Rock out to the first trailer for "The Runaways"

You saw the pictures, now see them move. The teaser trailer for The Runaways was released today and it certainly doesn’t bomb — cherry or otherwise.

Our first glimpses of Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie are a blur of big guitar riffs and bigger bad ass attitudes. I know it’s only rock ‘n roll, but I like it.

While the clip doesn’t give us much in terms of plot or dialogue, it sure sets the scene. And in case there were any lingering doubts, Kristen and Dakota look almost frighteningly their parts.

Have I mentioned Dakota is only 15 years old? I think that makes the bustier/garter belt ensemble she is wearing illegal in several states.

Actually, for all the hype Kristen receives as Bella, I think Joan Jett may be her perfect role. It lets her employ that signature pout. Plus, she gets to smash stuff. Playing a chaste sparkly vampire’s girlfriend has to build up the frustration.

Now the only question remains, are you ready to rock?

Well...

At least it's good to see that KStew has recovered from Dakota Fanning trying to kill her in New Moon.

Serioulsy, though: brilliant teaser.

And storms will surely come,
But true love is a choice you must make
And you're the one that I have set my heart to choose.
As long as I live, I swear I'll see this through.

Yeppers

I thought the exact same thing, she looks so much like Shane it's ridiculous :D

 

True feelings can never be put into words.
therfore when you can't explain how you feel about someone that's when you know..

This is going to be so effing cool. I can't wait to see a longer trailer. Definitely beats the pants off the Twilight series.

:(

I was hoping Dakota was still like 14 years old...and stayed that age for life.
Briony's picture

I'd love to see all those

I'd love to see all those girls' faces when they watch the movie purely because KS is in this and find out that life exists outside of brooding vampire boys...Trailer was awesome and can't wait for the movie. And what happened to Dakota Fanning!?!? I'm betting she was just waiting to get out of the kids roles and into something a little more real...ding ding ding winner!

Very excited to see this.  Looks fab!

kristen stewart rocks my...

lady parts so much.  i don't think i've been this excited about a film since i grew up and realized that fried green tomatoes was a love story between idgie and ruth.  so bad-ass.  so sexy.  so inspiring.  joan jett was an idol of mine growing up and, again, when i started realizing things about my sexuality, it all started making sense.  i was like, "i don't want to have sex with dylan mckay (from 90210), i want to BE motherfreakin' dylan mckay!"  hilarious.  my world changed over night.  i saw all these bad-ass ladies for who they really are/were....katharine hepburn, marlene dietrich, jodie foster, virgina woolf, eleanor roosevelt, annie leibovitz, gertrude stein, janis joplin, lily tomlin, emily dickinson, amelia earhart, rita mae brown, and of course, miss sappho herself (the queen of ladies who love ladies)....this is just a small list of all the amazing women that we are all so fortunate to have on our side.  this movie makes me wanna go bang on some drums and get another tattoo right this second.  i need a nap/"lady alone time" right now:)  wow.    
Anonymous's picture

wow

kaherine hepburn? amelia earhart? really? damn!
dancelikeamom's picture

guuurrrl, katharine was the "shane" of her day...

i'm telling you, read about her online or check out one the old hollywood books about all the closeted gay birds that are no longer with us...cary grant is another one that people don't know about...but he sure as hell had a hot fella a time or two--seen photos to prove it:)  rad profile pic, by the way.

"shane" of her day... i like that..

Thanks :)

Two thoughts

ran through my head simultaneaously when the clip ended:

"Looks great!"

&

"NOT COOL!" Because: "Have I mentioned Dakota is only 15 years old?" Ugh, jeesus, why.

Other than that, It looks very...'70s. I like that it will get the Sundance treatment before it's nationally distributed. Interested to see the buzz coming out of Sundance.

 

Psynomi's picture

Yep

My thoughts exactly. I'm a bad bad person, crushing on a 15 yo, bad bad bad.

