Kristen Stewart learns how to become Joan JettKristen Stewart is currently starring in the comedy Adventureland, but it seems like it's the least important film she's involved with lately. Interviews with the young actress seem to focus on her Twilight stardom and her upcoming turn as Joan Jett in the still unnamed film about The Runaways.
We've been keeping tabs on the film's progress, ready to spot the first hint of lesbian action that Stewart will get as a young Joan. In an interview with SuicideGirls this week, Stewart said she has been hanging out with the rocker whenever she has free time. Tough job, right?
"She like penetrates you with her gaze, literally," Stewart said of Joan. "She's a badass. She's like the ultimately cool [rocker] and like really deep too." She's very thoughtful. Do you have any other thoughts on her, Kristen? Oh you do? Please, go on: She could sit in a room full of chattering people and music and whatever and she's just sitting there. Then like something crazy'll happen and you're like, "Joan, did you see that?" And she'll be like, "No." She's very thoughtful and she loves what she does. She cares about so many people. She's an activist. She's really amazing ... I'm just listening to her music all the time. I spent New Years with her. I'm trying to just make myself aware of the time period and what she was going through. Joan Jett in the 1970s New Years Eve with Joan Jett? Again, tough job. (No word on if Nikki Reed was also in attendance, for those of you who were probably with me on the whole "midnight kiss" imagining.) Kristen Stewart with Nikki Reed and Kat Denning Stewart told SuicideGirls that she feels Joan's life is "an incredibly triumphant feminist story" and that Joan is "one of the coolest people to ever live" and "one of the nicest, most soulful women I've ever met." OK, now she's just bragging. On the actual film, Stewart said she isn't sure if she will be singing Joan's parts, but she hopes to be able to perform the music: "I want to very badly but I also want it to sound right and I don't know if it'll be a combination where they lay our voices on top of each other or if it'll be just her or just me. We'll see. We'll see how able the other actors are to play the music themselves."
Even if she doesn't get to sing the part, she at least gets to look it, which includes sporting some of Joan's famous ink, such as the tattoo Joan and Cherie Curie both got in Japan while on tour. Stewart said the relationship between the two frontwomen is one of the things she is looking forward to filming the most. "I like the big conflict," Stewart said. "Cherie can't really handle the success, nor does she want it necessarily in that respect. Joan is a very steady, self-assured and she knows this kick started her whole career. So to watch it all fall apart and her still stand, I'm excited about that. It's a really explosive scene. Amps are kicked through and guitars are smashed." Great, now get New Moon over and start filming this amazing sounding movie about the nice, soulful woman you've been hanging out with. Submitted by on April 3, 2009 - 11:00am. |

I wish she was gay, not that it would increase my chances with her at all, but you know, it'd be cool if she was. She's got a dyke twang to her voice.
Yeah, I watch twilight over and over again for her and the other women that were so greatly cast in that movie. Those girls are so gorgeous! Where the hell is this high school? I wish my school had girls like that.
If only

I have loved her since Panic Room, and she was really good in In the Land of Women...

Mixed feelings...
While I haven't watched any of her films, I'm still finding myself with a tiny Kristen Stewart crush, but I can't get over her inappropriate use of the word "literally".
What to do? *sigh*
My thoughts exactly Re: Literally
I mean, I don't want anything literally penetrating my eyes, even if it comes from Joan Jett.
Side Note: Kristen Stewart was great in Speak.
is there ever an appropriate use of the word...
literally.
It's, literally, the most useless word in the English language.
Oh and Kristen Stewart is, literally, so gay!

O MY GIDDY GIDDY GIDDY AUNT KRISTEN STEWART ANYONE??? me please!
Kristen Stewart is Incredibly Hot and a Great Choice!
Ever since I saw Kristen Stewart in the film Into the Wild, I thought she was incredibly hot. When I saw her again in Twilight my initial reaction was confirmed.
Not only is Kristen beautiful, but she can also ACT! Beauty and acting do not always go hand-in-hand. Kristen is a great choice to play Joan because she has that "lesbian feel" about her. She may be lesbian; she may not be lesbian - but that doesn't really matter. She has the look for the part.
I am really looking forward to seeing Kristen in this role. She is one of the best young actresses on the scene today. Also, she's choosing good roles and making good decisions so far.

