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."

She is 12-you must not have kids.

Poor Mecca.

For not caring what I say, I seemed to have kicked your peehole full of sand, pretty easily. Must have touched a nerve. You're right about one thing....we don't have much in common. I am a tax paying contributor to society and am a good family man and father. You're great at uh...Halo?

Any reasonable parent would never, ever allow that to happen to their child. The mother should be stripped of her parental right until she can prove a safe guardian.

Mcan....I don't think you're a perv....but if you don't believe having a picture of a naked 10 year old in your possession, even if you consider it "art"...you're not in tune with the real world.

There is no reason that a quality director/producer couldn't portrait the horrible treatment of the girl, without Faux-raping her.

I agree completly. Pretty sick stuff. What is next, are they going to defend forced sodomy on a toddler.

I personally, at this point in my life, would find it more awkward to see my fully developed 20 year old daughter naked on TV than a 12 year old daughter.

So are you going to go into the "I'm better than you" spiel now.......Although the condescending attitude you apply when speaking does amuse me just because well it's a message board.

So, for you, the issue is that you aren't attracted to young girls?

Well, I'm definitely not attracted to young girls, I can tell you that.

For someone who has alot of opinions and someone who likes to talk to others who don't agree with them like they're tongue chewers, its funny how you can't be disagreed with.

Its not really a proper tizzyfit unless you stamp your feet though...thats all that was missing from your earlier post.

I may be an intollerable, condecending, unfunny prick....but I'm not on a message board supporting a naked 12 year old girl being fake raped as a reasonable Idea....for a movie maker or her dumbass parental unit. you are.

I don't personally care if people disagree with me......however acting like your higher on the food chain than me by "cutting me down" is a good way to annoy me.

I explained my position on this movie, it doesn't bother me because simply it's just a damn movie.

Blanket comment: "Worry about your own kids, and let her mom deal with raising her. If no laws are being broken (and it wouldn't have been filmed if any were), it's none of your business. Do what you think is right, and give others the freedom to do the same."

I find the concept of the film disturbing, but sometimes these things need to be done to open people's eyes to issues in the real world. Movies, like books, aren't always just about entertainment.

It seems like just last week, or earlier this week, I made several posts offering you what I thought was good, honest advice and help...you basically said "pffffffft".

As for annoying you, during some of you 15k posts in the last year, I think you might have picked up on the Chris Angelesque Illusion that I'd be the one to give a crap if I "annoy" you.

That shadow following you around, is Karma Earl.

I think the reason you are getting slammed on for supporting such a sick idea is the fact that some of us on here are parents.

It is different when you have kids-their life is your life-they are everything to you. I don't need to put what would happen if someone tried to tape my daughter naked or put her in a simulated rape scene. I reacted so negatively because of my love for my kids and all kids. It has nothing to do with religion or being a prude-it is because it is morally wrong.

This is a topic that could open a lot of eyes to the problem, but to go over the top to create publicity, is where the directer is crossing the line.
