Dakota Fanning To Play Punk Rawk Legend????
Filed under: Film Flickers > Dakota Fanning > Kristen Stewart
While we do agree that Dakota Fanning is a talented little lady who is growing up beautifully, we don't really see her as a punk rawk chick.
The teen actress is said to be in talks to star as Runaways lead singer Cheri Currie alongside Kristen Stewart as Joan Jet in the upcoming film named after the band.
Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!
It will be her second film with K-Stew, as Stewart is slated to reprise her role in the Twilight sequel and Fanning has been tapped to play a vampire in the flick.
Can Dakota pull off a teenaged wild child without it turning into a caricature? Guess we'll have to wait and see!

You did not just call her a "little lady."
SCHWING!!!!!!!
Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett????
Bitch, please. Joan should play herself!!!!!! Even though she's 50, she's looking pretty damned HAWT still!
Lol this is the RIGHT time to report on C. Brown yet you talk about Pippy longstocks??? lol
she's twice the actress as stewart. I don't think here is a role she can't pull off.
JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS!!!

joan JETT
not jet
oh please no i hate dakota fanning

DAKOTA, DON'T CONTAMINATE YOUR RESUME
BY MAKING A MOVIE WITH THE RIDICULOUS K-TWAT!
Dakota is a good actress, of course she can pull it off!
She'll do fine!
That Kristen Stewart bitch is going to suck as Joan Jett, tho.
Yes she can cause she's a true and talented actress. Anyone forgetting that she played a girl that got raped and was quoted "It's not really happening, it's a movie, and it's called acting." So I think she'll be fine.
I'm not worried about her charater being brought to real life but I'm more worried about whether Kristen Stewart will corrupt the innocent sweetie.
if true, sex tape + first rehab within 3 years
Please pull a Miley, please pull a Miley!
Chris Brown and his attorney Mark Geragos did not enter a plea to the two felony charges. The judge granted Brown's request for a continuance to April 6th.
It is unclear why they wanted to postpone the case — possibly to conduct further investigations or possibly to strike a plea deal. We just don't know…
Based on our information, it seems Brown wants to avoid a trial at all costs because the picture of Rihanna taken one day after the incident — which has not been seen anywhere publicly — is unbelievable.
Brown, who stood emotionless in court, spoke only 4 words to the judge — "yes," "yes," and "yes ma'am."
The judge admonished Brown in open court, saying "You are not to annoy, harass, molest, threaten or use force or violence against anyone."
The judge asked Mark Geragos if there was a "no-contact order" in place, to which Geragos replied, "Miss Fenty [Rihanna] does not request such an order."
Rihanna's attorney, Donald Etra, was also in court. Etra is famous for repping Snoop Dogg in multiple cases over the years.

Re: Danneel aka Sandpiper –
Dakota and Kristen to play Cheri and Joan.
PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she looks cute
Ch..ch…ch..Cherry Bomb!!!
This is going to be a great film, Joan Jett is helping with the production and she handpicked Kristen Stewart to play her in it. Im pretty freaking excited about it. And if Dakota Fanning koins, all the better!
sexy?? isn't she 12?
It's Jett, not Jet!
She's way too young and would be so unbelievable. Can't she play her age? Oh, I forgot–she's and "actress" and can "act" older. Bullshit. Exploitation sells.
she obv respects kristen =]
…how old is she now…?
Both of these little goldilocks will not be able to pull of rock n roll grit.
Leave it alone kiddies!
Dakota can play any part. She is amazing. Unlike that ungrateful, pothead biatch that she will be in the movie with. You all know who I mean.
She won't ever sign to do this other movie with Kristen Stewart. She'll do Twilight because it sells itself because of the books, but she won't be shackled to trying to drag along Kristen in a non-Twilight movie, IMO.
This woman is getting sexy in her older years!
KRISTEN STEWART DOMINATES ALL.
IF YA KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT TH RUNAWAYS OR EARLY LA PUNK YOU WOULD KNOW THAT JOAN AND CHERIE AND HELLEN WERE IN THEIR TEENS WHEN THEY STARTED THE BAND..THESE CHICKS WILL BE PERFECT
Re: Scrappy-Doo – LOL, wtv Twi-idiot
The girl is brilliant and so very talented I doubt she will have much trouble getting into her role.
•
um…NOPE.
