Dakota Fanning Naked And Raped For Oscar Gold

Dakota Fanning Naked And Raped For Oscar Gold If you think Dakota Fanning looks dead behind the eyes now, just wait until the 12-year-old star is naked and raped in her next movie.

Did that make anyone else throw up a little in their mouth? I had to hold down a full-on vomit while I typed it.

But it's true. In an article last week the New York Daily News reported on a movie called Hounddog, from sicko writer/director Deborah Kampmeir. The film is a drama set in the American South, and tells the story of a troubled girl and her love of Elvis Presley. Dakota Fanning plays the troubled little girl, and apparently she's troubled because she gets brutally raped on screen. The Daily News describes it this way: The script "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."

What makes the whole idea even more disgusting is that the Daily News says she may be doing it because her mommy and her agent think it can win her an Oscar. Apparently mommy hasn't seen The Woodsman. What kind of mother would put her 12-year-old daughter through something like this for a stupid statue and a few million bucks? Simulated or not, the thought of putting your little girl in that situation is abhorrent. Is it even legal for a 12-year-old girl to be naked on screen? Shouldn't anyone who goes to see the movie be arrested on the grounds that they're watching child pornography?

Don't think that this is just something in the script that might be taken out by cooler heads before filming, Dakota's carefully choreographed, sick sex sessions have already been shot. It was right about then that the movie ran out of funds. Surprise surprise, they're having a lot of trouble finding backers. Right now production is on hiatus while they look for cash. If we're lucky, they'll never find it.

They don't however seem to be having trouble finding bankable stars. Robin Wright Penn co-stars in the movie and excuses it by saying "I was attracted to it because in the end it's a story about human understanding." Maybe so, but before you get to the human understanding an innocent little girl is stripped naked and raped on screen. Sometimes the ends don’t justify the means.

  • i think it was sick and why would a mother do that for a fucking award



    sam:)
  • When I first heard it was a "rape scene" I was slightly concerned. Now I'm reading that she'll be topless, and I'm disgusted. At age 12, I don't care if you are an aspiring Playboy model, it is a violation, akin to rape, to encourage a child so young to take her clothes off for the camera. I've seen "Bastard Out of Carolina" and wasn't as sickened as I am at the thought of a 12 year old not only acting as though she's being raped, but being directed as to how to perform during the scene by adults, and then being required to expose herself. That's not art, it's child abuse.
  • i think the sicko here are all u people i mean wht's wrong with her playing that role u havee to be more opened mind God! is a fuckin movie!! and shes more than a good actress and i mean shes a kid and all but like she's very mature so i think u have to wait and see if the movie is tht "disgusting" then judge ..bye
  • oh, come on ive seen heaps of independant films with naked kids in them and never batted and eyelid but as soon as its a hollywood production everyone gets all hffy about it. For instance ratcatcher has loads of naked kids in it but it doent make it chils porn. sure, its a sick idea of a child being raped but is just a movie.
  • Tanya: That's pretty sick. We're talking about a thirteen year old girl here. We're also talking about the threat her fate poses to all those other kids. There's nothing at all funny about this.
  • mmm. can't wait to see this legal movie. i want to see her naked. she gets me so aroused, i'd like her on my lap, he he he, ymmy
  • Dear Readers: I apologize for not having come back sooner to explain my "H-Day" posting. Hounddog Day was July 20th. On that day last year, one day before it's official wrap, the movie "Hounddog" was first exposed as to it's content and something of the unsavory means that went into it's making. This led to a chain of events and further revelations. The result was not only infamy for the filmmakers but, unfortunately, the same for the child actress who was principally exploited in the film itself: Dakota Fanning. This led, in turn, to a greater public understanding of how not only child actors are being taken indecent advantage of in the popular culture, but how they're being used as tools to influence and corrupt their fellow kids in the process. This was a story that needed to be told. It's just terribly unfortunate that it also involved the downfall of one of the most beloved little girls who ever lived.
  • this is SO horribly wrong! i haven't had time to read all the posts but, she's a TWELVE year old girl, how do YOU know that she really DOES/HAS gotten herself into, to gina who said

