'The Runaways' Cheat Sheet

The Runaways opens in limited release today (March 19 and worldwide on April 9) and to celebrate MTV has compiled their Runaways cheat sheet for us to check out before the movie.

Becoming Rock Goddesses
In June 2009, we got to see how committed Stewart was to getting into character when she appeared in public with her long hair chopped off — even though that would mean wearing a wig to play Bella Swan in "Eclipse." KStew also hit the recording studio to lay down some tunes with Jett. As Jett would tell us later, "She's an actress of weight, honesty, integrity and depth, and she's very serious. She takes it as art."

The Runaways Arrive
MTV News exclusively debuted the film's first teaser trailer in December, delivering our first glimpse at Stewart busting out the band's iconic tune "Cherry Bomb." By then, we already knew the film would have its world premiere at Sundance, and shortly before the January festival, some new footage and photos hit the Web.

Days later, Stewart took Sundance by storm. She and Fanning chatted with us about their kissing scene, their inner rock stars and their drug use in the film. We've been fans of their flick ever since.

Rocking the Red Carpet
With the movie's impending release, Stewart and Fanning have been everywhere: late-night talk shows, comic books and red carpets. Sitting down to talk with MTV News, the actresses discussed their dedication to their characters, how they bonded on set and how to capture the essence of a rock star.

Soon after, we again caught up with Stewart and Fanning, as they opened up about the film's biggest challenges, working with their real-life counterparts and their love for Lady Gaga. Finally, on Wednesday night on the New York red carpet, we talked yet again with the ladies. Stewart dished about her make-out scenes, while Fanning reveled in the fact that she gets to do what she loves for a living.

It's been a crazy ride for both of them, but that's all part of the fun. "I don't remember the last time I wasn't really freaked out before I started a movie," Stewart told us. "And the second you sort of get into the groove, you find it. It becomes what you thought it would be when you read it. You have to have that second [of fear], or else you're probably not doing something very worthwhile."
