The Twilight star's first post-New Moon outing, The Runaways, in which she plays rock 'n' roll icon Joan Jett in the famed all-girl band, has landed a March 19 release date.
The music-fueled flick, costarring Dakota Fanning, Danielle Riley Keough, Scout Taylor-Compton and Michael Shannon, will bow in 1,400 theaters after having its world premiere on Jan. 24 at the Sundance Film Festival.
Trading Bella Swan's soft-on-the-eyes style for the decidedly harder-edged, mullet-sporting Jett, the creative force behind the SoCal-based all-girl Runaways, who hit the big time in the 1970s under Svengali Kim Fowley (Shannon).
Then it's just a few months until The Twilight Saga: Eclipse hits theaters June 30.