•
Dakota Fanning is cool - but NOT as Cherie Currie
•
they need to dig deep, and find some raw unknown talent for that role
•
as for Joan Jett…it needs to be Kate Moenig (Shane from the L Word)
•
let me guess - Lindsay fuckin' LoLife as Lita Ford right…? (NAAAAAAWT!!)
•
keep on trying to whomever is casting this flick
•
Dakota Fanning yes, KStew no.
Oh wow. Yeah, she can totally play Cheri Curry. Dakota is an amazing little actress, I totally think she can pull it off. I just hope the directed doesn't fuck up what should be an AMAZING film. Love the Runaways. I've met Cheri and her identical twin sister Marie several times and they are just really nice ladies.
Woow..she got legs!!
wow she looks like she's fuking 20 already
Um, she's an actor. Good actors can play anyone. Stop picking on her.
I am totally jealous of her.
Does the role require screaming pathetically at the camera?
She should ace it, then.
omg… k.stew should never act again…. that includes twilight. she reuined that flick!
2 T'S IN JOAN JETT MARIO GET A FUCKING COPY EDITOR!
I think shes a good actress but she might not be able to pull it off her voice is so girlish and stuff but u never know she might do a rly good job like perez said we r going to have to wait on this one
Re: n7of9 – lol right
thats a joke right? stick to the little girl roles dakota leave the punk roles for the actresses without the skweaky clean images hunny
Looks like Dakota is going to be pretty when she grows up. You know how when most child actors are cute but as adults they are fugly. Dakota's lucky.
Re: LizardKinG – LZ there you go again~ You are a baad boy!
she's so fucking annoying! her and kstew can go off and make blockbuster bombs together, sure. but why have them be face joan jett and company? dakota fanning is still seven in my mind and i have a hard time seeing her in any role other then as a seven year old. FUCKING A. she drops off the face of hollywood for what? five years? comes back and expects great stardom. she's not that little girl anymore. it's irritating.
you "dont really see her as punk rock"???
what does the word ACTRESS mean to you then?
what is she only supposed to play characters like herself?
stupid.
ERM …. YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!
I WILL CUT OFF MY RIGHT ARM (I AM RIGHT-HANDED!), BEFORE I WILL GO TO SEE A FILM IN WHICH FANNING-A-POO, AND MS. STEWART PLAY MEMBERS OF "THE RUNAWAYS".
I AM A FAN OF THAT BAND.
NOOOO WAY, DO I SEE THIS CASTING WORKING OUT
DID EVERY OTHER ELIGIBLE ACTRESS IN HOLLY-WEIRD TURN DOWN THESE PARTS?
OR, KILL ME NOW, 'K?
Re: GOSSIP HOG – LOL! I was thinking Dakota would be better as Lita Ford than Cherie Currie. Taylor Momsen should play Cherie - I have to admit I saw it somewhere else first but it's a great idea.
From what I've read Joan is involved in production of the film and may even have casting pull. I just don't know if Stewart is up to playing Jett. Couldn't they at least hire a dark haired brown eyed girl? KS is pasty and looks like she just stepped off the Mayflower; white bread city. A hispanic mixed girl would rock as JJ!
she's like the teenage kate winslet.
Dakota is an amazing actress I believe she can do it. Not so sure about Kristen playing Joan Jett (but it is true Joan likes her so… for now, I'm not gonna be mean) let's hope the movie is not crap.
Noooooooooo!!! She shouldn't be associated with K-Stew. She might influence her to be a BITCH!!! K-Stew SUCKS!!!! Fans are mad at her. There's even a Petition circulating around the net to boot her off Twilight.
Kristen and Dakota have already been in a film together. It was actually really good.
It was kate hudsons film (she directed it), and it was called "Cutlass".
yuck Kristen! Yay Dakota!
Dakota is all three. Dakota is growing up. It is apparent that she has been well guided in career and more power to her.
she's going to be a real beauty when she becomes an adult.she also is not you typical hollywood child star who is a mess,good parenting.
don't start treating her like a little whore Perez,like you do with every young girl you wish you were.
she's got a good head on her shoulders and doesnt need douchebags like you pissing all over her any chance you get.
Damn ! Dakota is totally hot ! Those legs are giving me a major woody!
Awkward. How young is she? She would probably get more acting roles if she played a kid.
i think she can totes do it
It's "Jett" not "Jet" Perez. Boy, I dont expect you to know the Runaways considering your taste in your music, but you should know how to spell Joan Jett's name correctly!
nooo…..i dont think she belongs to the punk side
Re: la poopsiekins –
yep!
