The Runaways premiered in Los Angeles last night.

Focusing on the formation and development of a band led by Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, The Runaways has been well-received by critics. The singers are played by Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, respectively.

They posed together on the red carpet of the premiere, as Stewart even managed to crack a smile:

In a recent interview with SPIN magazine, Kristen talked about this role, compared to Bella in the Twilight Saga:

“I was terrified. I was going, ‘Oh my God, why the f-ck am I here?’ This was the coolest job I’d had - it was something different during a long stint of something very much the same. I knew I needed to cut off Bella’s long hair. I needed to be able to throw my head around and feel the sweat dripping.”
