First Poster For The Runaways Is Meh

I can't seem to make my mind up about The Runaways. On the one hand, the film is about a terrific rock and roll outfit and is being directed by Floria Sigismondi, who seems to know something about music. But on the other hand, it stars Kristen "Dead Behind The Eyes" Stewart and Michael "Gives Me Nightmares" Shannon (he may be a great actor, but I'm convinced the man moonlights as a serial killer.) Unfortunately, the new poster isn't helping the decision making process.

MTV has unveiled the first poster from the film and...it's a cherry bomb. Get it? Like the band's biggest hit? Just like everything we've seen from the film so far, this poster leaves me wading in the shallow end of the pool, not 100% ready to dive into the deep end but also not ready to get out. Check out the poster below (sorry for the banner at the bottom).
