Stewart, will play a boy and Nikki Reed, Twilight’s Rosalie, will play a 30-year-old man. Stewart’s mom, veteran script supervisor Jules Stewart, will direct. In the press, Kristen described the flick K-11 as a “comedy-drama" saying “… [The unit is] full of eccentric, crazy, off-the wall characters, and me and Nikki play two of them … It’s a really sweet but really screwed up family in there.”
“The Runaways,” centers its story on Joan Jett and her fellow band member Cherie Currie and follows the girl band from their meteoric rise as teenagers to their dissolution and disillusionment. The screenplay written by video director Floria Sigismondi, will also direct the feature project. Kristen Stewart will play Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning in the role of Cherie Currie. Recent reports that Revolutionary Road’s Michael Shannon is in negotiations to play one of the few male roles in the biopic.
