Kristen Stewart has been receiving extra leading-lady credit since the Twilight blockbuster madness hit theaters...
The overwhelming response to her enchanting role as Bella Swan has movie offers pounding at la puerta with full-force. The bella brunette will star in the movie, The Runaways which will chronicle the rise and fall of the first successful all-girl band. Kristen's latest role will have her digging into her roquera spirit as the hardcore pioneer Joan Jett.
The band was initially seen as a novelty act, something that could be easily marketed as "jailbait on the run" dressed in leather and lingerie. However, the girls were all serious and skilled musicians who made their mark on the punk-rock scene and became hugely influential. The film is expected to begin shooting in early 2009 and will work around Stewart's commitment to New Moon, the Twilight sequel that also plans to shoot early next year.
