'Twilight's' Kristen Stewart finds her Lita Ford

Already in production, the female biopic "The Runaways" has finally found its Lita Ford. 

 

"Twilight's" Kristen Stewart is already on board as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning is set as Cherie Currie, but Ford was a key role that still hadn't been cast in the story about the first real all-female rock band.  Now, according to Variety, director Floria Sigismondi has cast "Halloween" star Scout Taylor-Compton to fill the void.  Taylor-Compton will be seen in August when she reprises her role as Laurie Strode in "Halloween 2."
