Dakota Fanning is growing up. She is in talks to play lead singer Cheri Currie in The Runaways, the biopic of the ’70s all-girl band that will also star Kristen Stewart (Twilight) playing Joan Jett.dakotafanningserious

Scripted and directed by Floria Sigismondi, the film starts production in late spring.

Dakota is 15, the same age Currie was when she made her debut with the Runaways as the lead singer who belted out hard-edged tunes like “Cherry Bomb.” Currie became caught up in drugs and a hard-partying lifestyle.
