the film steers pretty clear of the more salacious side to the runaways' reality. it doesn' t linger long on the two teens' sexuality, expressed with both sexes and with each other. instead, sigismondi rushes back onstage for another performance or plays runaways music over the film' s many montages .

the runaways traces the short but wild career of one of the first all girl rock bands. the extreme attention to detail and accurate recreation of the 1970' s makes this film stand out from similar movies. the movie looks like it was shot on 16mm film and it has a real gritty, 70' s look to it. shot in a similar frenetic style to lords of dogtown, the runaways is a great film if you' re interested in the subject matter. worth buying for the music alone .

this focus makes sense creatively but also legally as the producers never secured life story rights for other band members. the film is loosely based on currie' s 1989 memoir ,
neon angel: the cherie currie story .
that book, however, delves more into currie' s drug addiction, one - film movie career and downward spiral than it does the runaways. jett, by the way, is the film' s executive producer .

release date: 6 november 2020. some speculators also think a blade film could fit in here, marking over 20 years since the first blade. but many believe the character may be better suited to a netflix series, as with daredevil and jessica jones. there’s also talk of a runaways film reaching cinemas at some stage .
aside from following the clichéd (if real) storyline, the runaways is plagued by something of a split personality, thanks to its two young stars .

the runaways were an all - female hard rock band from the seventies. despite having a very short career, the runaways hold the distinction of being the first successful all - female rock band, thus opening the door for a ton of other similar all - female / female - fronted bands. they have been cited as an important influence on the riot grrrl movement .
this is one of the rare times that i went to see this movie more than once. when i first saw it
i had no idea what to expect
and neither did the audience. everybody thought we were
seeing a comedy
. so the events in this film shook me (and the rest of the audience) to my core. what i saw was a film that did not follow the predictableness of a hollywood film. what i got was an eye opener. i loved the film regardless of the events that happen in the film. i do not want to give this entire film plot away but to me
everyone should see this film
. it is a statement on relationships and how things happen when you
never saw it coming
wow! !
that’s the soundtrack artwork up top and it’s pretty sweet, with a literal “cherry bomb” against the backdrop of a well - worn vinyl sleeve. the runaways soundtrack will be available digitally on march 16th, with a physical release planned for march 23rd. you can pre - order both formats over on the soundtrack’s official website. until then, check out the entire runaways track list below, and be sure to peruse our exclusive photos from the film set :
the audience included jett’s former runaways bandmate cherie currie, whose book “neon angel: a memoir of a runaway” was the basis for the film. jett asked currie to take a bow and also invited fanning and stewart, who portray currie and herself, respectively, to join the band onstage .

although the film does not include any 3 - d snippets, cinema - goers will get a tantalising view of the spectacle .
meanwhile, spider - man and black panther both seemingly fit well into the marvel cinematic universe, both debuting in the film .
bought this after watching the film. a really good soundtrack album and the new versions of cherry bomb and california paradise are excellent

the runaways biopic, starring twilight ‘s kristen stewart and dakota fanning, melted the snow at its sundance premiere and hits theaters across the u. s. on march 19th. while fans have gotten a few sneak peeks at the film via its teaser trailers, rolling stone now has your exclusive on what songs will feature on the film’s punk rock soundtrack. since this is a film about the runaways, the group’s catalog features heavily on the disc, and its track list is split between the original recordings and new versions by fanning, who plays cherie currie, and stewart, who portrays joan jett. rounding out the album are 1975 - era punk anthems by mc5, nick gilder, sex pistols, david bowie and more .
the runaways. if marvel wants to add a new ensemble - driven franchise to its universe, they should look no further than runaways. centered on a group of teens who try to atone for the crimes of their supervillain parents, runaways boasts a proportionate cast of male and female characters, and the characters themselves could not be more wonderfully different (a japanese goth girl! a lesbian space alien! an african - american child prodigy! a chubby girl with a pet raptor !). although a runaways film has been in multiple stages of development over the years, marvel shelved the project indefinitely in 2013 following the success of the avengers. but a script exists, and with inhumans yet to prove itself, marvel should start thinking about ensemble - led projects beyond 2018 .

