Framöver kommer det nog förmodligen ännu mer intervjuer med Kristen Stewart och Dakota Fanning i med att deras nya film The Runaways har världspremiär runt om på våran runda lilla jord! Denna intervjun blev det intervjuade av Carla Hay, de mesta frågorna är om hur det var att spela in filmen, om hur de spelade in musiken och massa mer.

What surprised you the most, in terms of what a rock band has to go through to make it big?

Fanning: I think my first taste of that was just being thrown into the recording studio to sing the songs. I haven’t rerecorded them to this day. Those are how they are and what is in the movie and on the soundtrack. So yeah, just being in the studio and realizing that’s what you’re doing today, which is kind of how the Runaways were back then, which was cool. They just [recorded a song] one or two times, and then that was it.

Kristen, you’ve played guitar for a long time and you write songs. How did portraying Joan Jett affect your real-life guitar playing, musical tastes or songwriting?

Stewart: It definitely got me playing more guitar. I have to say, when I play music it’s sort of nothing like Joan. She’s a rhythm guitar player. I’m like a weird, picky, manic [guitar player]. I play so differently from her.

I was really lucky to play guitar, because I had such a small period of time to learn the songs and stuff, and she has a very distinct way that she plays. Luckily, I didn’t have to worry about getting her sound right. When you hear guitar in the movie, it’s actually Joan playing. I had to learn the songs to look like [I was really playing].

What did you learn from Cherie Currie and Joan Jett?

Fanning: I think they were really involved in helping as much as we wanted them to help us and to be there. Playing a real person is kind of a daunting task, especially [with] Cherie actually being there and meeting her and talking to her about the experiences, it was more than helpful, I think.

Stewart: They knew things that we would never know that we wouldn’t be able to put in the movie that would be lost that were very important to them. Just details, photos and footage and a book ["Neon Angel"]. It’s not an objective telling of the story; it’s definitely [Cherie Currie’s] side of it. It was nice to hear Joan’s [side of the story], because it was very different. There are a million things that would’ve been different in the movie, and we would’ve been telling story wrong had they [Cherie Currie and Joan Jett] not been there to correct us.

How much did you study Cherie Currie’s and Joan Jett’s body language and how they carried themselves?

Fanning: I was definitely looking at the way Cherie was. Cherie on stage and off stage was very different, so I made sure there was a difference between the two. On stage, she emulated David Bowie and was bigger than life and had so much confidence. In real life, she’s very vulnerable and kind of has this innocence about her.
