Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning debut 'The Runaways' in Hollywood [pictures]

"The Runaways" finally hit Hollywood on Thursday night, with stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning among those celebrating the rock flick's West Coast premiere.

At the ArcLight Cinemas' famous Cinerama Dome, Stewart and Fanning were joined by Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, whom the starlets portrayed for director Floria Sigismondi.

Taylor Lautner surfaced, getting mobbed with questions about "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" on the red carpet before dipping into the screening.

Stewart joined Sigismondi, Michael Shannon and Fanning briefly at the film's after party in a private space behind Amoeba Music on Sunset Boulevard.

Dave Grohl showed as well, munching on grilled cheese and swigging a beer as 1970s tracks from the original Runaways pumped over the speakers.

i was a teen age boy in 1976 i loved the runaways,then and now! its to bad that they didn't do this b.4. the untimely death of sandy west so that all 5 of the original girls/women could be their! can't wait to see the movie and see if it's any good,perhaps buy it on dvd and add it to my collection?? time will truly tell because they we're never given a fair chance,by the critics of that day,they we're just as good as heart as rockers and better than any girl group in the 1980s,i loved their first 2 albums they we're the best,the debut 1976 and queens of noise 1977,after the original line up was gone i wasn't interested in them anymore,but as far as curisity is concerened they have stood the test of time,as have many other bands from that timeframe....sincerly...tonylfriend....have a gay day....thanks....
