Talking about the racy scenes in the biopic feature, director Floria Sigismondi admits she would've gotten away with more than same-sex kiss if the 'I Am Sam' actress were older.
If she were a little bit older,
Dakota Fanning could have end up having a topless scene in "
The Runaways". Director Floria Sigismondi has made the revelation to Los Angeles Times when addressing the racy scenes she have for the biopic that follows
Joan Jett and Cherie Currie as they navigate a rocky road of touring and record label woes.
"There were a lot of things I couldn't do that I wanted to do," the 44-year-old helmer stated before mentioning about the topless part. "If I used an 18-year-old, I could've maybe had her topless ... just to give it a little more reality." She added, "The challenging part was all the rules. One person can be on the bed; the other person can't."
15-year-old Fanning has generated buzz when she is seen swapping spits with co-star
Kristen Stewart in one of the film's scenes. She, however, was quick to shrug off the hype surrounding the same-sex kiss. "I don't think it was ever a big deal to me," the leading lady of "
Push" told MTV at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
"The Runaways" centers its story around a '70s girl band of the same name formed by Joan Jett and Cherie Currie. It will follow the teenage band as they experience meteoric rise, and chronicle their dissolution and disillusionment. To be dropped in U.S. theaters on March 19, it has been premiered at the 26th Sundance Film Festival on Sunday, January 24.
