Dakota Fanning set to rock out

Dakota Fanning is ready to rock out. The 15-year-old will share the screen not once but twice with Kristen Stewart. In addition to playing Jane the vampire in “New Moon,” Fanning will appear in the Joan Jett biopic “The Runaways” and their co-star Scout Taylor-Compton insists their hard work in mastering musicianship has paid off.

“We performed for like eight hours straight. It was crazy. Basically, I felt like I was in a band and I miss it. I miss rehearsal,” said Taylor-Compton, who plays guitarist Lita Ford in the movie. Fanning plays Cheri Currie and Stewart portrays Jett.

“All of us had something to do. Dakota will blow your mind. She’s amazing in it and so is Kristen. We learned a lot of songs. We did a lot of performances.”

Taylor-Compton said that though she didn’t get to meet her on-screen alter ego, she loved having the chance to rub shoulders with the real-life members of The Runaways.

“I didn’t meet Lita but Joan Jett was always there during band practice, during the filming. She was always there, always hanging out with us. It was great. And Cheri Currie was there.”
