Alas, Kristen Stewart emerges from her ongoing lunar cycles to try her hand at a role that’s not Bella Swan.

The trailer for ‘The Runaways,’ Cherie Currie‘s story of Joan Jett and the Runaways that had Stewart shaggy-haired for months, has finally hit the Internet.

In the clip, she and fellow ‘Twilight Saga’ star Dakota Fanning (who costars as the Runaways’ Currie) chronicle the rise of Jett and the band to rock stardom in the ‘70s. The clip sees sweat drenching, guitars strumming, cars peeling out of strip mall parking lots rebelliously — and that hair just keeps happening.

[For the record, 6:01 p.m., Dec. 17, 2009: An earlier version of this post incorrectly referred to ‘The Runaways’ a Joan Jett biopic; it is a history of the band the Runaways, which included Jett, based on the book ‘Neon Angel’ by fellow band member Currie. It incorrectly placed the movie in the ‘80s; it chronicles the Runaways in the late ‘70s. Thanks to commenter ‘me’ for making sure we get it right.]
