Now that the rock biopic *The Runaways *is a hit at Sundance (see our review here), and since it will probably also be a success in theaters thanks to *Twilight *star Kristen Stewart’s involvement, it’s time to think about a sequel. Wait, to a biopic? Yes, to a biopic. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I hear it ends just as all the girls went their separate ways – Joan Jett (Stewart) beginning a solo career, Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning) going off to be in the movies, etc. – so why not keep following the lives of these characters?
However, I also hear that Michael Shannon, as producer Kim Fowley, is the best thing about The Runaways, and therefore instead of making a movie like *Bad Reputation: The Joan Jett Solo Story *or Cherie in Hollywood: The Making of Foxes, I propose that the makers of the first film continue Fowley’s adventures in…
The Runaways 2
Alternate titles may include The Runaways Too, *The Runaways Down Under *or Young and Fast. The last of these is the title of a Runaways album that Fowley produced with a completely new roundup of girls he found in Australia and New Zealand in the mid-80s. Sometimes the recording is credited to “The New Runaways,” especially since the original band members sued Fowley in the 1990s over ownership of the name.
