Sapphic Salon: Kristen Stewart will share a mere moment with Dakota Fanning in "The Runaways"

Movies post by Natalie Stein on November 20, 2009 - 12:42pm; tagged Dakota Fanning, Joan Jett, Kristen Stewart, The Runaways.

At the premiere of New Moon last night, there were screams of "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob," but I was the only one thinking "Team Bella."

What I can't wait for is Kristen's turn as Joan Jett in The Runaways, a film about the first ever mainstream all-female rock band. I have faith that she'll do it convincingly, as she's spent a lot of time with the lesbian legend in preparation.