Thankfully Kristen's legal :)

BritishLily 's picture

:D

Can't wait for this movie to come out! I hope it comes out here in the UK.

It feels weird thinking Dakota Fanning looks hot in this movie when she's only 15 and I see her as the little girl from all those kids movies she was in (can't name them all) but yeah... she looks hot! There, I said it.

And Kristen Stewart seems to lick/bite her lip a lot. I like it! :D 

Mara's picture

The trailer looks quite promising

I'd go watch it - based on what I've seen so far :)

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

That was me screaming... I feel like a tween (I'm 22) but I'm just excited to see (my LOVE) KSTEW in a role where I know she can kick ass (not just a vampire's girl). They do look frighteningly like their characters. I think it'll be a good career transitioning movie for the both of them.

Shandizzle's picture

Am I the only one...

Who wishes that Alia Shawkat and Kristen Stewart were the ones who were going to hook up? I mean, I know that wasn't the way it went down, but hell...at least the pairing would be legal. And therefore, we wouldn't have to feel like such pedos for liking the action.
peewee's picture

Oh no

your not the only one. That's going to be uncomforatably hot to watch.
staringattheceilingabove's picture

hey I think it's Kristen's

hey I think it's Kristen's voice singing cherry bomb in the trailer, not bad
del-sur's picture

yeah

i agree, those aren't the original voices....i didn't notice before, it sounds good!
ZenKat7's picture

CHERRY BOMB!!!

<picks up jaw off ground after watching trailer"

I remember being 12 and running across the first runaways record in the local Record Bar.....i think i've been a wannabe grrrllll rock star every day since. 

the movie looks REALLY authentic and well-done...can't wait.

 

be who you are and say what you feel because the people who mind don't matter and the people who matter don't mind...t.seuss

Whoa!

I was interested in this film but I wasn't going break my neck to be the first in line to see it.  BUT- after seeing this trailer!  It brought me right back to 1977 when I was 14 years old and saw the Runaways at the mall with my friends!  They were so cool and showed everyone how chicks rock just as hard, if not harder than any stupid guy band!  So, yeah, I'll be at the theater and I'll be screamin', " I was there Baby!  I was effin' THERE!"

Cheers!

so excited.

oh god I cannot wait for this movie. oh kristen stewart, how I love you. 

But I echo all the ickiness about Dakota Fanning. My first thoughts when I saw her were "Dakota you are six years old, wipe that makeup off your face missy." I can't see anyone as a sex object that I have seen on Ellen getting excited about her pink retainer case.

I kinda wish the kiss was with someone else because I am going to be weirded out.. but it's still better than nothing! haha  

peewee's picture

Awwwwwwww

mah gawd that was adorable...I am so going to hell.

lol

hahaha yeah I feel like you'll have a lot of company :P
persephone's picture

I just watched this trailer

I just watched this trailer three times in a row.  It looks great!  I was thinking about seeing it before but now I am really excited for it.  

At first I was a little weirded out about Dakota Fanning, too, but ever since I saw her in New Moon as Jane I can see her in these roles as a different person and don't think of her as she was when she played much younger.

I'm sooo ready! I mean this

I'm sooo ready! I mean this is going to be HOT

Ohmygod

I'm so frikin excited! Kristen looks so hot with the guitar and throwing stuff. My major crush has grown to an obsession now lol I'm definietly going to see this soon.

I'd like to take you down, and show you
deep inside, my life my inner workin
so smell and lack of inner pride,
to touch upon the surface, is not for
what it seems, I take away
my problems, but only in my dreams.

i love that.

i love this look on kristen; total lez. she almost looks gayer than kate. almost. [and obviously i mean that in the most complimentary way possible.]

and dakota fanning looks hot, too, and i'm okay with saying that since i'm only just a bit older than her. too bad we don't have more young actresses out there playing parts like this, although i'm sure not many could pull it off.

i cannot wait to see this movie.

Linda's picture
