Dakota, 12, to star in 'disturbing paedophile film'

[chiefqc]

I do beleive it's more for the pleasure of the director than the viewing public. Maybe he has some hidden desire to watch little girl be abused and naked.

[Borges]

It's a woman.

The kid or the animal?

A pic like that makes it that much tougher to explain(argue) the point to your little girl why she can't have that outfit.

[Houmatt]

Yes, I read that. I was referring to her as a person, though, not as a filmmaker.

Remember Victor Salva? He was convicted years ago of having a boy he was directing in one of his films perform oral sex on him in front of a video camera.

Since his release from prison, Salva has written and directed three films (Powder and the Jeepers Creepers films--produced by Francis Ford Coppola).

And of course, everyone knows what Roman Polanski did.

So I have to wonder what kind of sick pervert Kampmeier is.

"Jodie Foster had a similar role in "Taxi Driver" to the one Fanning is about to play."

Yep, you're right on the money....

Dakota Fanning born Feb. 23, 1994 = 12 years old in 2006

Jodie Foster born Nov. 19, 1962 = 12 years old (when "Taxi Driver" was filmed, Summer 1975).

Foster was a much more mature 12 year old, though.

Why are you discussing this with people angry about a movie that hasn't even been filmed yet?

Actually, according to reports on the film I read at imdb.com, prinicpal photography is supposed to wrap today, with the relevant scenes already been shot.

I liked Jodie Foster in Contact. I don't believe I've seen Brooke Shields in anything lately. I think she had a TV show, but I can't recall.

I have several friends who are parents of "working kids." The kids seem to be growing up fine.

[jdm]

"Where are this child's parents?"

At the bank.

Here's the previous work-product of the director of "Hounddog":

Looks like this director has a thing about under-age-of-consent sex.

Hmmm...Robin Wright Penn (wife of Sean) is in both films.

That's why parents have to put their foot down early. Otherwise, it's katie bar the door

[jrg]

In War Of The Worlds she was at her insufferable best.

I haven't see the newer "War of the Worlds" because it's got that Tom Cruise guy in it.

[FreedomCalls]

And they wonder why this is true:

As Layoffs Sweep Movie Studios, Hollywood Fears for Its Future

[mysterio]

Foster was a much more mature 12 year old, though.

Well, John Hinkley certainly thought so.

[Houmatt]

You mean like Hollywood or Blockbuster? They would not carry the film due to its subject matter. You should try independent stores.

[Always Right]

"The two taboos in Hollywood are child abuse and the killing of animals."

Child abuse is not a taboo. Sexually exploiting 12 year olds is.

[Borges]

I have no interest in seeing to tell you the truth.

I found it and watched some of it because of things I had heard about the film and audience reaction. I may indeed watch the rest of it one day, complete with the coprophagia scene, it's just that I am no hurry to at the moment.

Hollyweird has done this before---

Scorsese's Taxi Driver - Jodie Foster
Brooke Shields in Louis Malle’s PRETTY BABY.
Jenna Malone plays a victim of child sexual abuse in the disturbing Ba**ard out of Carolina
Then there was the awful thing that Jeremy Irons did in the remake of Lolita---twisted interpretation of the original novel. Directed by Adrian Lyne
