Kristen Stewart (“Twilight”) will play the nice lady who sang the theme song from “Freaks and Geeks.”
"The Runaways," which tells the tale of Joan Jett's first band, was written and will be directed by music video maven Floria Sigismondi (Christina Aguilera's "Fighter").
Read all of the Hollywood Reporter’s story on the matter here.

Oh no no no no no no no!!
Not me me me me me me me!!

But she's popular with the youngfolk these days, I guess...
-
I think that she's a little more Pat Benatar than Joan Jett. Physically, she kinda lacks a certain edge. Makeup & costume are gonna have their work cut out for them.
-
But box office results = booking biopics so I guess that's that.
So are we talking dubbing or are they all going to sing themselves? -
Joan's got this edge and spark that come natural; watch her live performances.
Nothing's shown me that Kristen can pull off that level of intensity, though I'd love to be proven wrong.
-
YOU ARE NOT MY JOAN, YOU FUCKING FUCKER! FUCK YOU, FUCK!
-
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
-
JINO!
-
I think Jaime Pressley should play Nina Hagen in HAGEN: THE NINA HAGEN STORY: THE LIFE OF NINA HAGEN. Cuz I bet she could do a really shitty German accent.
-
Glenn Close would make a good raptor. She can be counted on for a good performance too. Maybe Jennifer Jason Leigh? She is certainly bumpy, scaly and old enough to nail essence of raptor. The Runaways comics are so much cooler than the an old Runaways chix band. Rewrite!

Are you so fucking dense that you cannot grasp my genius!? The casting of Jaime Pressley as Nina Hagen in NINA: THE LIFE, TIMES AND GERMANESS OF NINA HAGEN is a no-brainer! Two hours of Jaime Pressley speaking with a German accent! Box office gold, you cocksuckers! Hagen!
-
Kristen Stewart? Really? Fucking shit, man.
-
OLEG got out of the cage!
-
If only Joan would get into my PANTS.
-
Good grief
-
...she was a teenager when she was in the Runaways.
-
you blew it Hollywood
-
Not, like, Reese Witherspoon enormous. I'll give her that. But let's be honest here. That fucker could crack walnuts.
-
As much as I enjoy masturbating to Miss Caplan, I don't think she's right either.
-
And is, in fact, a man. It's science, people. You can't refute it. Unless you use somebody else's science. And only if that science has a larger penis than Kristen Stewart.
-
Wal-Mart has fried my brain.
-
she also directed "Megalomanica" by Incubus...one of the most visually inventive videos to come out in the last decade...so maybe listen Christina Aquilera is a little disingenuous to her, yeah?yeah?. yeah....
-
Who cares. Boring. Tell me when they make a movie about Queen or Motley Crue.
-
that is how small jett was...wonder who will play the currie sisters...who is gonna be rodney and who is gonna play the king of scumbags, kim foley...before there was a concept of commercialized jailbait, there was the runaways...but the difference between them and the girl groups and singers of today was that foley made sure that they werent submissive sluts...they were sluts, but every guy knew that if you wanted to fuck them, they would probably first kick your ass...i had the pleasure of meeting cherie currie a few years back...nicest gal in the world...
-
You know, because this is a Runaways biopic, or did Hollywood hire Jon Peters to this (Joan Jett fights giant fucking spider!)
-
look at that gal..she could be joan's daughter...and she already has the attitude...it wouldnt even be acting...and she would have no prob with doing the lesbian scenes...fully naked...let me cast this motherfucker
-
but Sasha (or is it sacha) Grey would be perfect. While I am far from a fan of making porn chic, she has everything you would want in a young Joan Jett.
By the way, Cherry Bomb was a great song. Better be used in the trailer. -
Why are we talking about Nina Hagen?
-
They WERE all teenage girls.

