More Dakota and Kristen from the Set of 'Runaways'

DateSaturday, July 4, 2009 at 4:16PM
We keep seeing a few pictures from The Runaways, most featuring either Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett or Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie. Now we see both of them together, courtesy of Just Jared.

Now, there has been some talk about Fanning being too young to play the lead singer of the all-girl 70s band, but at 15, she's the same age as Currie when she joined the band. You can make another argument that she's just "wrong" to play the part, but then you have to find a teenager who's "right." So just knock it off. She'll be fine because she has more experience than anyone else in the cast, and I don't know who else you're going to find who could pull it off.

The trick will be whether or not the girls in the cast can play music. It's always noticeable when the actors can't play instruments; the vibe of the movie kind of depends on it. That, to me, is a much bigger deal than whether or not Dakota Fanning can pull off the character of Cherie Currie.
