What did you learn from Cherie Currie and Joan Jett?

Fanning: I think they were really involved in helping as much as we wanted them to help us and to be there. Playing a real person is kind of a daunting task, especially [with] Cherie actually being there and meeting her and talking to her about the experiences, it was more than helpful, I think.

Stewart: They knew things that we would never know that we wouldn’t be able to put in the movie that would be lost that were very important to them. Just details, photos and footage and a book ["Neon Angel"]. It’s not an objective telling of the story; it’s definitely [Cherie Currie’s] side of it. It was nice to hear Joan’s [side of the story], because it was very different. There are a million things that would’ve been different in the movie, and we would’ve been telling story wrong had they [Cherie Currie and Joan Jett] not been there to correct us.

Verdi-Corrente Prods. has signed “Twilight” actor Peter Facinelli to star in two features helmed by Michael Corrente.

The drama-comedy “Loosies” is in pre-production with production slated for mid-summer.

Biopic “Paz,” based on the life of boxer Vinnie Pazienza, will launch early next year. Facinelli and Chad A. Verdi will co-produce both films.

Facinelli played Carlisle Cullen in the first two “Twilight” installments and will return in the third pic, “Eclipse,” set for a June release. He also stars opposite Edie Falco in Showtime’s dark comedy series “Nurse Jackie.”

Facinelli penned “Loosies,” in which he’ll play a successful pickpocket in the New York living the outlaw lifestyle until confronted with an old one-night stand who tells him that she is pregnant with his child.

“Paz” centers on Pazienza’s comeback from a near-fatal car accidentk. Told by doctors he would never walk again, Pazienza trained in secret and was able to re-enter the ring.

Corrente’s producing both films and Chad A. Verdi’s is co-producer. Corrente’s credits include “American Buffalo,” “Outside Providence” and “Brooklyn Rules.”

“This film married my two favorite things in the world: music and fashion,” says Carol Beadle, who created the costumes for The Runaways, the much-anticipated biopic on Joan Jett and her titular proto-punk girl group. Beadle talked to us about evoking the late ’70s, working with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning (who play Jett and the band’s bombshell lead singer, Cherie Currie, respectively), and how to put a contemporary spin on Jett’s inimitable style.

Looks like The Runaway co-stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning are finally on the same page, when it comes to style! While the two couldn’t have been more oppositely dressed for the Sundance premiere of the new biopic, Kristen and Dakota both upped the glam factor for the NYC premiere or The Runaways in sexy short dresses! But which starlet worked their look best? Read more…

There’s still a little over three months to go until Eclipse hits theaters, but fans searching for a Twilight fix should look no further than Saturday’s DVD release of New Moon.

The second film in The Twilight Saga, saw Jacob (Taylor Lautner) transform from Bella’s (Kristen Stewart)’s best friend to aspiring boyfriend – not to mention into a wolf! – and found Edward (Robert Pattinson) facing the wrath of the vampire world’s ruling elders, the dangerous Volturi.

So before you Twi-hards can sink your teeth into the DVD, PEOPLE.com wants to know: Which New Moon scene are you dying to watch again?
