Kristen Stewart Gets Wrapped In Red Leather

Project 'Runaways'
Friday, July 31st, 2009

It’s been a little while since we’ve seen any photos from the set of the new film The Runaways which stars Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning and others as the real life 70’s rock group of the same name. There are a few new photos of K. Stew on set with her mentor (the woman she portrays in the film) Joan Jett and a garishly red leather jumpsuit … check ‘em out HERE:

Twilight cutie Kristen Stewart showed off her latest 70s rock getup on the set of her film The Runaways on Thursday in Norwalk, Ca. Wearing a red leather jumpsuit, Kristen, 19, consulted her rock mentor and real-life Runaway, Joan Jett, as the two relaxed on set. These two are looking more and more alike every day! But since Kristen is playing Joan in The Runaways, we guess that’s a good thing. The Runaways hits theaters next year.

The film should get high marks for authenticity, this red number that Kristen is wearing looks exactly like the red jumpsuit that Joan wore in concert and on the cover of their album The Runaways Live in Japan:


Oh man … the 70’s were fun. While I am really excited to see this biopic film when it gets released next year, I’m also lookin’ forward to seeing what other fashion atrocities are resurrected from the dead in the film. Woot! Can’t wait!!

Filming On ‘The Runaways’ Continues In SoCal

The gang's all here?
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Last week we saw photos of Kristin Stewart (portraying Joan Jett) and Dakota Fanning (portraying Cherie Currie) filming their first scenes for their new biopic movie The Runaways and today we get to see a few more photos from the SoCal movie set. Kristen (as Joan) gets unruly on top of a car while Dakota (as Cherie) rocks a pair of unruly platform high heel boots:


Those are some serious boots, Dakota! Damn. I gotta admit, tho, the more I see from this movie the more I want to see the final product. I’m a fan of quite a few songs by The Runaways, I’d really love to see how they got their start in the biz. After the jump, check out a photo of Kristen and Dakota with some of their film castmates — I believe it is our first look at the main characters in The Runaways …

Dakota Fanning Begins Filming ‘The Runaways’

A whole lotta eyeshadow
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Yesterday we saw photos of Kristen Stewart in full costume and make-up as Joan Jett on the SoCal set of the new movie The Runaways which just went into production. Today we get to see pics of Stewart’s co-star Dakota Fanning in full costume and make-up as Runaways bandmember Cherie Currie on set (along with a couple newer photos of K. Stew as Joan Jett in a different costume) … behold:


Ah yes … I remember all the heavy and IMHO bad make-up that the ladies used to wear in the early 80’s. The look lingered for much of the decade and the young ladies who rocked this look in high school were referred to as burn outs. All I know is that there had better be at least one feather roach clip featured in the flick. To be honest, the look is all nostalgic and fabulous these days … I really am dying to see how this movie will turn out. Previously we saw these young actresses hanging with their real-live counterparts and now we’re seeing them in action. I realize filming *just* started but I really want to see more.

Kristen Stewart Begins Filming ‘The Runaways’

A whole lotta leather
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

In previous weeks we’ve seen photos of Kristen Stewart rockin’ the 70’s punk mullet and we’ve seen her chillin’ with Joan Jett in preparation for her appearance in the upcoming new film The Runaways (based on the all-girl band of the 70’s/80’s) and today we get to see K. Stew in action as Jett on the SoCal set of the film. Here are the first pics of Kristen doing her best Joan Jett on the set of the movie that has just began filming:


HMMMMMM … I mean … yeah. Kristen deffo has the Joan Jett look down but … I don’t know that I’m feeling the hair in these pics. It looks different from the pics we’ve seen previously … her hair looks more like a wig in these pics, no? To be honest, I don’t really see Kristen as Joan Jett as much as I see her as Pinky Leather Tuscadero from Happy Days. Granted, you really cannot judge a film from just the pics we seen from the set … and The Runaways just went into production … so I’m gonna hold off on judgment. Minus the hair, I like the look tho … I kinda want to see more.
