From The Runaways New Kristen Stewart Photo

March is just around the corner, and on the 19th of next month we’ll see Kristen Stewart spend a good chunk of time doing her best Joan Jett impersonation. The young actress can be seen in theaters this weekend in the limited release The Yellow Handkerchief, but if punk rock biopics are more your style you might want to wait for The Runaways. A new photo has been released of Miss Stewart in character as Jett with her black mullet and all, take a look…

The Runaways were one of the greatest punk bands to come out of the 1970s Los Angeles music scene. Not only was their music legendary, but they were one of the only successful female groups in the male dominated genre. Their music was off the charts and so was their lifestyle. The film focuses on the duo of guitarist/vocalist Joan Jett and lead vocalist Cherie Currie as they deal with fame, drugs, and abuse all before their 18th birthdays.

In this latest photo from the film we see a barely dressed Joan Jett rocking out in her guitar in a rundown bedroom. The actress definitely mastered the semi-cracked out look the band had back in the day, and if she can do some decent guitar miming we might have a winner.
