Now Apparition has added another intriguing film to its collection: Floria Sigsimondi’s biopic The Runaways, starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning.
The film follows the travails of Joan Jett and Lita Ford’s first band, The Runaways. Kristen Stewart plays Jett and Dakota Fanning plays singer Cherie Currie; Scout Taylor-Compton is Lita Ford. Apparition chief Bob Berney told THR the film is “really a story of the two girls, Joan and Cherie. [Floria] did it really stylized, and it’s done in a real indie spirit, which I think is the spirit of the original group and Joan’s group. It fit with how we wanted to market it.”
Apparition sounds like they’re ready to go into Sundance will all guns blazing to get people to know about the movie. “…with that cast,” Berney says, “we’ll get so much interest and publicity that I think it’s better to have the plan and be ready to go and utilize the launch in a way that really helps the ultimate film launch.”
