First look at Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett

Out rocker Joan Jett has always been hot.

And her hair has always been cool for the times. Case in point: Jett at a teenager in the late '70s. Hair style: mullet/shag.


Now that the first photos have emerged of Kristen Stewart as the teenage Joan in the feature film Cherry Bomb, about the famous all-girl band The Runaways, we get to see Kristen in all her mullet-ed, shaggy glory.

Production on Cherry Bomb has only just begun, so we'll be sure to see more photos emerge of Stewart and her co-stars like Dakota Fanning and Alessandra Torresani as Cherie Currie and Lita Ford.

What do you think of Stewart's look? Does she have the Runaways-era Jett down?

Kristen Stewart.... she is

Kristen Stewart.... she is divine. She's so natural which is soo damn sexy.

She's Got the Look>>

 

But does she have the acting chops to play Joan is the real question.

kwright's picture

Umm, yes...

alex's picture

Agreed!

She can definitely act - twilight notwithstanding, she's ridiculously talented. even when she was a kid, she was great - anyone remember her in Panic Room. No doubts that she can knock this one out of the park.

oh, and re. the above pics: yum.

kristern stewart

i have like the biggest crush on her so what ever she does i will love! but i personally think she looks just as hot now with the hair. :) can't wait to see more pics from production
undercovers's picture

uh yeah

I agree with ^^. After watching the disaster of Twilight, I don't know if I can take her seriously as an edgy rocker. Just my opinion.
EggFace's picture

I thought the same thing

I thought the same thing until I saw her in The Cake Eaters. She was amazing; seriously, if you get the chance, check that film out. Her acting is way more impressive than Twilight gave it the chance to be.

Fingers crossed

Fingers crossed she will one day announce she's really more like Joan Jett and Jodie Foster than we thought...

I never thought I'd say this

I never thought I'd say this but....that is a HAWT mullet!  Dang.
woody-69's picture

The haircut...

I don't think it's a mullet as much as a shag. Besides, Shag is such a fun word. If there are any 40-something's reading this, think Leather Tuscadero (sp?) from Happy Days. Wording aside, yeah, I like it. i look forward to seeing what they do with this story.

Thank you!

Someone who knows her haircuts!  Yes, that is a shag, not a mullett.

Also, Joan Jett was 16 in 1974. :)

In any case, Stewart looks great.  Hope this movie doesn't suck.

Kim's picture

Definitely a shag :)

I am old enough to remember both shags (had one in grade school) and mullets (had one briefly in college), and Kristen's do is definitely a shag.

I'm going to give Kristen the benefit of the doubt that she can do a good job with the role.   There are plenty of actresses whose casting in certain roles caused a negative stir, after which they ended up doing a great job.  (Charlize Theron, Hilary Swank, Nicole Kidman are a few who come to mind.)  So, I'll wait until I see the film to make my decision on Kristen and the rest of the cast.

Woah!

Wow Kristen Stewart is HOT in that rocker next door I could totally date her sort of way! I actually can't wait to see her in Cherry Bomb even though I know nothing about the band they are profiling. It will be a nice change from the twilight nonsense.
Cassidy's picture

Hmmm....

She looks great, but I'm not sure if she has the acting chops. Hopefully....

Shagtastic!

I think Kristen can carry this off - she seems to play the quiet-moody girl very well.
catia's picture

I don't know why but  I

I don't know why but  I like her alot

 

 

 

Scream and say something

s a r a h's picture

i usualy trash this

i usualy trash this girl..... but the haircut and sudden holywood-version-of-a-rocker clothing helps to hot up her look.

 still not convinced she can play someone as amzing as joan but i will still buy a ticket to see her try and to hear the wicked soundtrack.

please tell me they are lip synching!!

Style Geek's picture

HOT

Very Hot. I really didn't think she could pull off this look... but the last three picks look great.

I hope they consider her for the New Buffy. I could see it - with a few weeks of training and toning.

I hate the fuck out of

I hate the fuck out of Twilight but Kristen Stewart...goddamn.  Maybe I'll go back and watch that shitfest Twilight just for her. I can pretend that Edward is just a girl (wouldn't take much imagination) and then maybe the movie would be watchable..
cowgal's picture

Kristin Stewart

... anybody else think she looks a little bit like Shane in these pix?
Riddiculosity's picture

Hot!

She looks so hot with that look. she should think about keeping some variation of it after she's finished filming the movie...

and yes I definitely see a bit of Shane in those pix. I love Shane!!

Mariam's picture

She should keep that

She should keep that look....HOT.  And it was so cute when she dropped the moonman on the MTV movie awards lol
Michie87's picture

-faints-

Isnt she just drop dead gorgeous?!!!! who else can sport any look and still look this HOT! . Dont care about twilight girls, is SHE whos hot no the movie xD ------------------------------------------------- Let it Rock,Let it roll
lookatthestar's picture

sooo hot!

She look awesome...weirdly..She remind me of shane..the younger version of shane...lol can't wait for the movie!
Ladyhawk1709's picture

Awesome!

Ever since I saw her in Panic room, I've had a sneaking suspicion that she would one day come out and say that she was gay. Might just have been Jodie Fosters gay vibe rolling at me in uncontroled waves, but I still think she might. This didn't help with that one bit, as someone said, she looks like a young Shane (sort of)... Anywho, my gaydar is known to be horribly wrong at times, this might be one of those times, but dear lord I hope not... Cause that girl is HOT!

well, perhaps if she's done with Joan Jett..she can play a younger Shane in case there'd be an L Word spin-off ;D
