Before you get to watch Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning star opposite one another in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, you’ll get to see them rock out hardcore in The Runaways, a biopic about that legendary all-female band from the ‘70s who tore up the rock scene doing the kind of illegal things you wouldn’t exactly want to write home about.
Kristen Stewart stars as iconic rocker Joan Jett, while Dakota Fanning plays Cherrie Currie, and according to early reviews, not only do these two share a pretty intimate on-screen kiss, but the film also promises lots of hard drugs, loud rock and enough obscenities to make you forget Stewart is the same girl who also plays the sweet, innocent Bella Swan in those Twilight movies.
As part of the marketing for the film, MTV has released a music video for The Runaways song ‘Cherry Bomb’, which they re-recorded with the cast of the film, including Stewart and Fanning. We’ve embedded the video below along with a vintage live recording of the real-life Runaways performing the same song. Feel free to compare and let us know who you think does a better job at performing ‘Cherry Bomb’.
The Runaways hits theaters on April 9th.