if the single ‘cherry bomb’, had been released by a third rate male band, instead of the runaways, it would have been a big hit, sad but true .
“i’m excited that people who knew about the runaways will get reacquainted with them and the people who had no idea will get a chance to discover them, ” added jett .
maybe the film falls into the category of guilty pleasures. the dark ugliness on display - - the amazing drug abuse and pre - aids hedonism - - looks probably too exciting. while the film makes it clear its personalities suffered tremendously for their addictions, it all looks so glam .
the runaways debuted at last year' s sundance film festival, where it was fairly well received .
i' ll be blunt about this: i really wasn' t looking forward to this movie ,
wrote kevin kelly of cinematical. com .
hey, at least i' m big enough to admit i was wrong. the runaways rocked the joan jett / cherie currie backstory' s pants off (literally) .
through these stories and others, sahota moves some of the most urgent political questions of the day away from rhetorical posturing and contested statistics into the realm of humanity. the year of the runaways is a brilliant and beautiful novel .
this is such a good soundtrack of the film even though all the songs in the film are not all in this cd its still great value of money. there are such great traciks on there and its a mix of punk rock tracks i would buys this for anyone who likes this kind of music and i would rate this 5 / 5 i especially loved the film .
last, but certainly not least, comes thor: ragnarok, the third - and likely final - film centred on the asguardian warrior. recently, it was confirmed that benedict cumberbatch will appear in the film as doctor strange, alongside thor, loki, and the hulk .

after its world premiere at the sundance film festival on sunday night, reviewers started to weigh in on director floria sigismondi' s rock - and - roll biopic, the runaways. the critics seem to be more or less mezzo mezzo on the pic, as it has yet to receive any major raves or damning disses. but there does seem to be some dissent in the ranks as to whether sulky twilight star kristen stewart or the still - only - 15 - years - old dakota fanning turns in the best performance of the film .

from the low - key to the big budget blockbuster. the runaways was one of the most highly anticipated films of the festival - a biopic of the all - girl rock band from the seventies. it' s enjoyable stuff, even if it does fall in line behind every other band biopic. kristen stewart is surprisingly convincing as joan jett and the film succeeds in showing how the band both challenged contemporary gender politics and also became exploited by the very people who created their image .
fs: well, one of the things i was drawn to about making this film was that it was about young girls coming of age, and i thought, ‘how can i make a statement in the beginning of the film that personifies that time when a young girl is turning into a woman? ’ — and there was that very physical body change that leads to other kinds of body changes. [ laughs ] the film is about girls, and that seemed to me to kind of jump out as an interesting way of starting the film, to tell people where they’re at and what kind of film they’re gonna see — about these girls who are young and their bodies are changing. it also gave me the chance to set the tone and the exterior of the valley at the same time .
still, the critics’ response matters to a fair few people, mainly the cast, some of which have spoken about how the film being ‘made for the fans’ (one of who is attempting to sue the studio) .
if sigismondi is hoping to ape film - makers such as spike jonze, michel gondry and zack snyder by making the jump from music videos to film, the runaways needs to find some degree of critical favour. and yet it' s surely fanning upon whom all eyes will be focused. this is the first real adult role for the former child star of war of the worlds and charlotte' s web. currie was an electrifying stage presence, with charisma and attitude in spades. will fanning be able to rock the mic right ?
although neither a biopic nor a concert film about the famous / infamous 1970s all - female band the runaways, the film does prefer music and bad behavior to insight, character or substance. first - time director floria sigismondi, whose background is in photography and video, surfs along the surface of the' 70s rock scene in los angeles and, weirdly, tokyo, to scoop up photo ops, sound bites and glimpses of a hardcore lifestyle. the vigor and pace is electric, and the movie features three showy performances by kristen stewart, dakota fanning and michael shannon .
the runaways movie is all about the music, as it should be. here’s all 34 songs from the movie with notes on the scenes they were in. the soundtrack album to the runaways has less than half of the songs from the movie on it and you can only download it as all 15 or nothing. there are great tunes on it – so that’s not as big a deal for this album as for other soundtracks – but why should you have to snag all of them when just a few will do .
black widow. marvel fans have been clamoring for a black widow film for years, and scarlett johnansson proved her box office power earlier this year when her film lucy opened against hercules —starring international favorite dwayne johnson—and crushed it by $ 15 million. marvel studios president kevin feige claims there are no plans for a black widow film, citing the hugely important role she plays in the upcoming avengers - verse films as a reason. perhaps by the time the (presumably) final avengers film rolls out in 2019, demand will grow so intense that feige will have no choice but to give in .

