Dakota Fanning rape film expected in September
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Do you remember that indie drama “Hounddog” that played at Sundance last year? The film in which the character played by little Dakota Fanning is raped?
“Hounddog” now has a distribution deal with Empire Film Group and is expected to arrive in theaters starting in September.
Filmed in North Carolina, “Hounddog” stars Fanning, formerly from Conyers, as an Elvis Presley fan who is sexually assaulted. The assault is implied and not shown in detail. Fanning was 12 during the time the movie was filmed.
In an earlier press release, Empire stated the company expects that the film will receive a PG-13 rating.
The group RAINN (Rape and Incest National Network) has issued a statement in support of the film.
Are you interested in seeing “Hounddog”?
