Kristen Stewart interview (audio) CONFIRMING dakota and her will be in the runaways

1:37 is when she confirms it. And talks about the scenes she most excited for filming

Kristen: I have a movie in between. I do 'New Moon' and then we do 'The Runaways' and then we do Eclipse.
 
Are you Joan Jett?
 
Kristen: Yes.

 
So are you looking forward to that?
 
Kristen: Yes.
 
What kind of research are you doing?
 
Kristen: I'm just trying to immerse myself in the music scene, not in the scene, but to educate myself about it.
 
Has there been any question about playing Joan Jett from the people who are putting out Twilight for all these young teenage girls
 
Kristen: Luckily they have nothing to say, yeah.
 
You're not concerned about that image at all because of all the young girls who are crazy about you?
 
Kristen: Joan is such a remarkable role model for any young girl. I mean, she was the first female to start a record label. She was so young, if not eighteen I think she was in her early twenties. She's an activist. She's a feminist. She's a great role model.
 
Are you going to be doing your own singing?
 

Kristen: I don't know yet, to be honest. I want to very badly but I also want it to sound right and I don't know if it'll be a combination where they lay our voices on top of each other or if it'll be just her or just me. We'll see. We'll see how able the other actors are to play the music themselves. It would be awesome. We're definitely on band practice. We're definitely going to be a group of people who can actually make music together. There's a lot of performance in the movie.
 
And Dakota Fanning is in both movies, right?
 
Kristen: Yep.
 
Have you worked with her before?
 
Kristen: No.
 
So you'll be spending like the next year with her basically on set.
 
Kristen: Yeah, absolutely. I've always loved what she's done. She's very controlled and poised. In terms of her actual work that she makes, it's always so different. She's gonna rock this. You talk about a band, she's going to have to lose herself in this because it's really pretty heavy.
 
Is there a sequence that you're looking forward to shooting?
 
Kristen: God, yeah. There are so many iconic ones. The relationship that's really interesting is Cheri and Joan, the two front men of the band. They get tattoos together in Japan and obviously they still have those tattoos. I'm looking forward to that just because it's such a fun part of the movie. I like the big conflict. Cheri can't really handle the success, nor does she want it necessarily in that respect. Joan is a very steady, self-assured and she knows this kick started her whole career. So to watch it all fall apart and her still stand, I'm excited about that. It's a really explosive scene. Amps are kicked through and guitars are smashed.

Um excuse me but I have to say that your comment about Dakota is really ignorant. Dakota has a soul and mind set of a 30 year old. She may be 15 but her work was dark when she was like 6 or 8 years old. She was playing in movies that were more advanced far beyond her age and for you to say stuff about her like you are...is just making you out like a complete moron.

@july234me i dont think they had scenes together though 

[MrMegaaaan]

@xFANPiREbabex who? kristen?

[theekiddmurray]

@hacker4olykeio No one knows but i still love her in movies

@july234me What she said was accurate. They did not share a scene or days of shooting the short film. Their performances were brought together with editing..Basic movie magic.It is absolutely plausible.

whats funny is that kristen is like ive never worked with dakota , but i guess she didnt realize they were in the same short film Cutlass. i find that like kinda a wierd thing

@VintageBeauty1313 Right, but for the movie, the only thing was, they couldn't get the "rights" to have the other girls involved. Sandy passed away in 2006, and Jackie and Lita didn't want to be involved. Lita isn't really speaking to Joan and Cherie. That's why the movie was based off of Cherie's book. Her and Joan are great friends, so that's why they both are so involved with the movie.

@VintageBeauty1313 no but none of the other band members were interested in making the movie so instead they made it about Cherie and Joan who wanted to help with the movie and tell everyone their story and rightfully so.
