Lita Ford has spoken out against the upcoming Runaways biopic in the past, but says that after meeting the actress playing her in the film, she has softened her stance. Lita met Scout Taylor Compton (Halloween) after the actress came to see her perform live with Queensryche. Lita says, "After meeting Scout this weekend, I feel so much better. She has a heart and soul, unlike some of the people behind the movie. She also hawks a mean loogey and really is a lot like me. We both cried the first time we spoke. Scout rocks." The Runaways, which co-stars Twilight's Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett, is due out in 2010.
