Sundance Runaways Kristen Stewart & Dakota Fanning Share the Screen—and a Kiss!

Project Runaways kicks into high gear at high altitude in Park City

I loved The Runaways. It really does rock. The movie is the true-life story of the short-lived but legendary all-girl rock band, with Kristen Stewart starring as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie.

Stewart does what she does best: play the anguished outsider. But Fanning really nails it as the 15-year-old drug-abusing sex kitten Cherie. This is a Dakota you have never seen, getting so lost in the role that there are times she is almost unrecognizable. Full of sex (including Fanning and Stewart locking lips), drugs and rock 'n' roll, The Runaways is not for the prudish...

Or for Stewart and Fanning's younger Twilight fans.

Revolutionary Road's Michael Shannon plays the band's eccentric svengali producer, Kim Fowley. He's got some laugh-out-loud lines, most of which are D-I-R-T-Y—dirty!

And, as an added bonus, entering that fun crossroads where art intersects life, Jett herself hit Sundance last night when she performed at Harry O's—with Stewart and Fanning making a quickie appearance before the show. Let The Runaways resurgence begin!
