With director Floria Sigismondi’s The Runaways finally getting released into more theaters tomorrow, it’s time to share the video interview I did with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning.  Since we’ve been covering the film for months, I shouldn’t have to tell you anything about it.  But for the three people that don’t know:

The Runaways is based on the book Neon Angel: The Cherie Currie Story by Cherie Currie and it tells the coming-of-age story of the teenage rock band The Runaways and how they came together in the mid 1970′s.  Kristen Stewart stars as Joan Jett, Dakota Fanning is Cherie Currie, and Michael Shannon stars as the über-eccentric Kim Fowley – the man who put The Runaways together.

During the interview Stewart and Fanning answered questions I got via Twitter (thanks to everyone who tweeted me questions) and if you watch time index 2:50 or so, you can hear what sounds like the wall falling and see their reactions.  It’s actually a very relaxed and fun interview.  Check it out after the jump:

Apparation has provided us with on set video interviews with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning for The Runaways.  While I generally don’t post studio provided interviews, with interest in The Runaways quite high, I thought you might like to see them.  Also, they aren’t online yet.

What you need to know about the interviews is when a movie is filming, the studio will conduct interviews with the actors/crew  for what’s called an EPK (electronic press kit). This is released to the press when the movie is getting ready to be released as a way to help promote the film.  So if you’d like to see Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning talk about playing Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, hit the jump:

The full trailer for The Runaways has finally been released.  Starring Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie, the trailer gives you a lot more of a look at the movie than the teaser trailer from back in January.  I saw the film at Sundance and thought it was really good with fantastic performances from the lead cast.  The movie is based on the book Neon Angel: The Cherie Currie Story by Cherie Currie and it tells the coming-of-age story of the teenage rock band The Runaways and how they came together in the mid 1970′s.

The movie is loaded with great music, and the trailer gives you a nice sample of what to expect.  Watch it after the jump.  And if you missed our previous coverage…here’s 8 high resolution images, here’s my review from Sundance, and here’s my interview with Kristen Stewart and Dakota FanningThe Runaways gets released March 19.

6 New High Resolution Images from THE RUNAWAYS Starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning

With The Runaways set to be released on March 19, we’ve landed 6 new high resolution images from the film.  Since we’ve been covering the film extensively the last few months, I’d like to think most of you know what it’s about.  But for the three people just joining the party:

The Runaways follows two friends, Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart) and Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning), as they rise from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary group that paved the way for future generations of girl bands. They fall under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon), who turns the group 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.

Hit the jump to check out the new images.  And if you missed our previous coverage…here’s 8 high resolution images, here’s my review from Sundance, and here’s my interview with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning:

With The Runaways premiering last night at the Sundance Film Festival, the cast, writer/director Floria Sigismondi, Joan Jett and Cherie Currie met with reporters yesterday afternoon.  Thankfully, I was invited to participate in the roundtable interviews and after the jump you can either read or listen to the interview with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning.

As I said in my review of The Runaways:

With fantastic performances from Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning and Michael Shannon, The Runaways delivered the goods at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.  Based on the book Neon Angel: The Cherie Currie Story by Cherie Currie, The Runaways tells the coming-of-age story of the teenage rock band The Runaways and how they came together in the mid 1970′s.  Kristen Stewart stars as Joan Jett, Dakota Fanning is Cherie Currie, and Michael Shannon stars as the über-eccentric Kim Fowley – the man who put The Runaways together.

During the interview, Stewart and Fanning discussed making the film, really playing and singing their parts, being at Sundance, their kissing scene, and I asked Stewart about playing a part that features  adult subject matter with her very large teenage fanbase.  If you’re a fan of Kristen Stewart or Dakota Fanning, you’ll love the interview:

While there was a lot of debate if the film would show a no-holds-barred account of what The Runaways really went through back in the 70′s – like the drug use and the in-band make-out sessions – not only does the film show a warts-and-all look at what happened to the band – at times you’ll feel like you’re watching documentary footage from the era as Stewart and Fanning are really playing and singing in the film, and they both deliver inspired performances.  For more of my thoughts on the film, hit the jump:

Earlier this morning I posted a high resolution image from The Runaways.  It was an image that had been previously released, but I figured some of you might not have seen it in high res.  While I figured that would be it for The Runaways until this Sunday when I hopefully see the movie at Sundance, I was just provided eight new images from film and not only are most of them new…they’re all super high resolution.  So if you’ve been looking forward to seeing Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett…hit the jump to check out the new images.
