The Runaways cast and crew descended on Austin tonight to celebrate the premiere of their rock and roll movie in during SXSW. On hand were Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning, and director Floria Sigismondi along with original Runaways singer Cherie Currie (who Fanning plays in the film) and record producer Kim Fowley (played by Michael Shannon in the movie). They started out on the red carpet but the girls changed clothes to get comfortable for the post-film Q&A, where a passionate Stewart grabbed the mic to defend the film against an angsty runaway fan and director Sigismondi suffered a slight wardrobe malfunction.
