Those of you who last saw Dakota Fanning playing the cute kid in War of the Worlds are in for a bit of a shock with the video below. The clip features footage from the forthcoming rock band biopic The Runaways and finds the 16-year-old Ms. Fanning performing the titular band’s track “Cherry Bomb” while clad in an array of raunchy outfits. Yep, it’s the dictionary definition of “good, clean, fun.” But only if you bought your dictionary from a cocaine-and-book dealer on the Sunset Strip in 1976.
Check out the clip and tell us what you think. Do Fanning, who plays singer Cherie Currie, and Kristen Stewart, who essays Joan Jett, convince as the Runaways? Does the video make you or more less excited about the movie, which opens March 19?
