Bad Reputation, the new documentary chronicling the wild life of Joan Jett, hits theaters nationwide September 28th.
Best known for timeless hits like I Love RockNRoll, Joan Jett is one of the greatest guitarists to have walked the earth and she is no stranger to the silver screen. She landed her first movie role opposite Michael J. Fox in the 1987 musical drama, Light of Day, and went on to play herself in many others. In 2010 her former band of teenage drama queens, The Runaways, got the Hollywood treatment in the biopic of the same name,in which Jett was played by Kristen Stewart, co-starring Dakota Fanning as lead singer Cherie Currie. Now in her upcoming documentary, Bad Reputation, Jett airs out the good, the bad and the downright ugly of her coming of age as a young woman in rock & roll.
Youd get spit on, Jett explains in an exclusive clip. I felt like I couldnt leave the stage The other girls got tired of it, and I dont blame em. Its just that, to me, it felt like that was what I had to do.
Directed by Kevin Kerslake, Bad Reputation made its world premiere at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. The film unveils archival footage from Jetts freewheeling years as a punk, to scenes from her present day as a seasoned rock star and activist. It also features colorful commentary by Jett herself, who is joined byher trusted songwriter-producer Kenny Laguna, Billie Joe Armstrong, Debbie Harry, Iggy Pop, Pete Townshend,Miley Cyrus and more.Bad Reputationwill also be available for streaming on iTunes and on Amazon Prime.
Tell me I cant do something, says Jett, and you be sure Im gonna be doing it.
