This is disturbing. I hope people boycott this movie because there's no need for crap like this.

Dakota, 12, to star in 'disturbing paedophile film'

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1773

Child 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."

I can't believe this is for real. Those quotes almost seem too gung-ho to be true...haha.

If it is real, that is pretty disturbing. A good filmmaker could create the same sense of dread without actually filming all of those scenes.

And really, what is most disgusting is that filming those scenes would probably do more for the actual pedophiles that want something to get off to, rather than affect people who would be repulsed by it. Not a good idea.

I'm willing to have my child be seen naked by a national audience as long as it makes me money...err...gets her an Oscar.

Exactly. She's being exploited by the people that should be watching out for her, all in the name of a possible Oscar.

Would anyone here want their 12 year old daughter to go through a simulated rape?

this is just wrong something should not be shown to people this is one of them. Pedo will be jacking off to this filth. I hope someone burn the master film and then arrest the parent and agent of dakota for doing this to her.

Yeah, this is what you should spend your time getting upset about.

Halfcan · 07-21-2006, 09:49 PM

This should qualify as child porn and the directer put in jail.

Jim Jones · 07-21-2006, 09:49 PM

When is this movie coming out?! I'll be the first one in line...

to boycott, of course.

..........This thread is amusing me now. Let's have a huge overreaction about a movie.........

go bo · 07-21-2006, 10:39 PM

actually, i can't wait for it to get to hbo...

from what i've read, it sounds like a powerful drama portraying the living hell that sexually abused children suffer...

it's an issue that more people should be aware of...

i'd guess it will be like brokeback mountain, good flick dealing with a difficult subject, and will get the kid an oscar nomination almost for sure...

And the nail is hit squarely upon the head.

Similar subject matter in The Woodsman.

I'm not sure I would recommend the woodsman to anyone. I thought it was good, but deeply disturbing, and without a scene like this. It managed to be gut wrenching at some times without having to be explicit. I think it may best be left that way.

Good performances in there from Kevin Bacon and Mos Def though.

for ten gazillion dollars, i sure would...

(i don't have any daughters but i do have several granddaughters)

VonneMarie · 07-21-2006, 10:42 PM

She dosen't have anything to see any way. We've all seen naked babies, before.

VonneMarie · 07-21-2006, 10:43 PM

They made the same big deal when Brooke Shields starred in Pretty Baby. Blah... blah... blah...

Showing a little girl half naked and then involving her in a love scene with an adult=child porn. The Mom should lose custody of Dakota-IMO
