'The Runaways'
Two films done by The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse stars are headed to SxSW (South by Southwest), a film festival that takes place this March.
According to Larry Richman with Pro Networks, both The Runaways (with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning) and The Loved Ones (with Xavier Samuel) were selected for the conference.
The Runaways is one of the festival's "headliner" films, and Richman's review of the film is available here. The Runaways was featured just recently at the Sundance Film Festival as well. The film chronicles the rise and fall of the groundbreaking all-girl band of the same name (led by Joan Jett and Cherie Currie).
The Loved Ones is listed as a "Midnighter," and Richman's review of that film is available here. The Loved Ones was also featured at the Toronto International Film Festival last September.
The film's description on IMDb is as follows:
In order to avoid a ghostly figure in the road, high school senior Brent Mitchell wraps his car around a tree, killing his father. Constantly confronted by his mother's emotional collapse after the accident, Brent escapes into a marijuana fueled world of loud metal music to block the pain and guilt. Dejected and out of sorts, he has a shot at happiness with his girlfriend Holly, a grounded, caring girl with drop dead good looks, a dream date for the high school prom. But his plans are thwarted by a disturbing series of events that take place under a mirrored disco ball, involving pink satin, glitter, syringes, nails, power drills and a secret admirer. Brent has become the prom king at a macabre, sadistic event where he is the entertainment.
SxSW takes place from March 12th to March 20th in Austin, Texas. Just recently it was announced that Twilight soundtrack contributor Bobby Long would also be appearing as a musical guest for the conference's music show.
