The Runaways movie filming is getting underway with all of the actors and actresses chosen for their parts and studying their mentors lives.
For Dakota Fanning, it may just prove tougher than she thought.
Rumor has it that there’s going to be a steamy lesbian sex scene between Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. Stewart is set to play Joan Jett, while Fanning is playing lead singer Cherie Currie.
According to sources, in one scene, the girls share an intense kiss and their clothes end up scattered all over their hotel room floor.
Stewart says, “Dakota’s very controlled and poised. She’s going to have to lose herself in this, because it’s really pretty heavy.”
Jett is executive producing the flick, which reportedly has some lesbian scenes lined up.
Her character is shown making out with a girl, and there there’s also another scene with some sexual tension between her and another girl after they shared a kiss.
But you’ll just have to wait to see the movie! I know guys will line up to see Dakota kiss another girl, am I right guys?
Fresh from the success of “Twilight,” Kristen Stewart is set to portray Joan Jett in “The Runaways,” the rock ‘n’ roll biopic of the 1970s all-girl band.
Video director Floria Sigismondiwrote the screenplay and is directing, while John and Art Linson and River Road Entertainment’s Bill Pohlad are producing. Jett will act as an executive producer.
The Runaways were hugely influential as the first successful all-girl hard rock band; its members included guitarists Jett and Lita Ford, drummer Sandy West, singer-keyboardist Cherie Currie and bassist Jackie Fox.
The band was brought together in late 1975 by impresario Kim Fowley, who thought a novelty act of teenaged girls performing in leather and lace would be an easy sell, but the girls ended up proving to be serious and influential musicians with songs like “Cherry Bomb.”
The band lasted about four years together, falling apart over management and money issues.
Joan Jett continued her rock career into the ’80s, forming the Blackhearts and scoring with such hits as “I Love Rock N’ Roll” and “I Hate Myself for Loving You.” She continues to record and tour.
The film will revolve around Jett and Currie and follow them from the band’s meteoric rise as teenagers to their dissolution and disillusionment.
The movie is eyeing a 2009 start and will work around Stewart’s commitments to the two “Twilight” sequels. The first one, “New Moon,” is expected to shoot sometime in first-quarter 2009, with Stewart reprising her role as Bella, the human who falls for a vampire.
“Twilight” has made more than $120 million since opening Nov. 21.
“Runaways” reunites the Gersh-repped Stewart with Art Linson and Pohlad, with whom she worked on “Into the Wild.” She also appeared in the Linson-produced “What Just Happened.”
