The Runaways, a ground breaking all girls band in the 1970′s are about to come to the big screen and Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning are bringing them there.

The movie follows Joan Jett and Cherie Currie as they move from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars that paved the way for girl singers and girl bands for generations to come.

Here’s a further synopsis from TrailerAddict:

Joan and Cherie fall under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley, played by Michael Shannon, who turns the group into an outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself—and so do its two leads: Joan is the band’s pure rock ‘n’ roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten. Written and directed by Floria Sigismondi, the film chronicles Joan and Cherie’s tumultuous relationship on and off stage, as the band starts to break out.
