Kristen Stewart star of Twilight and New Moon is working on a new film in which she plays a young Joan Jett in the upcoming biopic The Runaways. It is being reported that she cried after the iconic rocker gave her a hard time on set last week.

Kristen, best known for her role as Bella in the Twilight films, burst into tears after Joan harshly critiqued her performance in front of the rest of the cast.

“Joan just wants Kristen to play an authentic version of herself, so she needled her a little bit too much. But she apologized when she realized how upset Kristen got,” a spywitness told The NY Daily News Tuesday.

Alia Shawkat, the Maeby Funke of FOX’s TV series ‘Arrested Development’, reportedly will be portraying Robin, while Tatum O’Neal is set to star as Dakota Fanning’s mother in the biopic.

Following the addition of Scout Taylor-Compton, two more actresses are said to be joining the cast of “The Runaways”. Latino Review broke the news of Alia Shawkat’s casting, whereas Life & Style came out with the story that Tatum O’Neal has been tapped to star in the biopic movie.

Shawkat who plays acerbic teenager Maeby Funke in FOX’s comedy series “Arrested Development” reportedly will be playing a character named Robin. Latino Review describes Robin as an 18-year-old tall and slender bass player who is the oldest and most feminine of the band, hinting further that the character may have been created in essence of the band’s original Micki Steele.

Meanwhile, Academy Award-winning O’Neal will take the role of a mother. The 45-year-old daughter of actor Ryan O’Neal allegedly has been cast to play the mother of Dakota Fanning’s character, Cherie Currie. Read full article.

Thanks to Comingsoon, we now know that Eclipse will begin filming August 17th to October 31st in Vancouver!

Summit Entertainment will film The Twilight Saga: Eclipse from August 17th until October 31st at Vancouver Film Studios. David Slade (30 Days of Night) will direct from a script by Melissa Rosenberg.

In the third installment of the franchise, coming to theaters on June 30, 2010, Bella (Kristen Stewart) once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward (Robert Pattinson) and her friendship with Jacob (Taylor Lautner) — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.

The second film, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, hits theaters on November 20 and was directed by Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass).
