In an era in which every teen star has a stylist and a bland pop record, 19-year-old Kristen Stewart is the tough-minded, no-frills anomaly. Stewart played Bella Swan not as a cartoon but as anxious and complicated—making the predicament of being torn between a vampire and a werewolf seem … well, almost plausible. The daughter of a television-producer father and an Australian script-supervisor mother, the L.A.-bred Stewart has been consistently drawn to melancholy over flash. Between Twilight installments, her edgy trajectory will continue with Welcome to the Rileys, about the friendship between a stripper and a married businessman, played by James Gandolfini, and The Runaways, about rocker Joan Jett.
Sunday night at the Eccles Theatre was the setting for one of the festival’s most curious reunions, when the members of the pioneering all-teen-girl ’70s rock band the Runaways walked the red carpet with the stars portraying them in a big screen biopic “The Runaways,” which tells the story of the band’s rise and fall.
So there was Runaways guitarist/solo star Joan Jett next to her onscreen counterpart, Kristen Stewart, and singer Cherie Currie walking alongside her young cinematic doppelganger, Dakota Fanning (both of whom star in the “Twilight” saga). Asked to give their reactions the first time they saw the teen actors in costume as the Runaways, Jett and Currie’s eyes lit up.
“It was amazing,” Jett, who played guitar in the band, told MTV News. “It was surreal. The first time I met her, her hair was still long. Then after she finished ‘New Moon,’ she got it cut and I saw her out in L.A. for some rehearsals and it was really incredible. We were both laughing a lot because it’s surreal.”
So surreal, in fact, that Currie admitted she felt as if the entire experience were simply unreal. “It was too much for me to handle, to be honest with you,” she said of seeing Fanning in character. “For the first time, I got to see what it was like to be in an audience and look at the Runaways. It was that right-on. This all is so surreal! I went to sleep, woke up in this amazing dream, and I can’t wake up. I don’t want to wake up. And guess what? I don’t have to!”
Indeed, she didn’t. The real and fictionalized Runaways soon hustled into the theater for the film’s premiere, then gathered hours later at the Bing Bar on Main Street for the official after-party. It was the most coveted bash in town on Sunday night, as the line outside made clear, largely because of the presence of “Twilight” franchise stars Stewart and Fanning.
As Currie said while still on the carpet, though, the teens are handling all the attention wonderfully. “What great girls,” she said. “I think they’re incredibly down to earth. I’m really proud to know ‘em.”
It was one rockin’ night in Park City, Utah, on Saturday when Joan Jett & The Blackhearts hit the stage at the Harry O’s Concert Series.
In town lending her support to The Runaways, the biopic about Jett’s ’70s band The Runaways, the singer took the stage in a one-piece sequined leotard and sneakers.
But it wasn’t her fashion choice that got the crowd going – it was special guests Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, who star in the movie premiering at the Sundance Film Festival.
After thanking the film’s director, Floria Sigismondi, and other folks who worked on the film, Jett gave a shout-out to Stewart and Fanning who’d come up onstage, and thanked them in front of the audience.
Stewart, in ripped jeans and a dark hoodie, and Fanning, in sleek dark outfit and heels, waved and smiled as the crowd broke into thunderous applause. The two soon retreated backstage where they finished watching Jett’s incredible show out of the spotlight.
The Runaways premieres Sunday at the Sundance Film Festival.
