Dakota Fanning Shocks Public The New York Daily News reports, "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. " Fanning's mother, her agent, and others from her camp have praised the movie role and vowed that it would launch Fanning into Oscar contention. However "Hounddog" seems to be dark and disturbing enough that people are pulling out of the deal despite Fanning's track record for bringing in box office successes. "The two taboos in Hollywood are child abuse and the killing of animals," a source has said. "In this movie, both things happen." Fanning's carefully choreographed rape scene has already been filmed, but the production that had been halted for a short while due to lack of funds over the controversial subject of child abuse, has successfully started again. "The subject matter is very tough," Lawrence Robins has said, "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." "It's not just the rape scene - the whole story is challenging Dakota as an actress," Fanning's longtime agent, Cindy Osbrink was quoted as saying "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." Blogger News Network is advertiser-supported, and your visits to our advertisers help BNN to meet its expenses.
