One of the perks of being an actor is getting paid to get up close and personal with hot costars, and Robert Pattinson said he thoroughly enjoyed the love scenes with Emilie de Ravin in “Remember Me.” In a recent interview, the “New Moon” stud told press, “Yeah, I enjoy it. I’m a man. It’s part of the job!” Giving insight into the difference between men and women in those situations, Rob added, “It’s always scarier, much more scary, for the girls I think. Emilie was just completely comfortable in herself and it makes you feel so much better on the inside.” Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in "New Moon" (2009).

Robert Pattinson has learnt a lot about life in his 23 years.
The Twilight hunk tells us about his experiences of love, jealousy and growing-up.
He also delves into the pressures of fame and reveals how he chooses his films.
"Until the final, few frames of the trailer, Taylor Lautner keeps his shirt on while Robert Pattinson looks like he’s trying to keep from getting sick all over the flighty Kristen Stewart. Some of you may see this lack of skins in favor of shirts a hindrance, while others might be more inclined to watch the new trailer now. Nonetheless, to the rest of us, those who really don’t care either way, this looks like more of the same, more bothersome drama in the love triangle between a teenage girl, a vampire without fangs and who can go out in sunlight, and boy whose character was, evidently, ripped off by some Benicio Del Toro film. Courtesy of Yahoo! Movies, here is that new trailer. Enjoy!" Source: wearemoviegeeks.com

-I have two of them. On a good day, it’s a musical version of "Rebel Without a Cause," and on a bad day, it's a nighttime soap opera with some rock 'n' roll music. From a marketing perspective, it's a coming-of-age movie that works.
-And the actor Michael Shannon's take on you?
-Micheal's a genius. Michael is the new Christopher Walken.
-He comes off as a bit insane. Michael Shannon as producer Kim Fowley in "The Runaways".
-It’s Cherie Currie’s version. Remember, Cherie wrote the book, and they adapted her book for the screenplay. That’s her impression of me, and they expanded it and used poetic license.
-There’s an important line in the film in which the Kim Fowley character says the band is not about women's lib, but is instead about "women’s libido."
-That wasn’t my line. That was a line a writer or adapter created. I had a similar sentiment, but that’s not a quote.
-But I was curious of your reaction to the sentiment.
-The sentiment is right. I produced Helen Reddy, and she was a feminist. Her content and the Runaways content were different. I produced both of them.
-Was there something you wish the film had shown that it doesn't? -We had, I thought, a crusade, to save rock ‘n’ roll. There was no punk rock. There was no MTV. We had just gone through Vietnam. Kansas was really big. No Ramones. No Sex Pistols. The Runaways, for a very brief period of time -- August of 1975 -- was the only rock ‘n’ roll band in America. That’s what I thought was the story. That’s not the story on the screen. It’s a coming-of-age story about a girl and her family issues and her musical adventures. It’s Cherie’s story, and whether it’s entertaining or factual or sad or tragic, it’s her statement. It’s interesting, enjoyable and watchable, and from that perspective, it works".

"Dakota watched my [1980] movie Foxes. She sounds just like me," Currie proudly tells her identical twin sister, Marie, who has dropped by for a visit. Jett paces back and forth, wearing headphones and holding a portable monitor. "I don't want to be in Kristen's eyeline and freak her out," she says.
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning talk to Access Hollywood about "The Runaways".
Two weeks earlier, gossip blogs reported that Jett made Stewart cry on set, but Stewart insists, "That is totally bogus." Jett elaborates: "Whatever pressure Kristen felt, she put on herself. She knew that she had a lot to live up to, and she wanted to please me." Most of the crazy shit Cherie told us, we couldn't include -- it would be a completely different movie," says Stewart. "I don't wanna, like, out them, but they were pretty nuts." Likewise, there's no universally agreed-upon narrative. Jett calls Fowley, who cowrote many of their original songs, "a close friend," while Currie maintains he was "verbally abusive" and stole from the band. According to Shannon, Fowley told him over dinner, "It wasn't just me screaming at them. Don't make me look like a bad guy. When I'm dead, this is how people are going to remember me." Fowley's concern hints at the broader significance of films like these: They are simply more likely to be seen than a documentary. Add the hottest starlet on the planet, and the number of eyeballs increases exponentially.Guitarist Lita Ford, whom Currie claims "wasn't an easy person to get along with," and the unanimously adored but troubled Sandy West, the late drummer who co-founded the band with Jett in 1975, get less screen time; bassist turned lawyer Jackie Fox is depicted as a composite character for fear that she might otherwise sue. "I wouldn't want either of them to hate it, but obviously I have no control over that," Jett adds. Inhabiting such liberated -- if Quaalude-abusing -- characters clearly had an effect on its stars. As the filming winds down, Stewart retreats to her trailer to read lines with Jett and practice the guitar ("Put your pussy to the wood" was Jett's advice). In two days, the cast will travel to the outskirts of L.A. to reenact a 1977 Japanese gig, during which Currie rocked a white corset for "Cherry Bomb." Source: www.spin.com
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning at Sundance Film Festival 2010.
-I thought the performances were just incredible. I'm so glad Kristen [Stewart] and Dakota became good friends because the friendship between Joan and I was so important.
-In the movie, your character initially has a problem singing "Cherry Bomb", particularly the line "Have ya, grab ya, till you're sore." Were you really that naive?
-Not at all. I had no problem singing that line. The filmmakers took a lot of liberties. If you read the book, then you'll know that my twin sister's boyfriend had raped me and took my virginity. That's why I was angry, that's why I cut my hair to look like David Bowie's. I really felt that detail was important. The filmmakers didn't. They did not want the Cherie character to lose her innocence so early in the film". Source: www.spin.com

