if you need definitive proof, here's their tweet, copied verbatim: Marvel's "The Runaways" (aka "Small Faces"), is scheduled to begin filming in March in L.A.
No telling what this "Small Faces" business is all about. There's a chance that it's just the flick's code name; big movies often use alternate titles when they want to keep curious folks away. Then again, as there was just a film called The Runaways released (the Joan Jett biopic starring Kristen Stewart), perhaps they're really going with it as a new title? Time will tell.
Via Marvel.com, here's all you need to know about The Runaways: The teens who became the Runaways found that some family secrets are bigger than others when they witnessed their parents, part of a cabal known as the Pride, murdering a young girl during a secret sacrificial ritual. Running away from their homes, the group banded together and began a journey of discovery, both of their parents' origins and of their own inherited powers. Arsenic found she could control her time-traveling parents' dinosaur, which she named Old Lace; Sister Grimm took her mother's magical Staff of One, with which she could cast any spell, but only once; the mutant Bruiser found that with puberty came super strength; Lucy in the Sky learned that she was an alien with energy powers; Talkback took several of his mad scientist parents' weapons; however, Alex Wilder, possessing only his own natural genius, retained use of his real name.
Aliens, time-traveling dinosaurs, human sacrifices... Count me in!
No cast has been announced as of yet.