    I think that Dakota Fanning has done a wonderful job so far as an actress, her parents and agent Cindy Osbrink have done a great job at helping Dakota choose roles that are right for the time. This film Hounddog, may be a risk but it is an experience that she and those around her are sure to learn from. In one article Dakota's agent Cindy says not just the rape scene - the whole story is challenging Dakota as an actress." Osbrink goes on to say"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." This film could put Dakota in the OSCAR limelight, and in my opinion there isn't another child star that deserves it most. Her roles in I am Sam and War of the Worlds, were outstanding. She may be 12 years old but she has a much wiser understanding of human nature then performers twice her age. I wish her the best of luck with this film, and hope for the OSCAR gold... Rape and Abuse are horrifying things to think about, but they are something that happens in the real world, audiences may not be ready for it... but if Dakota were guest starring on Law and Order: SVU would things be percieved differently? The world needs to open their eyes and realize that a MOVIE is different from REALITY."

    and all other supporters, you sicken me! I may only be 15, but, what the fuck does having some "pretend" to rape you, and understanding human nature have to do with each other? and how do you people KNOW for a fact this won't give her some sort of childhood trama? there are LOTS of other things i could say and begin whole new topics on but, when a poor child gets abducted and raped, they expect her to die and don't make any fuss or bat an eyelash, but when a rich blue eyed, blond haired girl gets abducted, they call the army, and make a huge fuss on the news, fact is, many children, and women are getting raped, killed, abducted, or a combo of the three, no one knows because only the pretty are on the news, I hate mass media, it is corrupt, wrong and controled by the govermen.t so we only see what they want us to. check this out for some thoughts on the media, and on war http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmFbT-mehnQ

  • Dear Sah4ra and Scion: Anyone who considers child porn to be a form of "art" or considers decency with children to be the province of religious fanatics needs no comment from me. Your own words condemn you.
  • Well, I see the same old elitist garbage here that I've become so used to over the past eleven months... with two exceptions.

    Dear Motherfilmlover: You make a sound point. Morally AND legally, what happened in "Hounddog"- even in the final edited version- was felonious conduct with children. However, when we ask ourselves why this was never acted on, we come back to a simple, often-ignored but terrifying truth: The law is only as good as the willingness of legal authority to uphold it. Without this, all the laws ever written (including the myriads of child protective laws, state and federal) are just ink stains on paper. When the political and financial concerns outweigh a prosecutor's sense of duty (if he has one to begin with!), then this is what can be expected. And this is what's happened so far.

    Dear Garry: I only wish I could say I'm surprised to hear this. Please let me know any details about this that may come up. This is something that would come under federal purview if it can be proven. I'll try to be more diligent about visiting this site more regularly. Best wishes.
  • Dear Teedoff:

    Not real? Consider. Real sets. Real cameras. Real enactments. Real actors. REAL CHILDREN. What do you think those kids had to do in the process of filming those obscenities? What perverted concepts were they exposed to (from real, deviant adults) in the process? And how do you think that works on the minds of impressionable children? What will their adult personalities become as a result?

    It ws real enough for them! It was also real enough for those other child actors you mentioned; all of whom suffered emotional problems as a result. And what they went through was only a foretaste. Those films were steppingstones on the path that has led us to "Hounddog" and the crossing of the barrier between legitimate filmation and rank child pornography.

