Okay, I just watched this (above) video over at Dlisted, and I was totally blown away by Dakota Fanning. She filmed The Runaways when she was 15 years old, y’all! And just watch the video – which I guess is the official music video/trailer for “Cherry Bomb” from The Runaways. It rocked my socks off. Even though Kristen Stewart got most of the publicity in previous months for this stuff, it doesn’t really look like her Joan Jett does anything but run around sulking (much like Kristen in real life). But Dakota as Cherie Currie? Oh. My. God. Mark my words, come awards season – approximately 9 months from now – Dakota will be a contender.
I’m not the only one noticing. The NY Post declares that The Runaways will be “all about DakFan” while EW applauds the focus on Fanning. Seriously, this little girl is doing things on film that full-fledged women would balk at.
There are three more songs from The Runaways soundtrack here – including the song “California Paradise”.
Here’s the latest trailer for The Runaways. I got chills when I heard “Crimson and Clover”. It’s spooky how good this film looks:
