Kristen Stewart is cast as Joan Jett for The Runaways biopic

 that's probably the best casting for that role i could have imagined.

stewart has such a masculine energy, some even think she resembles a young kate moennig.

i'm really excited to see how this turns out. 

Kristen's decked out in Shanewares in that last pica.

She's rocking it better than Shane could ever hope to.

Good casting choice?

*throws up rock hands* Heck yes.

kristen can totally pull off the hard rocker / slightly masculine-look, and there's no doubt (twilight-aside), that she's a talented actress. wasnt that excited for a biopic, but now that i know she's been casted, im a heckuva lot more excited!

and wait, what's this about lizzy caplan?!? was she ever actually considered for the role? cause she's absolutely awesome. (hello, nude scenes in true blood, anyone???) oh, and she can act, too.

I knew nothing of Kristen before Twilight, in which I thought she was GREAT (of course you couldn't really tell anything from Panic Room)... but I think that she could pull it off! She seems to have some spunk, I'm looking forward to it!!!

Sure she was cast because Twilight is somewhat of a hit (and her smokin habits are so rebellious) but she seems like she could play the part. Will she play it well? Who knows. 

I'm really more curious as to who will round out the entire cast. 

can't wait for the cheesy lip synchin. 

I confess that all I've seen from her is clips of her role in Twilight, but that does not make me sanguine about her playing Joan Jett.

She seemed very strained and wooden in Twilight but maybe that's how that character wa supposed to be played.

Maybe Chloe Sevigny or someone a little edgier? I know Chloe doesn't immediately look like Joan, but I think with some hair dye and the right clothes she could pull it off. She's a good enuff actress that I can see her doing it.

And to the person above who said Kristen does a better Shane than Shane. Ummm, I don't think so.

Joan Jett is a female rock icon. I've seen Twlight over the weekend and Kristen Stewart is a darn good actress but that's all I know about her resume is that. I don't know. I'll just wait and see. I can't judge her on whether she'll make a good Joan Jett or not. Actors can fool people you know. What you think they don't have, they actually do. 

That girls ooooooooozes dyketude.  She's totally going to pull of the Jett.  I've never even seen her in a movie, but the gaydar's all like WOO WOO!

She's gonna be great
Kristen is genuinly an AMAZING actress and could totally pull off young Joan Jett, to me she's always seemed rock n' roll, despite the rolls she plays.

Though I could just be being super biased here because I have the biggest crush on her :D
But i'm very very very excited about this!

coz i don't want anybody to get disappointed with my crush of the year!!!!! she's hot

but im sure she can pull it off....she's a talented actress! so yeah i'll be watching the movie because of her!

^-^

I actually read that Joan Jett is executive director... so if Joan thinks she's right, then she's right!

I was just watching an interview yesterday where Kristen referenced auditioning for a role that she was extremely excited about. I can't tell if it is this role, but if you enjoy watching any of her interviews (which I do), here it is:

I'm totally on the Kristen stewart love train :D

I think she's a babeee

Heck yeah! I've been saying to my friends for some time now Keisten Stewart looks like the long lost daughter of Joan Jett.

the devil is in the details

I’m not familiar with her as an actress but she’s certainly gorgeous.

Has anybody seen Into the Wild? She played a folk-rock hippie singer songwriter girl in it and was really cute/sang well. Anyway, I just thought that was maybe closer along the acting lines than Twilight...

i didnt like kristen in twilight, because i pictured bella as the stereotypical damsel in distress, to helplessly clumsy to help herself. instead, kristen gave me a masculine vibe, which didnt work for bella, but i think it might for joan jett.

hope she can pull it off. 

I think I read somewhere that Joan Jett was Kate's dream role. Poor thing; she's not getting any great movie opps.

 Honestly though, I think Kate would have rocked it.

Do not judge, unless you want to be judged...

she's rockin' a specials t-shirt so she's ok in my book

am i the only 1 here who saw "Catch that Kid"?  Jennifer Beals played her mom and she robbed a bank with the help of her 2 friends and baby brother strapped to her back.  plus they used go karts as a getaway car...very cool.

 Also "Speak" which played simultaneously on Showtime and Lifetime for rape awareness day or something...She was raped and she stopped speaking but no one really noticed she stopped speaking...i think there was an art class involved somehow, also Elizabeth Perkins played her mom and Eric Lively played the rapist.

she was also in "Into the Wild" which i did not see but heard she was good in.

i'm glad with this casting choice. i think kristen is a great actor...haven't seen twilight....im only going to see it b.c im a fan of her....but ive seen some of her other films...and her peformance in speak is enough for me to see any of her movies. seriously...well done.

you stay. i'll stay. we'll be alone.

I think Kristen fits this role more than she did as Bella. Sure, she's glammed up in her photo shoots, but if you see any of her interviews, the whole glamorous Kristen seems unnatural. She also seems a little cynical than the Twilight character she was supposed to portray, so rocking as one of the Runaways should be a better fit I'm guessing.

She look a lot like a young joan jet and she can act and for the no BS. in venezuela the word is 

" antiparabolica " a star of a holliwood teen movie who doesnt care by  photos like this

and 1 of 2 she plays the guitar or she is already taking clases for the movie

and dont forget you cant beat the Jodie Foster Seal if she was good for the role of jodie daughter she has to be and excellent actresss, im looking forward to this movie already and i to see the kate moening likeness vibe

I always thought that Katherine Moennig should play Joan because I find their mannerisms to be quite similar and they both ooze that coolness you either have or don't have, but can't possibly just play.

Kristen Stewart resembles her, and she did a good job in "Into the Wild", so she's certainly not the worst person they could cast for the job.

I fell in love with Kristen Stewart the first moment I saw her.  I haven't seen many of her movies, but she did an amazing job in "Into the Wild."  It's a great movie.  If you haven't seen it, you definitely need to.  Her role didn't last throughout the entire film, but she definitely had an important part and did it well.  I am totally on board with this.  Can't wait to see the end result!
