The Runways Joan Jett Movie with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning Released Early on iTunes! Availble Next Week on DVD

Runaways Movie Kristen Stewart Joan Jett

The Runways–for which Twilight Saga: Eclipse star Kristen Stewart cut her hair prior to filming Eclipse, much to the dismay of the studio and the resulting wig in Eclipse–has been released a full week early on iTunes.
I’m not sure if it’s a slip-up or not, but you can now buy it for $14.99 on iTunes a full week before its official July 20th release date.

Kristen Stewart plays legendary rocker Joan Jett in The Runaways, alongside Twilight co-star Dakota Fanning as Cherie Curie. Overall it received mildy favorable reviews, with a 70% rating from Rotten Tomatoes. Roger Moore from the Orlando Sentinel praises it–

A well-acted and vivid re-creation of a dark, downbeat era when “girls don’t play electric guitar,” and you had to be someone pretty tough and pretty special to try it.

Pre-order the DVD and Blu-Ray if you like your movies the phsyical way like me.

Robert Pattinson's 'The Summer House' available on iTunes today

'The Summer House'

One of Robert Pattinson's earlier works, a short film entitled The Summer House, is available on iTunes today for $1.99.
According to MTV, "First-time director Daisy Gili said she actually cast Rob because she was recommended him by Campbell Mitchell, who had worked on props for another of his early projects, The Haunted Airman. 'He said, this guy is amazing, and he's really nice, and I think he'd be really up for working on a short film,' Gili told MTV News. 'I saw a picture of him and I thought, he's fantastic.'"
Many more details about the film are available at MTV's Hollywood Crush.