a lot of people are re - tweeting total film' s guide to the film, perhaps the most interesting section of which is a diatribe from currie herself at sigismondi' s willingness to sidestep historical accuracy .
i couldn' t understand how someone who wasn' t there could even touch what it was like or the pivotal moments in the runaways ,
said currie .
but she' s a very artsy director, so it' s all about the visual and the impact that she, who didn' t live it, felt would be important .

the opening scene. a drop of menstrual blood hits the pavement. it´s not necessary much more to understand that it´s a movie about girls. with a sort of disappointment, i already knew what to and what to not expect, an apprehension confirmed right in the next scenes, dialogues between the sisters. it´s not only a film from a girl´s point of view, but it is also like any other music biography we´ve already seen. something like: turn up the sound and (try to) enjoy it. the film tells the story of the beginning of the band, its success and fall, but it´s not exactly a film about the runaways. it focus on cherie currie and joan jett, letting lita ford, jackie fox and sandy west

overall, the feeling seems to be that marvel has once again triumphed, creating a fun film with incredible set pieces. criticism has been levied at some pacing issues and villain baron zemo being ‘wasted’ (however, the director’s have previously said this film is meant to set him up for future evil doings) .

meanwhile, at the festival itself, jett herself turned up to play a live show with the blackhearts, which was duly attended by fanning and stewart. much fuss, was made, inevitably, of the rock chick look being sported by both young women, and yet neither the film' s positive critical reception, nor the star names on board, were enough to gift the film a wide release in the us .
“i think that would be fun to do. part of the reason we haven' t announced the stand alone superman movie at this time was to support some of the events of this film. ”
one thing to note; unlike the initial reactions to batman v superman, most of these reactions are from actual critics, many of whom have pointed out flaws in the film .
in recent weeks, more and more information about the film has appeared online. we’ve rounded up everything you need to know in this article, right here .
furthermore, much like the short career of the band itself, the film feels flimsy, throwaway: the ember of future greatness, but not the blazing fire. it' s possible that there really was not much more of a story to tell here, but two things are significant. firstly, the runaways' career in the film seems to be over in around six months, rather than the four years of reality. secondly, despite segues of lesbian love - making, masturbation, urination, drug - taking and bad language, all of which involve young women who are still in their mid teens, the movie still manages to feel a little sanitised and under - developed. perhaps that' s because the real - life runaways were also playing at being bad girls, rather than being truly nasty, but the film doesn' t shock as it ought to, and leaves us wondering how much has been left out. still, as the simple biopic of a band that burned the candle until it could burn no more, it works well enough as lightweight entertainment .

yes, the runaways is as filled with softcore underage lesbian sex as it is with rock - movie clichés, from the montage of rapid - fire ecstatic magazine and newspaper covers that take the group from obscurity to superstardom (in japan, at least, where the locals have a weakness for young girls in tight pants) to the use of blurry, distorted visuals to convey currie’s ever - deteriorating mental state during the proverbial nightmare descent into booze and pills. shannon plays fowley as the p. t. barnum of the sunset strip, a prankish provocateur whose tough love for his protégés looks an awful lot like emotional and verbal abuse. shannon gives the film an unpredictable, live - wire energy, but as it staggers into its third act, shannon more or less disappears from the proceedings, and the film focuses intently on currie (whose memoir inspired the film) and jett (who executive - produced). the runaways were the first major all - girl punk band. in honor of this distinction, they’re now the first major all - girl punk band to inspire a bleary, excessive, and altogether mediocre big - screen biography .

runaways
celebrates their music more than anything, even as it tries to give an impression of lives forever on the road where no one - - other than kim, who refuses to travel - - has a home. the film is not memorable in the sense one recalls it afterward only in flashes and impressions. no scene particularly stands out. and the performances hit emotional and physical highs very early and then stay there .
the runaways is notable for strong performances from stewart and fanning, even if the latter doesn' t quite nail currie' s onstage verve. for a film that' s supposedly all about girl power, however, it' s ironic that shannon' s rowley is the most vital spark, a looming spitball of rampant masculinity in the form of an eyeliner - sporting glam - rock grandad. whenever he' s off screen, the movie sags .
kristen stewart and dakota fanning star in this music - fueled story of the ground - breaking, all girl, teenage rock band of the 1970s: the runaways. the film follows two friends, joan jett and cherie currie, as they rise from rebellious southern california kids to rock stars of the now legendary group that paved the way for future generations of girl bands. joan and cherie fall under the svengali - like influence of rock impresario kim fowley, played by michael... full synopsis »

