Dakota Fanning to be raped onscreen
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." |

Art isn't just about entertainment. Last night I watched Triumph of the Will with a group of people. We discussed it afterwards. We liked it, maybe we hated it for liking it, but it created a response within us. |

Film is, and always has been, a vehicle for advancing agendas. Sorry, but if I want to LEARN something, I'll pick up a book. |

I haven't heard of the horse movie. I don't want to see it. I don't care about it one bit. But if I had a guess, I would say it's probably like grizzly man. Now, what is art is a question for ages. What about the filming of a girl's eye being sliced open by a knife? And I'm also on the side that her parents are probably not thinking about Dakota Fanning's development as an child and probably care about money and fame. No way would I ever let my daughter be this close to simulated rape. |

Not only have you not seen the scene in the context of the film, I'd wager a bet that you haven't seen it at all. |

At what point have we crossed a boundary? And I'm not talking about decency, I'm talking about necessity. Why is there a NEED for this stuff? |

I don't need a visual to have empathy or be appalled about a rape victim...especially when I have two girls..ages 13 and 10. I wonder how many in the audience would be pedophiles. |

Further proof that Hollywood will do anything for a buck.
No wonder movies are such garbage.

No... the reason movies are such garbage is because people go in droves to things like Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle and Dude, Where's My Car? instead of watching things that make them use their minds. Hollywood will do anything for a buck, however I don't imagine this movie will make a ton of money. And SINCE H-town will do anything for a buck, they will make the movies the audiences go to in droves. Which is why we get movies like Nightmare on Elm Street 13, Jason X, and Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. When LCD audiences demand better movies, the cinemas will deliver them. |
