Franck Tabouring "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart is all set to rock 'n' roll as Joan Jett in "The Runaways," a big-screen biopic of the popular girl rock band.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Floria Sigismondi wrote the screenplay and will direct the feature, which is scheduled to head into production sometime next year.
The plot will focus on the formation of The Runaways all the way to the end of their career as a group. The all-girl band came together in 1975, producing famous songs such as "Cherry Bomb" and "Queens of Noise."
Jett, the lead character in the movie, later formed the Blackhearts and returned back to fame with "I Love Rock N' Roll."
Stewart is currently onscreen in the adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight." The actress already committed to shooting the sequels to that film, but the trade says "The Runaways" will not interfere with that schedule.
So, are you ready to rock with Stewart? What do you think of her portraying Jett? Does she have what it takes? Let me know below.
