This is very...interesting. I am not sure what to think abou tit but strangely I want to watch it when it comes out.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>15:57pm 20th July 2006Child actress Dakota Fanning will appear in a controversial new movie featuring paedophile scenes.War of the Worlds star Dakota, 12, has signed up to appear in Hounddog.The screenplay calls for Fanning's character to be raped in one explicit scene and to appear naked or clad only in "underpants" in several other horrifying moments.A source close to the film said: "The two taboos in Hollywood are child abuse and the killing of animals."In this movie, both things happen." Fanning's mother, Joy, and her Hollywood agent, Cindy Osbrink, see the movie, written and directed by Deborah Kampmeier, as a possible Oscar vehicle for the pint-size star.But despite Fanning's status as a bankable actress - whose movies, including last year's War of the Worlds have earned more than half a billion dollars since 2001 - the alarming material seems to have scared off potential investors, according to the New York Daily News.The film charts the life of a girl who is abused and finds solace in the music of Elvis Presley.Fanning's carefully choreographed rape scene has already been filmed. But then the production - which also stars Robin Wright Penn, David Morse and Piper Laurie - was stopped because of a lack of money.But emergency investors were found and the movie is set to be finished by the end of the week."It's not just the rape scene - the whole story is challenging Dakota as an actress," Fanning's agent, Osbrink, said. "And I've never been so proud of her in my life. In every scene she gets better and better."</div>Now, this is stupid because it's just totally innapropriate and a 12 year old girl shouldn't even be watching a movie like that, much less acting out getting raped. But on the other hand....if this movie is done right it could be pretty good with a strong message. Judging from that other thread it may make some of you get emotional. :shifty2:
Dakota appears to not be wastin any time to get started on the nude scenes lol. If only she was 4 years older :g: :shifty2:
Well unfortunatly some sick SOB's who deserve to get their balls cut off gang-raped a 9 year old recently so it does happen....And I was just thinking, she going to be the next Angelina "naked in every movie" Jolie or Britney Spears........I just feel so dirty even thinking about watching this movie.
12 years old?? I thought she was like 8 ....but still..she's an amazing actress and...wow..a rape scene. This will be interesting to watch and see how the media reacts and stuff

This bi*ch is mad ugly, and she's 12. it's wrong, but w/e.I bet CB4 is gonna watch it though...edit: for the record, im j/k about cb4...
This will surely be a controversial movie, but I honestly think this will just help her career out even more. Yeah, it's disgusting and what not, but it's REALITY. sh*t like this happens all the time... and if this movie can help get people thinking about it and trying to put forth more of an effort to stop stuff like that happening, then I'm all for it.
I agree, rapes occur all the time, so hopefully it won't make viewers cry and moan, but realize that this could happen.

This is nasty. She is 12 years old and she is going to appear nude. Thats horrible.Cute-as-a-button child star Dakota Fanning, who turned 12 in February, is venturing into sexually disturbing territory in a movie being filmed in North Carolina.The screenplay for "Hounddog" - a dark story of abuse, violence and Elvis Presley adulation in the rural South, written and directed by Deborah Kampmeier - calls for Fanning's character to be raped in one explicit scene and to appear naked or clad only in "underpants" in several other horrifying moments."The subject matter is very tough," Robins told me, "but I was attracted to it because in the end it's a story about human understanding, about a little girl who's dealt a very bad deck of cards, but finds solace in the music of Elvis and survives."The script requires the preteen actress to confront tougher challenges than Brooke Shields and Jodie Foster did when, at Fanning's age, they played child prostitutes."It's not just the rape scene - the whole story is challenging Dakota as an actress," Fanning's longtime agent, Osbrink, told me. "And I've never been so proud of her in my life. I've seen the dailies, and in every scene she gets better and better."http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/sto...3p-367837c.html
