'The Runaways' News! Kristen Stewart And Dakota Fanning Flick Will Screen At South By Southwest

Hot off the heels of premiering at Sundance last month, "The Runaways" will make its second public appearance in Austin, Texas at the South By Southwest film festival in March. The SXSW featured films were announced this week, and "The Runaways" was one of seven "Headliners" selected by the festival.

Along with "The Runaways," the Duplass Brothers comedy "Cyrus" starring John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill, and the Bill Murray and Robert Duvall film "Get Low" are reappearing after Sundance. Two exciting films that are premiering for this first time at SXSW, however, are the much anticipated "Kick-Ass"(which will be the opening night film) and "MacGruber."


"Twilight" fans rejoice, because Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning won't be the only "Twilight" stars with films showing at the festival. Xavier Samuel, who won't really enter the Saga until this summer's "Eclipse," has his film "The Loved Ones" screening at the festival as well. The film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last year, but this is the first time the film is hitting the States. It is in the "Midnighters" category of the festival, which we believe is self-explanatory as to when the film will be screened. ("Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil" is also in this category.)

With the focus of SXSW being a combination of film and music, it seems like the prime place for Kristen and Dakota to hop on stage and perform with Joan Jett & The Blackhearts like they did at Sundance. While we haven't seen any confirmed appearances, we wouldn't be surprised if all three made their way down south to promote the film. Which leads us to wonder: when will "The Runaways" premiere on the East Coast??
