12 year old Dakota Fanning stars in Hounddog, “a dark story of abuse, violence and Elvis Presley adulation in the rural South”. The movie calls for Dakota Fanning to be raped and appear naked or only wearing underpants in a couple of other scenes. Dakota has already filmed the rape scene and it’s said to be tasteful. If you combine rape and Dakota Fanning’s screaming, you can imagine how annoying/uncomfortable this movie might be.
“The two taboos in Hollywood are child abuse and the killing of animals,” a source close to the situation told me. “In this movie, both things happen.”
The film has said to have scared off investors because of it’s material, but Fanning’s mother and agent believe that this will garner her an Oscar Nomination. After an emergency search, they found the investors and plan to wrap up tomorrow. If I have to watch Dakota Fanning act like a precocious girl again and hear that screaming I swear I’m gonna snap. Other than that, this sounds like a pretty solid movie. I can’t really make fun of child rape so, go Dakota!?
Are they serious? A tasteful rape scene? Oh, wait – a tasteful CHILD rape scene? Who in the hell considers this entertainment, anyway? What kind of parent allows their “child star” to be put in these roles? Parents are supposed to protect their children!
Think of the children! Oh won’t somebody please think of the children!!!
Dakota Fanning deserves a lot of credit that you people are to “wrapped up in the rape scenes” to see. She is taking on a role that most children would be to afraid to do, and that most people would not want to see. It is hard to see a child get raped, weather it be real or in a movie, but unfortunatly in this world child rape happens every day, and all this movie is doing is making people more aware, and able to feel a small portion of what some families of child rape and murder feel every… Read more »
I think that what Dakota is doing is huge. It’s a huge desicion for a small child to make. Children dont understand the idea of rape, until they are older. This world is full of perverts who commit such an act all the time. I think that if she is comfortable with the scene and the movie, then its her choice, shes young, but shes human. I agree GO DAKOTA!!!
“Tasteful rape scene” I agree sounds rediculous as there is nothing tasteful about rape whether it be real or acting. I gather what was meant here is that the rape scene is not too graphic? Well, I choose to give the writer the benefit of the doubt ..
I have mixed feelings about Dakota in this role because of her age, but I adore her and fully intend to see the film.
Child molesters are going to LOVE this movie. Can you imagine your daughters image being masturbated to over and over again during the rape scene? This will be forever immortalized. Now Dakota has become jacking material to deviants. Honest to God, Joy Fanning and Cindy Osbrink have lost their minds? This makes me sick. Answer me people, who in their right mind want’s to see a child raped even in simulation? Especially Dakota Fanning depicting it? A few people say good for her. But tell me, isn’t it going to be a little emotionally painful watching her in that scene?… Read more »
I think Dakota is brave for doing this scene. braver than me I’ll admit She is just a beatufil child and I can’t even image why some would want to hurt her.
I saw her in the Cat in the Hat and she was so cute. The cat in the Hat and Dreaner are the only two movies I have that consider her in it.
Well Dakota just keep up the good work and just keep on acting which I know you will do. Good Luck.
someone better not tell me how to find the perv that talked this child into doing this crap.
exactly how much money do her parents need to have???
Dakota is my fav actor. She’s cute. But who wants to see a 12 year old nude.
you DON’T see her nude..
IT’S WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Am I to understand that Dakota Fanning lost her virginity during the filming of a rape scene? I don’t believe such things can be “faked”, so the idea is even more disturbing.
And what’s this about an animal being killed on screen? Isn’t there anyone to say “no” to such things?
Am I getting my information wrong, or is this going to be one truly sickening movie?
why? why would anyone even make a movie of this? I can see writing a book because they don’t have real life characters. But Dakota Fanning is such an incredible actor and whenever or where ever her name is going to be mentioned, this movie is going to come up. Its like Johnny Depp and POTC. You’ll always look at Depp as being a pirate. Now your going to think of child porno whenever Dakota Fanning is mentioned. And as for Dakota, she’s going to have to live with this memory of the movie for the rest of her life.… Read more »
Good grief people, it’s called acting for a reason!!!! And so what if a 12 year old is naked? Get over it already! It’s not supposed to turn you on, it’s just a body for pete’s sake! Good for Dakota to do something different than every other prissy little girl who’s being protected from real life by playing dress up and pretending they matter to the world when all they do is play-act in front of a camera. Nothing is gained without risk. Risk expanding your mind and throw out your pre-conceived notions about how a 12 year old is… Read more »

The point is that a 12 year old cannot make a decision to do this on their own. Her mother and agent both watched on as a 12 year old was told to get naked and simulate a violent sexual act in front of a room full of people while cameras were rolling. It’s bad enough when you’re a child actor and your first kiss is on screen for everyone to see, (and not something that happened naturally for you to remember the rest of your life) but to have to depict something so sexual and viltent is just child… Read more »
I’ve already raped Dakota and it was nothing special.
What about Jodie Foster in “Taxi Driver” or when she “appears” nude in “Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane”…Brooke Shields in “Pretty Baby” “Blue Lagoon” “Endless Love” all were controversial at the time. Yet these two actresses are big time stars and have managed to keep the heads together and their feet on the ground. Yes, Dakota is a child, but in the world we all live in today, I’m pretty sure she knows what the movie is about and understands that this is a job and that she is “acting”, she is a professional. Movies are quite clever… Read more »
This is ridiculous in my opinion; I disagree very much with some comments made. I believe that most 12, 13 year old children understand the concept of rape, and it is crazy to think that they are too young to understand. One of my best friends who was a fairly normal kid had lost her virginity at age 13. It is not like it is a distant world to kids these age. Dakota is not being brave, she justs wants an Oscar for being raped on screen. And of course she isnt ACTUALLY losing her virginity, thats just absurd. I… Read more »
Killing animals?! no way man I am NOT watching that movie. However the rape scene sounds even worse …
WHO THE BLEEP CARES!!!!!
MohammaD
I for one would find this a very disturbing scene to watch
but i dont believe that Dakota,s mother or agent would
allow anything imoral to take place i would hate to even think of such a thing but it,s just a movie any of Dakota,s
movies are great but i think id close my eyes during that scene ive grown to fond of Dakota to be able to watch such a horrible thing id hate the scene but it,s only a movie thank God
I am a big Dakota Fanning fan and am not thrilled about a rape scene with Dakota or about animals being hurt or killed just for the reason that i try to see all Dakota,s movies ill see it but i swear ill more than likely be closing my eyes or turning my head during that scene . Ive grown quite fond of Dakota over the years and know truthfully even though its really a movie and just acting i am going to hate to see her going threw such a horrible ordeal if if it is just acting just… Read more »
