Joan Jett has always been one of my favorite singers. I’ve been looking forward to seeing the movie The Runaways since I heard that it was going to be made. It’s due out in March and the great thing is that Jett thinks Kristen Stewart’s portrayal of her is “amazing.” And I like what Stewart has said about Jett:
It’s one of the most immense responsibilities to play a real person. It should just be done justice. I mean, her story’s important. It’s an incredibly triumphant feminist story really… So many people know her as just being like one of the coolest people to ever live and that in itself is one of the most intimidating things that I’ve ever had to confront but she’s so cool too. She’s like one of the nicest, most soulful women I’ve ever met. It’s an honor, but it really is.
Here’s the trailer for The Runaways:

I like that she saw how important the role was. She has humility and that’s a refreshing thing. I felt she did the role justice.