. however, the times are others. if the real runaways looked like what today would be twenty something, fanning and stewart fits perfectly into those seventeen years old. cherie currie was much wilder for sure (what can be perceived in her voice) but fanning makes a great job. like i´ve read somewhere, she is making the transition from child actor to a grown up actress in a strong way. speaking about looks, if you, like me, didn´t really know the runaways, but in the other hand knew

the third film by the 29 - year - old director who made a splash four years ago with

is his first to have a conventional plot. except for its suspenseful yarn of the two boys desperately evading the clutches of their murderous uncle, deel (josh lucas), the movie, which the new york film festival is showing this evening and tomorrow, is far from ordinary .
art linson is the co - producer of this engaging, small - scale film; he is famously the author of the hollywood memoir what just happened? in which he recounts the agony of seeing much - cherished projects getting buried or neglected by the studio. one of these was 2000' s sunset strip, his 70s rock movie that died a box office death. maybe the runaways is linson' s way of showing that he can make a success of this subject, and i think he has done, with a film that shows how brutal and sexist rock' n' roll is. there are some cliches (drugs on tour, montage of the band climbing the charts) and perhaps fanning looks a little fragile, but the film interestingly and sympathetically shows the human cost to jett and currie, who could never quite be sure if they had reached the promised land of stardom or not .
no track listing from amazon, so here you go: 1. nick gilder - roxy roller 2. suzi quatro - the wild one 3. mc5 - it' s a man' s man' s man' s world 4. david bowie - rebel rebel 5. dakota fanning - cherry bomb 6. the runaways - hollywood 7. dakota fanning - california paradise 8. the runaways - you drive me wild 9. dakota fanning & kristen stewart - queens of noise 10. kristen stewart & dakota fanning - dead end justice 11. the stooges - i wanna be your dog 12. the runaways - i wanna be where the boys are (live) 13. sex pistols - pretty vacant 14. joan jett - don' t abuse me this is a great soundtrack to an enjoyable film. music for the car i think. wish i had a convertible instead of a corsa, but there you go .
the film, from italian music video director floria sigismondi, shows how the aggressive girl - band both grew out of the english androgynous rock scene and was also a reaction against it. fowley sometimes affects to be irritated by these limp, fey mascara' d limeys, demanding the runaways show some balls. yet it was the pioneering gender - bending glam - rockers who somehow created the circumstances for an in - your - face female rock band, making an incursion into the macho rock' n' roll world .
worth watching for all fans of glam or glitter, runaways, joan jett, early 70s rock' n' roll, and' girl power.' the acting' s not too shabby and it' s really fun movie .
in the short breath between glam rock and punk rock, the runaways were the real deal, girls who could deliver raunch and roll. the ‘ch - ch - ch - ch - cherry bomb’ on the icing of this funny - sad coming - of - age drama / musical biopic is the postscript at the end in which we learn that cherie currie — on whose 1989 autobiography, neon angel, the film is based — is now a “chainsaw artist”. what could be more suitable for a retired hard rockin’, re - habbed wild child ?
these two narrative threads are linked using some of the same characters and locations. but while the latter strand appears to reflect ‘reality’ and the former, the imagination of a girl who conjures up the character of jane in an attempt to combat her isolation, the film intentionally leaves much of the plot open to interpretation .
dealing with runaways and transgender people in korea, jane is an impressive feature debut that intelligently grapples with these themes using a layered, enigmatic form of storytelling as it follows a korean girl who struggles with loneliness .
rt: a film can sometimes live or die on its opening shot, and yours — cherie’s first menstrual blood hitting the pavement — is a killer. what inspired that ?
hitfix got the chance to ask currie when we sat down with her during the sundance film festival, where the movie premiered jan. 24. were she and jett lovers, as the movie implies? did kim fowley have local boys throw dog poop at the girls to toughen them up? how did robert plant”s advice land the girls in jail? what shocking tragedy did the film makers leave out? what misunderstanding did she and jett resolve last month, 30 years after the band”s break up ?
makes clear, the vibe among the bandmates was never good, and since the music itself is secondary, there’s not a lot to this story. the film is all externals. shannon looks scary and stops the show with his rants, but he’s too endearingly damaged, too
