Dakota Fanning As Cherie Currie - With Cherie Currie!

7/30/2009 9:23 AM ET | Filed under: Film Flickers • Dakota Fanning

We see the resemblance!

This new pic just surfaced of Dakota Fanning from the set of her new rock biopic, The Runaways, about the legendary girl group.

She is pictured with the woman she is portraying in the flick, legendary Cherie Currie. Their smiles are more assuring that the movie is going well than the scowls we get from Joan Jett and K-Stew.

But we think Kristen looks more like Joan than Dakota looks like Cherrie.

What do U think?

But MAYBE because Dakota is a good girl, and well… K-Stew is quite bad and that's where she resembles Jett

Absolutely love Dakota and cant wait to see her in this film. Ok Kristin may look like Joan but we all know how monotone an actress is and i think Dakota will blow her off the screen

ummm that doesn't look like a real picture. It looks like Cherie Currie's head was put on someone else's body…

Dakota Fanning is a good little actress but I don't think she is badass enough to pull off Cherie.

I was quite amazed that Dakota morphed into Cherie! I think they made a good choice and PLEASE Dakota… STAY INNOCENT!!!

kristen has embodied joan, and taylor mosmen would have been the best cherie ever , i like the casting of everyone but dakota. I do like her though, i just think bad casting! Taylor mosmen would have knocked it out of the park! Taylor would have been better in the intimate scences with kristen as well, she is more bad ass and she looks like she could get it on with girls!

Probably near impossible to cast someone who can both actually act and looks dramatically like the real person. So they got one of each.

Someone totally stuck Cherie's head on to a different body. I mean, like, look at her neck - its two different colours. Get a real pic next time, Perez!!!

Jail bait girls need to play jail bait roles. Plenty of time for growed-up stuff later.

27

Great casting. I'm a Runaways fan from waaaay back, and I'm glad to see Cherie having some input into the movie. Shame that Lita and Joan couldn't settle their differences. I'm wondering what the music is gonna sound like, are the actresses performing the music, or is somebody else doing that?

Re: Aimee999 –

Hi Aimee. Nope. Dakota is exactly the right age to play this role. The Runaways were all 15 and 16 years old when they started out.

Dakota (if you have seen any of the rehearsal shots) looks amazingly like Cherie! Who can help that Joan hasn't changed her look in 30 years? The biopic looks to be amazing and I for one can't wait to see it!!!

Kristen looks so good as Joan and i do think Dakota looks like Cherie too. But i have to say Kristen has the harder role here because she's playing joan Jett who is a legend and alot better known than Cherie nowadays. I think she'll do great and extra's opinions have been great plus JOn has said that she's thrilled with Kristen. Cannot wait for this!
