IMDb (internet movie data base) has updated again and this time they added the word "rumored" for Stella Maeve to portray Sandy West.

Special thanks to Wasted for the update, on The Runaways board!

The Runaways Message Board - Stella Maeve Rumored to be Sandy West

Stella has an interesting resume. I wonder if she is musically inclined!
Research time!

Kristen Stewart doesn't feel under pressure playing Bella Swan.

The New Moon actress thinks playing Joan Jett in The Runaways will be a lot more intense.

Kristen is really excited about playing Joan but isn't sure if she will be singing any of her songs.

Her New Moon co-star Dakota Fanning is also going to be in the movie which is released next year.

Kristen told Filmink: "I don't know if I'll be singing or lip-syncing. Joan kind of yells so I can do what she does.

"I'm not sure what will happen, but it's not up to me. I got to hang out with Joan Jett over the holidays, and that is the coolest thing I've ever done.

"She told me the whole history of her band and her life and what music means to her. It's an enormous responsibility to play her.

"When Twilight came out, people were like, 'Oh, wow! The expectations of the fans must be really intense.' But this is way, way, way more intense.' I have to handle the expectations of Joan Jett! I'll take the vampire fans any day!"

Hey the word "rumored" has been removed from the IMDb cast list. It looks like Stella has been confirmed!

Kristen Stewart ... Joan Jett
Dakota Fanning ... Cherie Currie
Stella Maeve ... Sandy West

Is Kristen Stewart's trip to voice studio a sign that she'll sing in The Runaways?
KS1

When we discussed whether The Twilight Saga: New Moon star Kristen Stewart would sing in her up-coming film The Runaways (in which she plays Joan Jett opposite co-star Dakota Fanning (who plays Cherie Currie)), many said an emphatic yes.
Well, this week, Kristen Stewart has been spotted coming to and fro a "voice studio" in Los Angeles.
Stewart, who sang alongside Emile Hirsch for the Sean Penn-directed film Into The Wild, has a rather honest and pleasant sound, and she is said to also be rather talented at playing the guitar.
We all remember how well stars like Reese Witherspoon in Walk The Line were able to recapture the sounds of legend, and Stewart is no less capable at that endeavor.
What do you think? Think the trips to the voice studio mean she'll delight us with her own music in The Runaways?

'Runaways' Biopic Finds Its Lita Ford: Alessandra Torresani

Actress will join Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning in the all-girl band.

281x211

Next week, Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning start rocking out on a biopic about four teenage punk pioneers. Now, we've got the scoop on the final female who'll help get the band back together.
"We just closed everything," Alessandra Torresani revealed to us Sunday. "It's really exciting."
The 22-year-old Torresani ? a former child star who has more than 20 TV and film credits in the last decade ? is the final member to join "The Runaways," a high-profile biopic about the [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMDn6V7ZLhE"][COLOR=#0000ff]"Cherry Bomb"[/COLO"]YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.[/nomedia] band. With Stewart set to play Joan Jett, Fanning onboard as Cherie Curry and Stella Maeve cast as Sandy West, Torresani will play one of the band's most notable alumni.
"I'm playing Lita Ford," Torresani said of the heavy-metal icon behind such hits as "Kiss Me Deadly" and "Close My Eyes Forever." "She's the most incredible woman. I'm getting to meet her very soon, so that'll be amazing. I'll get to hear all her old stories.
"There's some kick-ass girls in the movie, right? It's going to be great," laughed Torresani, who we caught up with at Hollywood Life's Young Hollywood Awards. "We've got some good girls in there."
To land the role with director Floria Sigismondi, Torresani said she researched some clips of Ford online. "I also looked at this little documentary about [the Runaways], and then went from there," she explained. "We start [filming] next week. Everything's just coming together right now."
The Runaways were a particularly dynamic band during their brief 1975-79 run because Jett and Ford (who joined the band when she was 17) were formidable guitarists. Now, Torresani laughed, she has less than seven days to learn how to convincingly wield her axe.
"I learn the guitar starting [Monday], so that'll be interesting," she laughed. "I'm very nervous about it."
Torresani told us she'll be picking up the guitar as she meets Stewart, Fanning and Maeve for the first time and that the newly formed band has less than a week to rehearse. "I haven't met any of the girls yet. I'll meet them soon. I see them tomorrow, so that's soon enough," she grinned. "I can fake [the guitar]. I can rock out. I'm a dancer, so I'll fake it."
A professed "Twilight" fan, Torresani also told us that she's eager to meet "New Moon" stars Stewart and Fanning. "I love 'Twilight.' Who can't love vampires, right?" she grinned. "And Robert [Pattinson], of course. Gorgeous!"
