I see a number of posters have made the "Hounddog" connection. I have been warning for more than two years that, if the "Dakota Fanning Rape Project" gained any legitimacy, there would be a lot of consequences. The sexualization of children to and past the point of actual pornography in "mainstream" films was one. Opening the door to more like it was another. And, of course, there's the enticement of children to see these films by exploiting a popular child actress… in the process of "adultizing" her for future profits. What we see here is likely another "Dakotization" in progress. Like Little Miss Hounddog three years ago, Abigail Breslin is the top child star and best known for her child-friendly films. But she's now at that "magic age" of 12… and her handlers have ordained that it's time for her to get Down & Dirty. She's now set to follow the path of despoilment that Dakota's exploiters have now virtually mandated for child stars who want adult careers.

"…that Jackson plays the raped woman, Bello plays the young daughter, and Breslin plays the sympathetic, honor-bound cop."

I would totally go and see this movie if this were true. Holy shit. I'm a terrible person.

If you've read the book, YES, the subject matter is as controversial as the title suggests. Think "The Accused"+ "Man On Fire"+"death Wish" & that's pretty much the plot of the novella. In the book, this little girl & her mother, prior to the attack, are chased down by these thugs like animals. Breslin's character, "Bethie" narrowly escapes being raped herself, & listens to her mother being brutally raped. The novel doesn't spare the reader much detail about it, so I'm not too confident that the film will either. I just feel pity for where Miss Breslin will have to "go" mentally to portray these feelings of "terror" realistically. Makes me shudder just thinking about it.

It sounds kind of like their just using the rape for attention in the title and even in the story. I dunno, it seems contrived from the logline, but I'll wait till I know more I guess.

Judging the tone of a movie and whether or not its exploitative before there is even a trailer is pretty lame.
