Dakota Fanning As Cherie Currie - With Cherie Currie!

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?

    Kristen definitely looks more like Joan.



  2. 2

    blonde and too much teeth, thats where it ends.



  3. 3

    Yup you're right perez… Kristen absorbed Joan



  4. 4

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



  5. 5

    Agreed. Kristen looks more like Joan.



  6. 6

    GREAT YOUNG ACTRESS!!

    STAY OUT OF TROUBLE!!

    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



  8. 8

    Ch Ch Ch Cherry Bomb!



  9. 9

    Kristen is becoming Joan…. I still dont get why you hate her so much… jelouse a little?
    This movie better kickass - the Runaways are too good to spoil

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



  11. 11

    You look retarded Mario thats all I know….



  12. 12

    K-Stew looks more like Joan Rivers



  13. 13

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



  14. 14

    Re: LizardKinG – LOL @ 11…..i'd have to agree…….



  15. 15

    Kristen is Joan, great casting call……CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS FLICK!!!

    ACTING. That's what they get over-paid for.



  17. 17

    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!



  19. 19

    Maybe, but Dakota can probably ACT.



  20. 20

    dakota looks like a blonde keirsten!



  21. 21

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



  22. 22

    LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  23. 23

    I love Cherie! I met her many times while in college in Los Angeles. Very sweet gal. CHERRY BOMB!!!



  24. 24

    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!!!



  25. 25

    who cares who looks like who,it's a movie,they have to act.Like if the queen really looks like Helen Mirren.She wishes!

    kristen stewart in this looks like shane from the L word



  26. 26

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



  27. 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?



  28. 28

    WTFFFF!????!! How old is she?? thats ridiculous.



  29. 29

    you should check out the lead playing sandy west, her names stella maeve she will be the next big thing and get this, she can actually act I MEAN SHE CAN REALLY ACT shes fucking amazing, she starred in 2 episodes of gossip girl most recently, check her out tho!



  30. 30

  31. 31

    Dakota allls growed up? I'm old.

    love both dakota and kristen i hope they are good friends, is this their first girl onscreen kiss, they will never forget their firdt, lol!!



  33. 33

    Cherie Currie is a rockstar. AND she makes chainsaw carved wood art.



  34. 34

    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.



  35. 35

    well u should see a pic of Currie when she was 15…. and then u could see the resemblance and that Dakota is right for the part..



  36. 36

    This pic looks REALLY fake…you can tell it was done on Photoshop - and not a very good job either.



  37. 37

    why have only 2 people mentioned the fact that their heads dont match their bodies…



  38. 38

    kristen does look like joan, but dakota could pull off cherrie.



  39. 39

    All blonde, white bitches look alike!!! They are a dime a dozen.
    Nothing great about them!! They are just white!!!!



  40. 40

    i think ICK!-sten needs to go away , far, far away! :(



  41. 41

    Kristen Looks More Like Joan.!!! They Should Have Got Someone Who Looks More Like Cherrie.!!



  42. 42

    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!!!



  43. 43

    why are ppl saying this is photoshopped?? u can imagine any pic to be photoshopped if you want!



  44. 44

    Her hair! WTF! I'm guessin Twilight girls lost their heads.



  45. 45

    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!