    These films (and others I could mention) are not excuses by any means. They are a litany of shame. No decent person could regard them in any other manner.
  • First off, Dakota is not doing this for art, if you stupid redknecks would have known about this from the start then you would know that Dakota did a personal interview in which she said that she wanted to do this part to show people the horror of child abuse. Second, maybe some of you religious fanatics should realise that these things really happen and that portraying them as something horrible is not a bad thing. What it does is make people more aware of bad things instead of burying there heads in the sand like you all are. You should try to stop the real acts of child abuse instead of stoping people that portray it to the public as something that is wrong!!!!
  • .....If you haven't heard, there's a rap song out now that's basically egging somebody on to go out and try to rape Dakota. It's scary. If her daddy ever hears it, it's gotta frighten him to death...I hope so anyway....
  • First off. To anyone who thinks it's okay to put a child in this situation: Recently I have taken a class given by police officers (mainly women) and experts on self defense and rape and violence. In this class in the many states if a child is younger than 12 and the adult is older than 17 it is automatically Rape in the first. Acting this out on film, can indeed stimulate the desire of the adult and the fear of the child in this circumstance. We raise children until they can start making their own decisions, then we guide them until they are ready to make these decisions on their own. Is a 12 or 13 year old child ready to make a sexual decision whether in real life or for the sake of "art"? I think not.
  • Hey, does any one want to go burn copies of "Catcher in the Rye"?
    The very idea of this subject being pornagraphic in any nature falls along the same realm as the infamous photos of certain wars, say Vietnam and WWII, being pornography. One, pornography is an art form. Two, this is the common definition of art: art 1 (ärt)
    n.
    1. Human effort to imitate, supplement, alter, or counteract the work of nature.
    2.
    a. The conscious production or arrangement of sounds, colors, forms, movements, or other elements in a manner that affects the sense of beauty, specifically the production of the beautiful in a graphic or plastic medium.
    b. The study of these activities.
    c. The product of these activities; human works of beauty considered as a group.
    3. High quality of conception or execution, as found in works of beauty; aesthetic value.
    4. A field or category of art, such as music, ballet, or literature.
    5. A nonscientific branch of learning; one of the liberal arts.
    6.
    a. A system of principles and methods employed in the performance of a set of activities: the art of building.
    b. A trade or craft that applies such a system of principles and methods: the art of the lexicographer.
    7.
    a. Skill that is attained by study, practice, or observation: the art of the baker; the blacksmith's art.
    b. Skill arising from the exercise of intuitive faculties: "Self-criticism is an art not many are qualified to practice" Joyce Carol Oates.
    8.
    a. arts Artful devices, stratagems, and tricks.
    b. Artful contrivance; cunning.
    9. Printing Illustrative material.

    Three, this does include pornography. Finally, the topic is only pornography if you personalle have a "jones" for it sexually.

    This is art, not pornography. It serves a purpose. I personally want to see some of the people blogging here get up off thier asses and physically do something about this. All anyone here, including myself, is doing is publicizing for the filmmakers. Which will in end, get more people to see the film and grant more money to the producers.

    As a closing note: the film is art, since a great factor of art is the draw and captivation it captures from the public. Any problem's with this posting, look me up on myspace.
  • All this whining about Dakota getting raped IN A MOVIE ! Is pure bullS**T ,every one acts like this is some once in a life time ,horrible event .
    She has her dam clothes on ,ITS NOT REALY HAPENING !! Its A MOVIE !! ,ITS HAPPENED BEFORE<
    In ( Pretty Baby) with Brook Sheilds ,, In (Eye For An Eye) with the little girl that actor Keefer Sotherland RAPES and kills, and several other films
    that I cant even remember the names too.
    And though not raped There is plenty of child nudity and (ACTED)sexual activity in both of the Blue Lagoon movies ,SO DEAL WITH IT !!
    Dakota is an awsome actor and most likely has better scence ,and judgment than all of you, and and will come out of this fine and with A LOT of money!!
    and you all are just pissed about it .
    So get over it.!!! The real reason every one is pissed is becase she was soooo sweet and inocent and now shes growing up and taking on new roles, and in your little twisted minds you want her to stay little and sweet and cuddle up and watch her act so sweet in her little family films, and forget about all the poor judgements you have made and your miserble lives you live in, {and now You CaNT}BOO HOO ,GET A LIFE.
    its not some actor in a movie that causes child molestation ,its all the whining , sniviling P*SIES that let the bastards walk out of prison because of (THERE HUMAN RITES)
  • Dear John: Was that a feature film or some illegal porn production? If the former, what was it's title, who made it, who was in the cast and when was it made?

    Dear Arnst: You miss the entire point. Everyone knows that child molestation happens and that it's the most hideous crime of all. It's ALSO known that having children directly enacting such things in films does nothing to help prevent them. Just the opposite, in fact. It's also devastating to the mental health of a growing child. Even their being involved in the "mere" concept often results in traumas that will color their entire lives. It may not be reality to you, watching the edited film, but it's real enough to the children on the set. It's real enough to the children who will see the film, in whatever form, and see a favorite child actor being brutalized. And it's certainly real enough to inspire the true-to-life child predators to renewed efforts. That's only part of why this issue is so important.

