Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning: Runaway Babes
Drawing an end to a long week of promotional efforts, Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning held a press conference at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas on Thursday night (March 18).
Fresh off of flights from New York City, the duo took the stage to chat with festival-goers about their upcoming flick, "The Runaways," which hits theaters on April 9th.
Talking about the role, Miss Fanning recently told Parade, “I didn’t really have any doubts. I was OK with the gritty and the tough parts. That’s what I was most excited about because that’s when Cherie is really raw and open and you see her vulnerability. It was tough going to those places, but I’ve always been able to just go there and then come back. I’m able to leave it on the set. It’s not something that lives with me forever.
The 16-year-old adds, “I’ve never played an actual person before, so it was really wonderful to have Cherie Currie there on the set every day. And I just wanted to do her justice. I hoped that I could be half as good as she was and live up to what we love about The Runaways. I didn’t realize until the day I went into the recording studio, when it really hit me, that I was going to have to sing the songs, that my voice was going to be in movie. I just wanted to sing them right, the way Cherie does, because I knew that they were so iconic and so important to a lot of people.”