Are you kidding?
That girl, A: looks NOTHING like Joan Jett at any point in her life and, B: She sounds like a flaming moron. I've been a Joan Jett fan since I was 12. I've got just about every Joan Jett/Runaways album that I can find. While I doubt that Joan Jett is a member of Mensa, that girl's description makes her sound like a refugee from drug treatment, not like someone who's "deep" or "profound". Get a better cast or skip it.
Stupid talentless child.
"Stupid talentless child."
"Stupid talentless child." wow. are you always this nasty?
i barely know this actress but i don't think she deserves that. most people don't. its fine to be opinionated but when you're that harsh and ott about someone who seems to be doing okay and be an okay person then you won't have much left for something justified

i have the hugest crush on kristen stewart, second only to olivia wilde. she's so smoking hot, and she's actually talented, which is rare, especially considering how young she is (she'll be 19 next week). i can't wait to see her as joan jett, that's gonna be awesome.
and despite the fact that she has a boyfriend who she's been with forever (and who i think is adorable), i still believe he's just a cover for her hot and heavy relationship with her "best friend" nikki reed. they're about as subtle as leighton meester and blake lively. i don't actually think she's gay, bi maybe though, but i do think she's hooking up with nikki (who has at least some experience with girls--thirteen was semi-autobiographical), so i'm just waiting for them to come out with it and admit they're into chicks and doing each other.
she carries herself like a
she carries herself like a tomboy, I cant get that out of my mind eversince she came out on the letterman show, you see the way she walked in and the way she shook his hand, her voice...totally gay looking...whos to say she isnt? :P

Remember how people thought she was a boy in Panic Room?
She's definitely hot (if practically jailbait), and flames like a forest fire, but I like the idea that someone who comes off as such a tomboy can still be straight and attractive to men if that's what she wants. I always enjoy when a stereotype gets spit on.
But yeah, I feel the loss.
"Remember how people
"Remember how people thought she was a boy in Panic Room?"
Lol, when I saw the movie Panic Room when it came out I had the biggest crush on her (we're the same age so it's wasn't creepy)... still do infact. *gestures to avatar*
So I guess you could add me to the list of people hoping she's gay.
Me too, I love her
joan jett is hot
joan jett is hot and i have the world's biggest crush on her. that is all.
oh and kristen stewart...i don't really care for her and i don't see her as joan, but i do think she's right about joan being a socially aware activist and feminist icon. i remember her being on news programs a couple of years ago discussing how weapons and tanks were being sent to iraq before we officially declared war on them (why does that not suprise me? i hope we never have another republican as president again). she was critical of the iraq war before many people were, and i admire her for that.
no gold stars for recognising the obvious...
No offence but blind monkeys were critical of the Iraq War long before human beings even managed to find it on a map...
So, you know, I'm just saying... you should admire blind monkeys too.
how about i think what i
how about i think what i want, and if you think differently you don't mock my personal opinion with asinine commentary.
and just so you know blind monkeys probably wouldn't find what you said funny, if that's what you're trying to be.
are you kidding me?
haha
Joan Is Courageous
Joan has aldo always strongly supported the troops, doing dangerous USO gigs in Iraq and Afghanistan back in 2003 way before it became "de rigueur" to do. She has been the real deal from Day One, and I hope this project does her justice.
Yowwwza! ^-^
ever since Speak, ive been completely smitten<33 she's unbelievably dreamy... what other reason was there to watch twilight, seriously??
..If your stomach feels weak, then my work here is done..
Wouldnt Be New
I wouldnt be suprised if she came out a few years from now either ....Come on out ~
Love Life ~
kristen, come to the dark side.

~ L is for the way you look at me
