Here's your dose of film news for June 1, 2009:

• Lucy Punch, whose credits include "The Class" and "Hot Fuzz," will replace Nicole Kidman in Woody Allen's upcoming film. Plot details are still kept under wraps, but the cast also includes Freida Pinto, Naomi Watts, Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas and Josh Brolin. (Variety)

• Oscar-nominated actor Michael Shannon ("Revolutionary Road") is almost set to star in "The Runaways," the biopic of the popular girl rock band. He's joining Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart. The plot will focus on the formation of The Runaways all the way to the end of their career as a group. (THR)

• Because I don't think the MTV Movie Awards deserve a separate entry, here are some winners: "Twilight" wins best movie; Kristen Stewart wins best actress; Zac Efron wins best actor; Heath Ledger wins best villain (only decent outcome); and Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson win the award for best kiss. Yeah, the MTV Movie Awards suck indeed.

Dakota Fanning is ready to turn into a rocker... on the big screen, of course.

The 15-year-old actress is in talks to join Kristen Stewart in "The Runaways," the biopic of the popular girl rock band. According to Variety, Fanning would play singer Cheri Currie.

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."

Stewart is on board to play Joan Jett, who later formed the Blackhearts and returned back to fame with "I Love Rock N' Roll."

Floria Sigismondi wrote the screenplay and will direct the feature, which is scheduled to head into production sometime this year.

Fanning most recently starred in "Push" and did voice-over work for "Coraline." She has also been rumored to star in "New Moon," which recently started shooting.

"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.

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.
