THEATRES
“In 1975,” starts the trailer to The Runaways,”rock was a man’s world. Until....”
The Runaways is the story of the musicians Joan Jett, Cherie Currie, Lita Ford, and Sandy West and their groundbreaking all-female rock group, which lasted from 1975-79. They came together in Los Angeles when they were still in their mid-teens.
The film is loosely based on the memoir Neon Angel, by band member Cherie Currie. and largely focuses on Currie and Jett.
Joan Jett was an executive producer of the film, and worked closely with Kristen in her portrayal of the teenage Joan.
Jett kept on blazing trails after she left the Runaways, forming her own label after 23 Record companies turned her down, becoming the first woman in rock to start her own label. And the rest is rock history. The music video for “Bad Reputation” is humorous retelling of that success story.
The Runaways is released in theatres March 19 and is rated R. Visit The Runaways at http://therunaways.com/ Joan Jett at www.joanjett.com/ and Cherie Currie at www.cheriecurrie.com/
