Does anyone know if/when this is getting a UK release? I've trawled the internet and can't find anything. It looks like it could be a great movie, and I like Joan Jett so I'm interested to see how Kristen will play her. Also really eagar to see Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie.
Here's the trailer:

Unlike Robert Pattinson, Kritsen Stewart doesn't have a similar fanatical fanbase. You also have a film about an one hit wonder in the UK. She may be someone in the US. but not here, It would be like someone trying to release a film in the UK about Lena Lovich or Nena.
Thanks for the link.
That's so annoying. I really want to see it in the cinema because it looks great. And even if Joan Jett isn't so well known here, Kristen and Dakota surely could draw enough of an audience to justify a release?
British fans get the short end of the stick again, what a surprise. :mad:
thing is though, that is Hollywood. they don't care about anything but the $$$$$:mad:
If it starts making big money or picks up lots of awards somene will take a punt on it. As for your point about Kristen and Dakota justifying a release. Not a chance.
It's pretty much an well established fact going back over 30 years that actresses don't draw an audience as much as an aactor does. Partly it's down to the kind of fanbase they have compared to actors, partly it's down to the kind of films they make.
When you take the biggest stars like Julia Roberts, Jodie Foster and look at what they draw as leads it's less than half of the average top name actor.
Neither Kristen or Dakota are anywhere close to having the drawing power of people such as Julia, Jodie etc.
If you look at the current film starring Robert Pattinsson, Remember Me.
Opening weekend in the US = $8,089,139
Total a week later = $13,918,922 (increase by just over 50%)
Total after two weeks = $17,036,782 (less than double it's total from the opening weekend)
If you think how big Robert's fanbase is that isn't a huge amount. Robert is a star, he is popular with girls and Twilight fans, but he isn't a box office drawing actor yet.
Kristen and Dakota are going to make some big films before they get considered bankable.
How the hell she gets work is beyond me. She does seem to be a one dimensional, miserable.... going to stop now
