Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning star as Joan Jett and Cherie Currie in The Runaways, the music-fueled, coming of age story of the groundbreaking, all girl 1970s rock band.
Los Angeles 1975, Joan Jett (KRISTEN STEWART) and Cherie Currie (DAKOTA FANNING), two teenage valley girls with punk in their blood, meet and become the heart and soul of the seminal all girl band, The Runaways. Writer/Director Floria Sigismondi brings The Runaways to the big screen in this story of a group of extraordinary young women as they rise from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary band that paved the way for future generations of girl musicians. Under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley (MICHAEL SHANNON), the group evolves into an outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself—and so do its two leads: Joan is the band’s pure rock’ n’ roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten.
The Runaways is produced by John Linson, Art Linson and Bill Pohlad. Joan Jett, Kenny Laguna and Brian Young serve as executive producers.
ABOUT CHERIE CURRIE
Cherie Currie rocketed to international stardom as the teenage lead vocalist for the now legendary all-female rock band, The Runaways, alongside band mates Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Sandy West & Jackie Fox.
After three albums with The Runaways, ("The Runaways", "Queens of Noise", and "Live In Japan"), Cherie went on to record 2 solo albums ("Beauty's Only Skin Deep" for Polygram Records, & "Messin' With The Boys" with twin sister Marie Currie for Capitol Records), then as an actress, starred in numerous films including "Foxes" with Jodie Foster, "Parasite" with Demi Moore, "Wavelength" with Robert Carradine, "This is Spinal Tap", "Twilight Zone-The Movie", "Rosebud Beach Hotel", "Rich Girl" and others, as well as numerous guest spots on series television.
Cherie is the co-author of "Neon Angel: The Cherie Currie Story". Considered one of the best rock & roll biographies of all time, this treasure is scheduled for re-release and has been updated to include the years since its original release, also featuring additional stories from Cherie's days in The Runaways.
The multi-talented Cherie continues to act, record and perform around the world.
Recently, she added the role of record producer to her impressive resume, and opened her own Chainsaw Art Gallery in Chatsworth, California. She is currently training to enter her first Chainsaw Art competition. Check out her online Chainsaw Art Gallery at ChainsawChick.com.
