Kirsten Stewart is behind the up and coming movie The Runaways. This movie chronicles the journey of the group with the same name in the mid seventies.

They did not only make it big here in the U.S, since they also became quite popular in the rest of the world. They particularly stamped their band's worldwide fame when they reached Japan. Their hit song Neon Angels on the Road to Ruin stayed popular for a very long time there and in most of the world.

She has a steamy scene with fellow popular actress Dakota Fanning. This scene has catapulted the movie to newer heights of popularity. It has made the internet world searching and reading about the movie months before its release. Kirsten even remarked that doing the steamy scene with Dakota Fanning was undoubtedly awkward at first, but then became easy and free flowing later on.
Kirsten Stewart will prove in this movie that she can outdo her stellar performance in the Twilight saga. The making of the Runaways proves that her role is a tough one, but she is definitely up to the challenge. The Runaways is due for release in 2010.
