If I were to re-cast "The Runaways" movie, which Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning starred, may be longtime ago in movie memory.
Dakota Fanning as Cherie Curry was too G-rated, Disney type of girl. Cherry Bomb was naughty, jail-fuck-n-bait; hence the corset and garter lingerie worn on stage at the age of 15. Kristen Stewart I must say was Joan Jett on the screen for me. I had a girl crush on her for minute in this movie. However, the gritty love of rock and roll was too rated PG-13 compared to what the 70's rock scene was like in L.A., so maybe it's not the casting but the director/producing of the movie.
Also, check out The Runaways: “Take It Or Leave It: A Tribute To The Original Queens of Noise, 2-disc tribute to The Runaways, with The Donnas covering "Queens of Noise". A percent of the proceeds go to cancer research; in which Sandy West lost her battle with cancer in 2006.
Hollywood, Bollywood, or even Nollywood, please make a REAL movie about the Runaways - "The First All Girl Band!"