Say your Emile Hirsch during the filming of Into The Wild.
by youareallmybastardchildren
You totally do her in the motorhome, right?! Even if its not in the script. Even if Sean Penn has yelled "Cut!" I don't think I would've asked how old she was. I don't think I would've walked back outside. Now you know why I have so many bastard children!
-
In a heartbeat, yes.
-
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1017451/fullcredits
With this casting, maybe she sees something we don't. -
With some costume design she'll do a great job. Don't project your Twilight hate on her.
-
...sigh she was super hot when she went solo, and a pretty fine guitarist ta boot.
-
I got a little excited thinking that there was some news about a film version of Brian K. Vaughn's Runaways comic. I have to admit I'm not all that familiar with Joan Jett outside of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" so I can't really comment if Stewart's good or bad for playing a younger Joan Jett.
-
Joan Jett can't play herself she looks reasonably good
-
Britney Spears shit really needed
-
I suppose she could work. And by work I mean, suck my cock and swallow every last drop of my cum.
-
I'm sure she's calling you on skype right now.
-
I'm currently staring at pictures of Joan Jett and remembering how much wood she gave me when I was a kid.
-
As far as the twilight girl they cast, I can see it. Her fave seems to have the same shape as Jett. Slap some 80s makeup on her, dye her hair, and it might be a pretty decent resemblance.
-
DAMN! She's still fucking hot.
-
her videos always have a cool weird look, i wonder if she'll throw some of that into the movie. and thats a lovely picture of kristen, taken from a terrible movie but hey.
-
I agree with bacc40. and continentalop (a Hammet fan on AICN news? Amazing.) that Ms. Grey would have been great casting. The real trick is to get the right Kim Fowly. God, what a creep that guy was even if he did do (as Napolean XIII) "They're coming to take me away."
-
I got dragged off to Twilight by my daughter, and Kristen Stewart just doesn't have enough of an edge or the acting chops to take on this role. One of the worst performances I've seen in the past year was her trying to act like she was in pain/dying by going crosseyed. Awful.
-
She may not have the energy to pull it off but I see Kristin more as Cherie Currie the lead singer (and acclaimed chainsaw artist I shit you not). She's a dead ringer in that Cherry Bomb video - and just go to Cherie's website and stroll through the gallery. It's a missed opportunity.
-
I can see it...and he's not doing anything these days.
-
I thought Brian K. Vaughan the moment I clicked on the article too!
Joan Jett? Wake me up when they make a Patti Smith biopic. -
In the fall of 1989 Joan Jett & the Blackhearts came to play our piss-ant small Fall Bash at the University of Evansvile. I helped the crew unload, set up the drums (which had soda pop spilled on them the night before) and hung with the crew all day. They gave me a backstage pass for after the show. I wrangled my way to the front row and, again I swear to God, she picked me out, grabbed both my hands firmly and sang the "Now I Wanna Be Your Dog" to me. The whole song. She didn't let go once. I was rock hard, you can imagine. After the show the local Evansville cops wouldn't let me backstage, even with my pass. Motherfuckers. I might have had me some Joan Jett cooter to chew on if it wasn't for the pigs. Fuck Evansville. Fuck the cops. I wanted to fuck Joan...but to be sure that's one memory I'll have in my mastabatory rollodex for life. Or was that too much information?
-
Casting must be EASIEST fucking job on the planet. "Let's get that chick that's in that other movie that made money!"
-
Kristen Stewart was born the year 'Dances with Wolves' came out. Hope y'all feel real old now!
-
I hope these kids are ready for these prestige flicks they're suddenly getting as a result of their teeny bopper movie. If not, we will eat them alive.
-
... was too afrain to say anything to her, tho. She's only about 5'6" and very thin, but she looks like she could kill you with one hand.
-
went onto greatness. Who was the one who had that song "Bitch?" She was a one hit wonder unfortunately. Lita Ford had like two hit songs, three if you count the Ozzy duet. I don't see how there could be any interest in this movie, and I'm from this era. A Go-Gos movie would be better.
-
This girl simply has too much Tit and too little "rough" to play a Runaway. Joan is not only oddly sexy...but a bit scary, in a strap-on wearing kinda way...and this little tart has no scary in her. Now who is playin that full on, spanked myself raw too her, sex bomb Lita Ford?
-
No, I don't think that's too much information. Were I you, I would feel the same way. And I must agree with you. Fuck Evansville cops for doing that to you.
-
And something resembling tits?
-
jeezus christ...again, thats why this role needs to be recast...maybe some prepubescent guys are into stewart, but she leaves my dick limp...joan still oozes sexuality...i just cant believe that joan is exec producing and doesnt see the need to cast grey as her...the buzz on this pic would be amazing...its gonna be rated r, so stewarts fans cant go....so why cast her?
