MUSIC NEWS - The soundtrack from the new film "THE RUNAWAYS" has been announced for a March 16 digital release and will hit stores on March 23rd (via Atlantic Records). The talked about film stars Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart and Michael Shannon will open in theatres across North America on March 19 (check out the recently released trailer, below).
"THE RUNAWAYS-MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE" features original songs from The Runaways and four re-recorded versions of the legendary all-girl group's classic tunes by the film's stars Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart, the first time either actress has contributed to a film's soundtrack. The collection also includes songs from David Bowie, MC5, The Stooges and Joan Jett. The soundtrack is now
available to order, here.
"THE RUNAWAYS-MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE" was produced by George Drakoulias and executive
produced by Joan Jett, Kenny Laguna, Kevin Weaver and Paul Katz.
The Runaways films debuted this year's Sundance Festival, will have a special premiere at the SXSW Festival. The film will premiere during the music festival on Thursday, March 18th at the Paramount Theatre in Austin with several cast and crew members (tbd) attending.
The film was written and directed by Floria Sigismondi and stars Kristen Stewart (Twilight, dventureland), Dakota Fanning (The Twilight Saga: New Moon, I Am Sam), and Michael Shannon (Revolutionary Road, Pearl Harbor). The film was produced by John Linson, Art Linson and Bill Pohlad. Joan Jett, Kenny Laguna and Brian Young serve as the film's executive producers and is set in Los Angeles beginning in 1975.
The pic sees Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart) and Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning), two teenage valley girls with punk in their blood, meet and become the heart and soul of the seminal all-girl band, The Runaways. Floria Sigismondi brings The Runaways to the big screen in a story of a group of young women rising from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary band that paved the way for future generations of female musicians. Under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon), the group evolves into an utrageous 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 two of its leads: Joan is the band's pure rock 'n' roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten.