"We couldn't be more [like rockers]," Stewart explained of the gig portraying Joan Jett during her early days in the hard-partying all-girl band. "This is the biggest opportunity to be a rock star."
"Yeah, the closest I'm ever going to get is when I was performing 'Cherry Bomb,' " Fanning said of the signature song for Cherie Currie, which she sings in the movie at several clubs and house parties while being pelted with trash and flipped off by the very punk-rock crowds the band attracted. "I guess that was the biggest moment of being an actor: pretending to be a rock star. That's as close as I'm ever going to get."
"You literally are suited up and put in the exact same position [where a rocker would stand]," Kristen explained of shooting the biopic for filmmaker Floria Sigismondi, who captures the '70s rock scene with amazing attention to detail. "You couldn't [be any more of one] unless you really were a rock star."
"Which," Stewart added, making sure to be clear, "we both are not planning on doing." Source: www.mtv.com
Kristen Stewart On Set Interview The Runaways
Q: How difficult was it to tackle the sexuality in this film? Was it challenging at all?
Dakota: Cherie deals with sexuality different than Joan does. For her, it was all about putting on lingerie and going out there and growling at these people that were telling her that she couldn't do that. For her, that was her way of being different, and she got that through channeling David Bowie, who was extremely sexual on stage. That's how she dealt with that. Personally, I was really excited to do those scenes because that is a big part of who Cherie is. "Cherry Bomb" really sticks out in my mind and I was really excited to do that because it's her defining moment in her life and career. Joan Jett & Kristen Stewart in Sundance Film Festival 2010.
Kristen: It's what made them different. I'm actually a couple years older than how old Joan was, at that time, but at the same time, I don't feel that there's a whole lot of distance. I am that age. I am a youth. Joan really talks about it all the time, and it still really has affected her, that sexuality isn't respected if it's coming from young people. It can be a scary thing to consider because you're young and you don't know if you can handle it, but it's an undeniable thing that they're very sexual little beings, especially then. Personally, it was making a movie. But, just to think about it now, it is cool that the movie deals with that and says, "You know what? This is something to be seriously considered and not discredited." They're demanding freedom, which is just what the movie is about.
Q: Kristen, what did you think of the scene where Joan pisses on the guitar of the band that they're doing the gig with, after he's such a jerk to her?
Kristen: That's a cool little moment. She's got a very particular opinion about music and equipment. That guitar perfectly defined everything that she hated about what rock ‘n' roll was, at the time, and the guys who played it, so she wanted to piss all over it, and I liked that. That's the most rock ‘n' roll thing you could do. I really liked doing that.

"Joan Jett’s song I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll really says it all about the love lessons in The Runaways. It’s about challenges, twists and confusion that many of us felt as teens with raging hormones. Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - I Love Rock N Roll videoclip.
Rock-n-Roll Love Lessons
1. Rock-n-Roll Passions Challenge Love – What makes this movie so appealing is Joan Jett’s unstoppable passion to make her all-female rock band a success. While they are making history, their training is so intense that there is little room for romance. When their manager, Michael Shannon (Kim Fowley) has guys throw things at the girls during practice to make them tougher, it challenges all thoughts about romance.
2. Role Reversals Twist Romance – While we have seen many women succeed in their careers by thinking more like men, this role reversal can hurt the love department. When The Runaways’ manager advises them to think like a guy’s body part (fill-in-the-blank) when they perform, it’s so extreme that it twists what the teenage girls think about great love.
3. Love Experiments Create Complications – The girls experiment with love on the road with each other, in the shower and with other members of the road show. You’ll find this movie brings out the complicated feelings many of us felt about love as teens (and are so glad to be past these years!). Source: greatlifegrealove.com
