From the article: "Fuchs tried to have the film halted and has demanded to see the script, even though there is no character based on her," says a lawsuit filed by Jett in Manhattan Supreme Court.

Kind of makes you wonder why Jett thinks it's kosher to tell the Runaways' story without a "character based on" the former Jackie Fox, even granted that the latter left the Runaways after a tour of Japan (where they were actually phenomenally popular, compared to the mostly indifferent reception they got in their native U.S.) and eventually became an attorney.

One of the women who is portrayed is already dead. It’s easier to get people to sign on when they aren’t around.

I guess a Joan Jett and The Blackhearts movie wouldn’t have had the same appeal. But she still thinks it’s all about her.
