I understand that Dakota Fanning is a great actress that is older than her years. BUT, I will not promote a film in which a young actress has to play a victim of rape. Why would her team allow her to take such a role? I don't care how daring it is. That is so traumatic and I would never want my daughter to simulate it no matter the paycheck. That's just my personal take on this. Dakota on the other hand, is very excited. Probably because she thinks she stop getting typecast as a kid. OH WAIT - she IS a kid. And not for nothing, I close my eyes during scenes when adults get raped. There is no freaking way I am going to watch this movie knowing this happens to a baby.

SHE may get raped in her next movie - currently titled "The Untitled Dakota Fanning project" - but Dakota Fanning, 12, thinks it's "wonderful." In an interview with thereeler.com, Fanning said of her movie, which will debut at Sundance, "I don't think that anybody should be talking about it yet because nobody's seen it yet, you know? . . . It's a wonderful film, and I'm really proud to be in it. I can't wait for people to see it." (source)

Oh and PS, she wants to direct.

"I would love to direct someday," Fanning told Time magazine for editions on newsstands Monday. "I've learned a lot from watching directors I've worked with, like Steven Spielberg and Gary Winick, whom I worked with on Charlotte's Web. I would love to have that relationship with another actor."
