This is going to be a lot different than being in love with a vampire right? Kristen Stewart is going to have to bring a ton of energy to her next movie, a Joan Jett biopic.
What is the actress doing to prepare for the role?
"I’m just listening to her music all the time. I spent New Year’s with her. I’m trying to just make myself aware of the time period and what she was going through."
Thank goodness for Kristen, Joan is excited about the casting for her movie.
"Kristen should make a really good me… She has the passion for it."
But Stewart admits she’s feeling the pressure that comes with playing a real person onscreen. Who wouldn’t!!?
"It’s one of the most immense responsibilities to play a real person. Her story’s important. It’s an incredibly triumphant feminist story really.
"She’s the first woman to ever start her own record label. She’s just a good person. She’s got ambition. She’s got conviction. She’s cool. So many people know her as just being like one of the coolest people to ever live. That in itself is one of the most intimidating things that I’ve ever had to confront but she’s so cool too. She’s one of the nicest, most soulful women I’ve ever met. It’s an honour, but it really is."
And just because I absolutely adore Joan Jett, click on the continue reading links to see a few of her videos!!
I pretty much agree Kristen does not have the acting chops to pull this off. And even more embarrassing is Dakota is going to show her up. That is what is wrong with casting the it girl of the moment… A few years ago it would have been Lindsay Lohan.
none of those shoes (when you scroll over the picture) are anywhere near close to resembling what she has on. plus they are all double the amount the shoes she is actually wearing.
she’s wearing vans skate hi’s for $55-$65 at vans.com
Screw this flavor of the month and her delicate features. They should have gotten A. Argento to portray J. Jett.
I think Kristen is going to be great Joan, she is so devoted to every role she does and for me she is the best young actress, and I am looking forward ti watch this movie!
You are so jelous, you did not evan give her a chance and alreday you dont like it!
So did any of you watch how AMAZING Kristen was in The Runaways?! She really nailed the role. She can even sing JUST like Joan Jett, didnt expect that did you?
Oh and NEVER compare her to LiLo. Thats insulting, Kristen would never be like that. Stop spending your time hating on her and get over yourself.
I hope the movie is good. Long live the 80s!!
Good for her! Now if everyone could form original thoughts and refuse to use the word twilight in this post…
Love J.J. I really am anxious to see Kristen’s transformation in this movie!
Uhh who wrote the corresponding lyrics to the “I hate myself for loving You” video??? How completely wrong can they be?!
I’m having a premonition: this movie is going to suck.
Joan Jett rules! But I feel like this movie may be a bomb…Kristen just doesnt do it for me as an actress.
I cannot wait for this movie! Also, with the rumor of Dakota Fanning also being casted.. it’s going to be good. Kristen is really talented, and I am looking forward to see how she handles this role.
OMG! A JJ biopic! Awesome! Joan is such an icon in music, fashion, supporting troops in Iraq .. just as a strong woman. Love her! Om Peace!
Kristen Steward has the acting talent of a plank of wood. This movie is going to suck.
