This article says The Runaways is going to the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Sundance, With a New Leader, Hones Its Indy Edge - NYTimes.com
Still, this is Sundance. A-list names like George Clooney and Brad Pitt may not be on the roster, but there are still plenty of well-known people involved with selected films to make for a buzzy festival.
Kristen Stewart, the 19-year-old co-star of the “Twilight” blockbusters, plays a New Orleans stripper in “Welcome to the Rileys,” which also stars James Gandolfini as a damaged businessman. Mr. Cooper noted that Ms. Stewart also has a noncompetition entry: in “The Runaways,” directed by Floria Sigismondi, Ms. Stewart plays a young Joan Jett.

As a Runaways fan I have mixed feelings about this film. This biopic or not a biopic business is highly annoying but I suppose nothing Blackheart does should surprise anyone at ths point.

I think the only reason Joan said it wasn't a biopic is that the movie isn't 100% factual. If you look up the definition of biopic, I think the movie still fits the category. Biographical film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A biographical motion picture—often shortened to biopic—is a film that dramatizes the life of an actual person or people. They differ from films “based on a true story” or “historical films” in that they attempt to comprehensively tell a person’s life story or at least the most historically important years of their lives.
A certain amount of veracity is expected of biopics, often to reduce the risk of libel, but the films often alter events to suit the storyline. Events are sometimes portrayed more dramatically than they actually occurred, time is "condensed" to fit all important events into the film or several people are blended into a composite.

Well, I can be on the red carpet if I want for the premiere in LA.My friend in media & I have already been approved from Blackheart but , there is no way I am gonna go and make a fool of myself on the red carpet . I think I might just piss myself . I would be too excited . My friend said she is not going unless I go. I just don't wanna spend all that money to fly out there when I need money for better things.

Cherie posted the same poster on her Facebook page and said '' The Runaways poster almost here '' . so I think its ''FAKE'' & not the official poster as Chere was teasing us and saying it's almost here. Cherie & Marie also posted they can't wait to see the trailer . so, I looks like the poster/trailer are still in the works. Cherie also said they are hoping for a March release. www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1162396542&ref=nf |

Kristen B/F (that Rob dude) were seen at the cast screening, there have also been reports from people who were at the test screenings in LA.
Most DON'T know the band- they were just reporting on how amazing Kristen and Dakota were.
Nothing about the MOVIE tho.
Links available via some Kristen fan sites.
Members of the press told me the poster is the official one- pending photo approval.
(Yeah, If I were Jackie I'd bitch)

that is funny Jackie's legs/Bass.
If it is the official poster and since they cut off the girls head's - ''Do you think Jackie/Lita would even stand a chance with a dispute when all you see is their legs/guitars ?
I know Blackheart use to sell T-Shirts with that photo on it.
Thats where I bought mine from years ago before Jackie had them pull all merchandise with her face on it.
I don't blame Jackie/Lita at all !
I would Bitch too !

I guess I can sacrifice myself and go to the premiere in LA, you know, take one for the team, I'm just nice like that.  I have never been to a premiere before. No? Not a chance? Ok, guess I will wait for it to come out in theaters. Too bad my son can't see it and he was in it for a small part You know, Michael S. showed him how to play pool at the house. Now he always want's to play. I am raising a future bar hanger outer Can't wait to see it. |
