The first (I think) teaser is out for "The Runaways," billed as the story of the 1970s rock band that featured Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, among others, and that was popular on the Sunset Strip. Jett, of course, went on to form the Blackhearts, supposedly after placing an ad in the LA Weekly "looking for three good men," and has had a long career in music. Currie is a chainsaw artist in the Valley. She is played in the movie by Dakota Fanning.
Noted: Jackie Fox, who joined the Runaways as the band's bass player as a teenager, is now an entertainment attorney.
