's book. If it were based off my book and I had a no one playing my part, I'd be a bit bent-esp when a superstar gets the other role. The Currie role is also supposed to be a starring role. Cherie is not my fave member either, I'm saying it looks like the Jett role is the prime role, and everyone else is background. Don't seem right to me. If it was based of a Joan Jett book-sure, I'd get that. But based off Cherie's book, (if it is like they say) then Cherie's role SHOULD be played by a big name. Again, if this was a project based off my life story, I'd be bent.

Welcome to the board darkpeace! I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and figuring the casting co-ordinators saw something in Cody Kennedy that made her seem perfect, for the role! I sure hope so. I do understand the Hawkeye perspective though, for sure! Gus

I getcha. My bad. But just because she's a nobody doesn't mean she'll suck. Have faith : ) Also, just because KS is a "somebody" (which I still don't believe she is to anybody over the age of 17) doesn't mean she'll necessarily outshine everyone else. I'm still convinced she won't be able to play Joan properly. Guess I'll just have to hope to be proven wrong.
Besides, some well-known actors are lousy. Wouldn't you be even more mad if, oh I dunno, Hillary Duff was playing Cherie?

[quote author=insertusernamehere[/quote] calling Cherie the "STAR" of the Runaways is hardly warranted. Sure she's got the look and the singing chops, but, come on. [/quote] Cherie was the "star" of The Runaways, inasmuch as she was singled out, more than the others, at the time. Of coarse, they were all stars but the "frontman" (women in this case) in a band, always tends to get the most attention! Gus

IMHO...just from watching video clips, Cherie just has that "something" that really grabs your attention. Cody must possess that something special to capture that magical stage presence.

Everyone has got a point here with their comments. I remember reading somewhere that Joan wanted teen girls to play the parts, and indicated it just had to be the right, natural fit, not a famous movie star. However, it sounds like they got lucky with Kristen Stewart because not only is she a versatile teen actress, she is probably the only one of her age that has been recognized by TPTB in the biz to such an extent, even before the Twilight mania. Sean Penn ASKED her to be in ITW, and then she has also played the daughter to several famous stars, Jodie Foster, Dennis Quad, Sharon Stone, Meg Ryan and Robert DeNiro. One of her Indie films didn't hit theaters, but I believe it is coming out on DVD next month. It is called The Caker Eaters. She plays the main character, and it's about a young girl with a terminal disease and it's impact on the people in her life. James Woods is also trying to pull together a film with Kristen called The America Girl, which is about a young woman who is a double amputee marine home from Iraq. Now with Twilight bringing Kristen international stardom, this could be a really good thing for bringing the Runaways top recognition all over the world. Kristen's co star in Twilight, Robert Pattinson, said she intimidated him during filming and doesn't back down when she wanted things changed in the script. In other words Kristen sounds like a tough little enigma in real life, so she will definitely get the attitude down. With Joan being an exec producer, I have a feeling the whole thing will come together nicely. It does center around Joan and Cherie. Kristen spend New Years with Joan and has indicated in interviews no job has ever excited her this much. Stardom and the money that has come with the Twilight series has not taken Kristen off her course, which is to make good film with characters that she is compelled to do. Even though Cody doesn't have the resume of Kristen, there probably aren't any that do, so we have to trust the production team to give us something extraordinary.