i was in my early teens when the runaways emerged on the scene. i first saw them in circus magazine before their s / t debut was released. basically they were regarded as a joke, their main calling card was the jailbait angle. it’s sad that many of the all female groups who could fluently play their instruments, compose their own songs and record waaay before the runaways don’t get their due. i. e. fanny, birtha, the luv’d ones to namecheck a few. must be a real slap in the face to have to see joan and company get all this attention .
if you love glam rock, from suzi quatro to david bowie, then this is for you. of course, the runaways feature prominently, both the original band and the girls who play them so well in the movie. this is fun, rebellious and exciting - everything rock and roll should be. hail the queens of noise !
the cast for “runaways” includes gregg sulkin (“faking it”), ariela barer (netflix’s “one day at a time”), rhenzy feliz (“casual”), lyrica okano (“the affair”), virginia gardner (“the goldbergs”) and allegra acosta (“100 things to do before high school”) .
the three - day gross of darren aronofsky’s mother! was even scarier, though, and became the the butt of jokes after the paramount film landed an f cinemascore (“ mother! f”). the film with at least a $ 30m + budget before p & a was doa with a three - day cume of only $ 7. 5m. this as several other films are waiting in the wings this week to kick it further down the top 10 chart as the fall box office ramps up .
marvel’s runaways follows an incredibly diverse cast of six teenagers, none of whom have much in common, who are forced to unite against their parents when they discover they are part of an elite supervillain organization that controls los angeles called the pride .
another great scene in the film is dakota, as cherie, performing david bowie’s “lady grinning soul. ” you’ve actually directed clips for david — have you shown him that piece ?
the band was initially put together by sandy west and joan jett, who met producer kim fowley and managed to get him interested in the concept of an all - female rock band. fowley helped them recruit the other members - currie, the 16 - year old guitar wiz ford and, after a succession of bass players, fox - and produced their debut album, the hard rock / glam rock the runaways. released in 1976, runaways became a success with critics and the record - buying public alike, and gave the band its signature song ,
cherry bomb
. soon, the band found itself headlining shows alongside bands like cheap trick, the ramones and van halen .
release date: 27 july 2018. another justice league spin - off, jason momoa plays the leading man. furious 7’s james wan is on to direct, but little else is known about the film .
a surprisingly good film - well acted by a couple of up and coming actresses with probably big futures ahead of them and a great supporting cast. however if you want to get the real flavour of the music contained in the film i suggest you buy joan jett' s greatest hits greatest hits (2 cd set) instead, as this is better value for money and far more representative of the band .
the actor - musicians play and sing reasonably well, or at least fake it reasonably well. sigismondi' s collaborators, especially designer eugenio caballero and cinematographer benoit debie, make the film' s many environments reflect the colors and excesses of the' 70s .
release date: 12 july 2019. the concept of inhumans (or marvel’s mutants) has already been introduced in tv, through marvel’s agents of shield, yet the film is expected to introduce the royal family who have yet to be seen in the show .
release date: 1 may 2020. the first of three untitled marvel films. there are a couple of contenders, the first is a likely sequel to spider - man with sony, or a third guardians of the galaxy film, thus finishing the trilogy .
most critics have been kinder, however, and the film currently maintains a 68 %

a 2010 coming of age story about the first all - female rock band the runaways. in the middle of the 1970s, joan jett is sick and tired of the gender divide in rock music and decides to form an all - girl rock band. record producer kim fowley sees potential and assembles a line - up of aspiring female rock musicians. the only thing that' s missing is a singer... which all changes when fowley spots 15 - year - old cherie currie in a night club. the runaways are formed and it' s a tale of fame, fortune, drug abuse, cattiness and lesbianism .
writer - director floria sigismondi doesn’t offer a great deal of character study or revelatory dialogue. indeed, the lead trio bring more to the film than they were given on the page. the four years of the band’s life is also something of a blur, between the early tour of dives and the hysterical reception in japan that did in the girls’ heads. the formative days have the most going for them, the film eventually falling into the predictable showbiz decline story of a drugs and sex meltdown. for the boys there’s some dainty girl on girl action and an abundance of the band cavorting in their panties. it doesn’t get a lot deeper than that, though the soundtrack and atmosphere are a blast.
