(KP International) Hounddog sounds like an innocent enough title but apparently the film shows 12-year-old Dakota Fanning in her most disturbing role yet.
The dark film features such themes as violence, abuse and the music of Elvis Presley. Filming brought new challenges for Fanning, who will apparently appear nude for the first time and also had to film a rape scene.
"The two taboos in Hollywood are child abuse and the killing of animals. In this movie, both things happen," said a source to the New York Daily News. "The subject matter is very tough," said Lawrence Robins, an entertainment entrepreneur who had to search for investors once money fell through due to the controversial content. "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."
But controversy often sparks Oscar buzz, which is what Fanning's mother, Joy, and agent, Cindy Osbrink, are supposedly hoping for. "It's not just the rape scene the whole story is challenging Dakota as an actress," Osbrink said. "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."
