Dakota Fanning to do Rape Scene in Next movie

uhhhh....wtf is her mother/agent thinking. I do not agree with that at all. She is a 12yr old kid and should not be taking such rolls. Any adult with a brain would not want there child to go thru that even if its only a movie. Wonder how much money she will make for that and how much of that money does her mother get. That would be an interesting question to have answered.
You know, I'm all for artistic freedom.
But isn't there some law against showing nude 12 year olds?
BTW asking "who outside of pedophiles wants to see a 12 year old raped?" is a misleading question.
No one wants to see it, just like no one wants to see some of the really horrible things that happen in some movies, but if they're part of the story you accept it as the reality of the story.

Thats disgusting. They're already planning here VH1, "I Was a Child Star"
but then again, nobody made a beef about Colin Ferral's "The New World" movie where he was making out with an actress who was 14 in real life.

I am sickened by this nonsense.
My point wasn't that making a movie about sexual abuse was a bad idea, but that it was a bad idea for this child's parents to expose her to the emotions of being brutally raped and exposed to the world. The scene could probably be accomplished with the same effect without being brutally graphic and without giving this little girl quite as much emotional baggage to take into adulthood.Kingston said:
12 yo girl nude scenes and rape is not my sorta movie to take my wife to the theater. Having an 8 year old daughter makes me think of killing some bastard that would do such a thing to a small person. I hope Dakota will be ok later in life as well. She is a strong minded person from what I see in the movies.
I first read this post yesterday and didnt completely know how to respond. It turns my stomach but I cant say that there is anything wrong with writing the story. People write about horrible events all the time (war, holocaust etc. ). Molestation is another unfortunate thing that has happened for ages. I realize that these scenes are written not for anyones enjoyment but to illustrate the horror of it.
Should this story be written, I dont think that anyone would advise children to read it nor will anyone advise children to see such a movie (I hope). How, then, can they justify having this young girl, the actress, perform the scene? She probably had to do the scenes again and again while people stood around watching and filming and adjusting the lights.
It sickens me to think of the images that are permanently imprinted on this girls brain. She is just barely forming her ideas of intimacy, her body and sex. How can she differentiate that this movie was about a twisted individual from the idea that all men she meets may have these ideas in their heads? She is a smart and mature little girl but its shortsighted to assume that she can critically evaluate this situation. This thought is hard for adults to wrap their brains around and this girl is barely pubescent.
The scene illustrates a very real and disgusting example of human behavior but why expose it to her before she would come to learn about it otherwise? And whats worse, actually put her, physically, in that situation?? And she got paid for it.
I remember that scene with Jodie Foster from The Accused and I shudder when I think of it.
I am the first person to say that our children should not be raised in a bubble. Completely sheltering children prevents them from being able to function in the real world. In this instance, however, I believe that we need to adamantly protect their innocence.
Anyway, thats my opinion, I could be wrong.

They should charge the director, producers, her parents with child pornography. It is despicable.

Is she actually raped or are they acting?
I'm kind of torn on this...it does not seem to me that she is actually being raped.
I would also hope that her parents and the rest of the crew were acutely monitoring here emotions and reactions so as to help her separate the acting out of the scene from reality.
In seeing interviews with her she does come across as being somewhat more socially and intellectually advanced then a typical 12 year old.
Until I watch the movie, which I would likely never watch, I am not jumping to any conclusions.
