BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Joan Jett's 'BAD REPUTATION' In theaters & on demand September 28th

Joan Jett is so much more than “ I Love Rock ’n’ Roll .” It’s true, she became mega-famous from the number-one hit, and that fame intensified with the music video’s endless play on MTV. But that staple of popularity can’t properly define a musician. Jett put her hard work in long before the fame, ripping it up onstage as the backbone of the hard-rock legends The Runaways, influencing many musicians—both her cohort of punk rockers and generations of younger bands—with her no-bullshit style. Bad Reputation gives you a wild ride as Jett and her close friends tell you how it really was in the burgeoning ’70s punk scene, and their interviews are laced with amazing archival footage. The theme is clear: even though people tried to define Jett and keep her stuck to one hit, she never compromised. She will kick your ass, and you’ll love her all the more for it. On September 26th, there will be an advance one-night-only screening featuring exclusive footage that can only be seen in theate

There were no girl rock and roll bands at the time, and thanks to Joan Jett, The Runaways were born leading the way for future all-girl bands. Jett, played by Kristen Stewart, bravely and casually approaches record producer Kim Fowley (Shannon) outside of a night club and states with conviction “I want to start an all girl rock band.” That’s all it took for the idea of The Runaways to be born. From there, Jett, West (Maeve) and Fowley seek out the rest of the band, which includes Lita Ford (Taylor-Compton) and Cherie Currie (Fanning). Jackie Fox is not represe