-
Whatever those pale limp things were in "Twilight," they certainly weren't vampires. Impervious to sunlight (because their skin looks marginally sweaty if the sun is too direct), lacking fangs and having suppressed their cravings for human blood, are you sure Edward was "creature of the night" or just an anemic sourpuss with strange culinary tastes? It positively kills me to think that a book that poorly written that was such an transparent fan-fic skim of prior, more prominent tales of blooksuckers - "Buffy," "Angel," anything Anne Rice or White Wolf related - could connect in such a huge way. We really have reached a critical nadir in pop culture, have we not?
-
bummer
-
...but at least the kids are reading something right? Wasn't too long before Harry Potter that kids had to be "negotiated" into reading by offering them free rewards like dethslop at McColonExplosions or free movie passes for Power Ranger idiocy. Hate to be pessimistic about it but kids today are a few hairs away from baboons in many cases and them reading anything, even pop-culture drivel can't be all bad...at least they CAN read and actually ARE reading of their own accord. Now if we could just get them not to sit in the middle of the god damn aisle in bookstores (read: bookstores are NOT libraries), then we might be making actual progress. I'd rather have a kid reading nowhere near me then climbing my fence to skate my half-pipe and then I'm forced to shoot them with a BB gun. I'm sure the BB's don't like it either.
-
She might pull off the look but it'll all boil down to pulling off the attitude when the camera's rolling. She's not an edgy actress. Who knows. That video of Britney Spears slaughtering "I Love Rock 'n Roll" is hilarious! She is a talentless hack.
-
I'm from Kentucky too and have a similar story, but without the whole sexual aspect. I have a nephew that is the biggest Joan Jett fan on the planet, so growing up with him I also became a huge fan. It's not Christmas time until I hear her version of "The Little Drummer Boy." Anyway, back to my Kentucky story; I am one of the biggest Ramones fans on the planet. Some years back while writing for a local newspaper I was able to interview Johnny Ramone before an upcoming Louisville show. Johnny sent me backstage passes to come and hang out with the band the night of the show. AICN friend PETER BLOOD was with me. The Ramones were opening for White Zombie, and Zombie's concert security refused to let us backstage even with our passes, so I missed the chance to meet my heroes in person. Now they're gone.
-
just like other music icons had to have something VERY special from their screen portrayals (Ray, Walk The Line, I'm Not There), Joan is so unique that the flavor of the month starlet will just completely blow it. So many other good choices are out there - the person I thought of when I read this was Faruza Balk - but she might be too old for a story revolving around Jett in her early 20s. But damn, seriously - find someone else.
-
Development Hell for years.
-
Thank Christ this wasn't being made when Spider-Man came out or you might have Dunst up for the role.
-
to fucking heap the Hate on Rob Zombie. Not only a half assed musician with only ONE good album to his name, but a completely self important yet ultimately talentless director,writer,and artist. The Ramones will be remembered and loved when the only thing people remember about the word "Zombie" is as being the name of a drink.
-
I hope they're still doing the Runaways movie based on the awesome Marvel comic. Title stealers! Anybody see Joan's cameo in Repo the Genetic Opera? Crowd went wild when she showed up on screen.
-
Still going through an awkward phase. Talented though. Love Joan Jett and the Runaways, looking forward to this.
-
I saw Joan in concert once. She would spin around in a circle while playing guitar, and her silhouette didn't change. No tits, no ass, and no hips. It was like looking at a real-life Olive Oyl.
This actress will need some Ace bandages wrapped tightly around her to more closely resemble the real deal. -
And I fucking loved it!

Whats wrong witchu guys? I would shave my whole family for Krist
by damien chowder
-
what you'd shave? The point is she's bad for the role. Go jerk off onto your Smallville DVDs.
-
Alison Lohman... anyone?
-
If by "him" you mean "her", I buy it. Joan, honey, don't front, we both know you like pussy. Exclusively.
-
Now there's some casting I could get inside. Er, behind.
I would like to be inside Alison Lohman.
You should be casting this movie, listo65. You anonymous internet person. -
I thought she was. She sure looks like a guy. Yuck.
-
...then that is one guy I would like to fuck.
-
I mean that literally. I saw her once and asked her if she had change for a $5 so I could catch the bus, and she just walked on by. I still hold that against her.
Bitch. -
Was your dick hanging out of your zipper? Cuz that's happened to me a few times. Always check to make sure you're zipped up, man.

Erm, isn't "New Moon" supposed to be filming this spring?
by anna valerious
Also, I still think that Sigismondi should do the next "Van Helsing"...hell, I don't think she'd screw up like Cohen did...
