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."

It's not f'n child rape you incompetent jackhole. It's a movie it's called simulation it is NOT REAL. Like I said I personally could give a rats ass if you wanna see it or not, fine you hate it. Doesn't mean the movie shouldn't be made, it's called the right to decide for yourself.

You probably don't talk to your child about drugs or smoking.

I had two meth houses down the street and a child molester that got hauled off to jail on TV. My kids walk by those houses from their bus stop. I have a very open and honest relationship with them-believe me, they hear about how the world really is.

Thats Hollywood for ya. Can't believe any parent would allow their child to be in this. Anything for money and fame right?

IMO, A child doesn't need exposed to it at all.

Perhaps you should inform your children yourself, rather than depending on Hollywood.

From personal experience, I know that there are, quite simply, some evil motherfuckers in this world. I've struggled with teaching my children that painful truth. But, how ever I do it, it will be from ME, THEIR FATHER, that tells them, not a moving picture on a screen.

That is one of the tenets that parents uphold, IMO. And that is why I repulsed that a PARENT would allow their CHILD (not adult) to do this.

Resorting to name calling huh-nice. Did I ever once say he could not make the film?? But if it crosses the line, he should go to jail.

And yes I will not be seeing it-don't care for movies when kids or animals get hurt.

He's not breaking any laws...........so the jail comment is laughable.

Nobody is talking about the right to make a movie, just whether the content is appropiate or not.
