The film, which premiered in January at the Sundance Film Festival, was directed by Kevin. "We couldn't think of anything else to do but print up records ourselves, and that's how Blackheart Records started," Laguna said. The Joan Jett documentary 'Bad Reputation' will be released in theaters and on demand on September 28. Back in the States, 23 labels rejected the album, so Laguna and Joan formed independent label Blackheart Records and released it themselves. ![]() But she became a cause."Īfter a frightening hospitalization for a heart infection, Joan went to Europe and recorded and released a self-titled debut album. Magnolia plans a 2018 theatrical release for the film, which premiered. I love Joanie, but never wanted to be her manager. Magnolia Pictures has acquired North American rights to director Kevin Kerslake’s Joan Jett documentary, Bad Reputation. She was fantastic, but no label would take her on. This led to her first meeting and resulting lifelong creative partnership with producer and manager Kenny Laguna. Laguna told the Tahoe Daily Tribune in 2007, "I worked with her on a film based on The Runaways' career, called We're All Crazee Now, and had a vision of what could be. Joan Jett is an American singer, guitarist, record producer and actress. Jett continued her pattern of hard living while recording music for a movie for which the Runaways were contracted to record a soundtrack. Fowley introduced them to other musicians, seemingly with the intention of putting together a band of teenage girls, although he claimed in Edgeplay: A Film About the Runaways: "I didn't put the Runaways together, I had an idea, they had ideas, we all met, there was combustion, and out of five different versions of that group came the five girls who were the ones that people liked." She met drummer Sandy West at Rodney Bingenheimer's via producer Kim Fowley. I realised that if I wanted to do that, there were probably other girls like me who probably wanted to do it too."

Raising a toast to Joan Jett's documentary 'Bad Reputation' that releases on September 28, let's take a look at Joan Jett, the style inspo - the woman who inspired generations of female punk rockers, who wore glitter like a boss and was the face of the famous 'Black Shag'. Her family soon moved to West Covina, California, and, as recounted to Rolling Stone, she started going to Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco, the "all-ages glam-rock club" on Sunset Boulevard where the crowd was "the equivalent of social-media stars." She changed her last name to Jett and modeled her now-famous look of black leather, black eyeliner, and a black shag haircut after American rocker Suzi Quatro, who inspired her musically as well as aesthetically.
