So we’ve already revealed the soundtrack details for “The Runaways” film and you’ve already heard the Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart-sung version of “Cherry Bomb” (the girls play Cherie Currie and Joan Jett from the seminal ’70s L.A. girl-rock band).
So now here’s the actual music video, which is directed by Floria Sigismondi, in that it is ripped straight out of the film (where the song pretty much plays out in full, music-video style). So not only is this the official music video, but a scene right out of the picture, which we saw last night (and actually, perhaps, the best scene in the movie, where all of a sudden the picture really comes to life cinematically).
Note, there’s not much score in the film, but what bits there are were composed by Lillian Berlin, the lead singer of the American alternative rock band Living Things and Sigusmondi’s husband. “The Runaways,” will open on March 19th in semi-limited release (220 screens in ten cities) then go wider April 9, when it will be upped to another 1000 screens. Here’s the newest trailer via MTV.