    Dear Linda: Dakota's just made another film. It's called "Winged Creatures". It's another cheap, base scale pay, R-rated indie flick due out at the Cannes Film Festival (naturally!) on May 19th. In it, she plays a survivor of a senseless mass murder. Expect graphic violence, morbidity and foul language. Don't be surprised if there's sexual conduct as well, although this is not certain. This is what she's sunk to, thanks to heartless adults who've managed to trash her career, her life, her heart and her legacy. What a terrible fall from where she was less than a year ago!

  • John - Hopefully she won't be in any other movies. Personally, I am sick of her face.
  • sexual abuse exists. the only fact is that now it´s ACTED in cinema. what? didn't you know that it exists?? don't you get saddened just to think that every day in the whole world children are raped??
    Furthermore, this is just a performance, that's not reality... but a way to aware that it exists (thank's Shaunna)
  • I saw a movie call "have" some thing like the same movie. In this a 8 yrs girl get raped. After this movie the girl did not get any chance in other movies. The girl didn't apper naked but yet just she didn't get any other chance in other movies, I don't know what happened to her. may be the same thing might happen to Dakota.

    they have spotlit the child's further.
  • Bob:

    It's a sad thing that anyone could give anylegitimacy at all to this.Pornography is something that is intended to appeal to the very baser instincts, not the higher and virtuous ones. This is the difference between lust and love, smut and art.

    It is the curse of our times that these two extremes are often equated as one so as to give justification to the perverse. That's why the old term "making love" has degraded from romance to illicit sex. That's how the phrase "art film" came to mean something like "Deep Throat" (or "Hounddog"!) instead of what it used to mean; a major, elaborate and inspiring motion picture like "The Ten Commandments".

    That's how far we've sunk since the late and unlamented Jack Valenti came to Hollywood in the early 60's and legitimized what used to be seen only in back alleys. And now we've come to the open sexual degradation of children on film sets. When they desecrated Dakota, Cody and Isabelle on that set, they did so to all our children by proxy.

    And where next? The only place that feature films now have yet to go is to actual on-camera sexual activity with children. Far fetched? After what I've seen happen over the years (and especially after what I've seen since last summer) I don't dare dismiss anything. Hollywood will follow the money until some outside force stops them.

    You'd best believe I'm appalled!
  • Whats really sad, with all the people who are saying, "the real part is going to be her standing there nude!!!omg!!awww, noo!" why don't you go look up what the definition of child porn is. The sad part of this whole thing is all you people who are complaining, are complaining about how we live in such a sick society you fear someone will actually "get off" on seeing an underdeveloped 12 year old girl naked. And for that reason you are appalled that she will be topless.
  • Dear Guy: I wish a few more filmmakers out there had your insight... and your standards! If they had, all this likely wouldn't even be an issue. However, it's not just the producers and directors. It's the sex-obsessed patrons (and the child-sex-obsessed deviants... like some of the above) who make these things profitable who share the blame. I'll bet that the fate of your two sisters (may God bless them!) had a lot to do with your outlook on things. I just can't put myself in the minds of those who can find such things as this attractive. Perhaps, that's just as well!
  • OK I so agree with you K-night (despite the swearing) I for a moment people could get out of there stupid perverted, porn filled boxes for a min they might be able to get a glimpse of what’s going on here. I’ve made some short films and am set to make another one coming up in the summer. In this one my mane character (16-17) has a flash back of when he was raped as a kid. There are many ways you can imply thing with out showing someone actually getting raped. And that brings me to my next point. Why are there so many of you (any at all) who thinks that this scene is not only ok, but good for Dakota? Maybe because deep down inside there’s a part of you that wants to see that cute little girl get hammered. For that you need counseling. And the truth is Dakota will. This stuff isn’t a joke. I have 2 sisters who were both sexually molested as kids and it still affects them to this day, and ones in college the others going into college. Do you really think this scene is any different? ITS NOT! Its child abuse and it is ILLEGAL!