=0)
leave kristen alone. she is able to act way better than any of u people ever we'll be able to. have a nice day.
Dakota can def. pull it off. She's been an amazing actress since she was a small child! She's very talented! Kristen however…she can't act her way out of a paper bag! What were they thinking casting her?!?!??! Her acting in twilight was some of the most hilarious stuff I've seen in a long time! She's crap!
NOOOOOOOO
Stay out of Kristen's movies bitch
I saw Hound Dog the other day and I have to say that it is one of the best movies and Dakota is one of the best actresses I have ever seen on screen. Well done Dakota, I look forward to seeing more great work from you !
I heard she was going to ne Jane. I hope not. I pictured Jane way different. They really did a terrible job casting Twilight.
Good to see Kristen Stewart expanding her range - NOT.
She seems normal; I like her.
She's a major talent and is really looking good. But for this role, what are they going to do with her kid voice?
Oh, and it's "Cherie" Currie……and Joan "Jett". Good Lord don't call them "Legends" if you can't even spell their name correctly.
Bleach her hair, add some heavy eyeliner, and that corset/fishnet stockings and I think Dakota would make a great Cherry Bomb!
The Runaways were a kick ass rock 'n roll band. They broke down the doors for other females in rock. It's funny to remember that they were all 16…the same age as all these stupid little pop puppets are now.
Joan Jett is producing the film, based on Cheri Currie's memoir. So if both Jett and Currie have decided that 15 y/o Dakota Fanning is best to play the then 15 y/o Currie, well I would think they know best. Don't you?
Anyway, watch Fanning play a hilariously drunk punk girl in the movie Push.
I'm betting Dakota will surprise you.
At least she CAN act!!! The other twat, Stewart, should never act again!!
This girl has grown into a respectable, hard-working actress. Personally I'm proud of her and she looks fantastic. Lezzie Lohan: this is what could've been for you. Dumb twat.
they give her ridiculous roles….if shes a punk chick…..then white people are black
she can definitely do it, and i can't wait to see.
I think she's can pull it off, she is talented.
ewww i hat Dakota, she is such a slut now.
she a good actress but she cant play a vamp or a punk.
Dakota Fanning is a good actress - - she'll be great.
Ok so Dakota Fanning is a great actess and she'll pull off her roll fantastically i'm sure… Buuut FUCK HELL NO!!! WHO THE FUCK CAST THAT FUGLY BITCH KRISTEN STEWART AS JOAN JETT!!!!!! Joan Jett is the shit… Kristen Stewart is not only a shitty actress but she's not nearly cool enough to play Joan Jett! Who the FUCK did that??? I'm soooooo pissed now. Damn this has ruined my damn day. KRISTEN STEWART!!! HAS THE CASTING DIRECTOR LOST HIS MIND!!!!! FUUUUCCKKK!!!!!
You have got to be kidding! This little fool to play Cherie Currie?!?!?!?! Hopeless…
I am no Cherry Curie fan, but Dakota doesn't have 1/8 th of the attitude to pull it off.
It will be crime against nature if Crispin Hellion Glover does not play the role of Kim Fowley, Mayor of the Sunset Strip!
WTF? she grow up fast!!!!!!! lol
She's perfect at Cherie Currie, I don't know about Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett Though. Maybe that chick from Juno, but not Kristen Stewart.
wow i no that she has grown up and everyone thinks she is really pretty now
but she looks extra good in this picture
and she is a reallly good actress, she has been in soo much stuff
and whatever i think she could play a goth wild child, i think she could play like anything haha and i think she has already proved that
No matter what you may say…..She is the right age. It's easy to forget just how young all the girls of The Runaways were. not sure I'm ready to see Dakota singing in lingerie
Who will play Lita Ford?
dumb. she's an extremely talented actress and the point of being in acting is to play a role that isn't you, right? so why whine? she'll be great at it.
She is about the right age to play Cherie BUT I'd rather see an unknown who resembles Currie do the part.
oooooooohhhhhhhhh ,,,……yayyyyyyyy ! get yer whore on girl !
K-Twat will be perfect as Joan Jett - slouchy, talentless, and gushing with doucheness. Dakota Fanning is too good an actress to lower her standards and to act along with K-Twat, either in New Moon OR the Runaways.
Really? Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett?
Shit, why don't we just cast Pauly Shore??
