With The Runaways band cast and already shooting scenes, fringe roles are starting to fill in.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Brett Cullen has joined the cast to play the alcoholic father of Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning) father. Brett is expected to draw the character’s traits from Cherie’s memoir “Neon Angel” as well as his countless years of television and movie work including the original V, Lost, and Gridiron Gang.
In addition to Dakota, The Runaways stars Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett, Scout Taylor-Compton as Lita Ford, Alia Shawkat as fictional Robin (since legally Micki Steele’s name cannot be used), and Stella Meave as Sandy West. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out the first pictures of all five Runaways actresses in character either rehearsing or shooting a scene.
The Runaways will be in theaters sometime in 2010.
