Aww, I was hoping to be the first to post this. Guess I'll have to be quicker next time : )
In the article I read, it said he had signed on, but they still weren't sure for which part. I had no idea who he was, but I looked up a picture on imdb, saw a gangly, somewhat creepy-looking dude and went "duh, Kim Fowley". Looks like good casting to me. Hey! I think that's the first casting decision I didn't bitch about. Still holding my breath for them to cast Lita, though.

Yeah, I sure hope they know what they're doing with casting the band (they should since Joan is exec. producer). Whoever they cast as Lita has to have guitar shredding skills, be hot, and really step into her shoes, 'cause remember: she strangled Jackie with a phone cord  Whoever it is, they better not be a Gossip Girl or Twilight star or w/e (Kristen doesn't count as a Twilight star because she's been in some awesome movies) I hope they don't go with the Robin character for the bassist. I'll be majorly pissed. |

Wow, Joan looks amazing. That fountain of youth is still flowing somewhere.

I wouldn't be surprised if she still looked like that in 10 years.

Michael talks about meeting and playing Kim. Brad Balfour Q&A Michael Shannon Acts To Find Himself And His Role In The Missing Person
Q: In a funny way, Kim Fowley, who you are playing in The Runaways -- the upcoming bio-pic of the legendary girl rockers -- is the ultimate manipulator, truth teller or truth hider. He too fits into the set of characters that you should play. That must have been interesting; what was that like?
MS: That was very daunting, very intimidating. I met him. [He and I ], Joan Jett and Kristen Stewart [who plays Jett in the film] had dinner one night at a Denny's. He told me that he hoped I did a good job in the movie, because when he died that was how he was going to be remembered, was by my performance. I said, "Well, thanks for the pressure, I really appreciate that."
He was very sweet, actually. He really is a character. I watched as much footage as I could. I don't think I pulled off a spot-on impersonation of Kim Fowley, but that's never been my forte to begin with. I never claimed to be able to do that. But I certainly think what I did will honor his legacy and his memory. Hopefully, when he sees it, he'll agree.
Q: Were you much of a rock and roll fan?
MS: Oh yeah. I love rock and roll; I love music in general. That was a really fun era for music.
