When first we made the casting call for The Runaways biopic, your suggestions were all great: Kristen Bell, Kirsten Dunst, Don Cheadle, etc. Nobody realized our commenters are all casting directors. But that was a year and a half ago, before teen vampire flick Twilight raked in $120MM and made Kristen Stewart the sulking star that she is today. The resemblance is remarkable, right down to the way they clutch their hips in contempt of your adoration:
Uncanny. This is the first big casting announce, which means we’re waiting on a Lita, a Cherie, a Sandy, and a Jackie. Joan approves, probably, since she’s on board as executive producer. (She looks this these days.) Hollywood Reporter says “The movie is eyeing a 2009 start and will work around Stewart’s commitments to the two Twilight sequels.” So, that’s happening.

this should be interesting considering the fact that they were marketed as pure jailbait. hope its not as shitty as the germs movie…
to pull this role off, she’ll have to reach deep inside and actually act, instead of just pout.
“So, that’s happening.”
Perfectly embodies the level of enthusiasm one should (not) upon learning that piece of ….news.
omg , isn’t there 3 more sequels?
it’s like, a quadrilogy!
seriously tho, i actually read and quite liked the books,
but this Kristen twat is a boring, insecure actress.
i could only imagine how *yawn* excited she is.
UGH.
that is a pretty uncanny resemblance though. Good find.
i can’t wait to see Kristen Stewart play as the legendary Joan Jett, it must be great!!!!!!!!
i dont think she resembles joan nor embodies her punk essence at all, i agree with mattP, she is a boring insecure actress.
