2sbn47k.jpg


Empire Film Group, Inc. has acquired all North American distribution rights to the controversial independent film, "Hounddog" starring Dakota Fanning, Robin Wright-Penn, Piper Laurie and David Morse. Empire has initiated a marketing campaign to release the film to more than 500 theaters on July 18.

The character played by 12-year-old Dakota Fanning is sexually assaulted in a scene that enraged conservative media pundits, even though the attack is implied and not actually shown.

"I think we all wish that no children were ever assaulted," said Deborah Kampmeier, writer and director of the film. "But it's not helpful to the victims for our society to ignore the subject and pretend that it's not real. 'Hounddog' takes this dark moment through an emotional recovery brought about through friends, family and music, to a message of hope." Trailer.

Something like Law & Order:... (Below threshold)
jpm100:

Something like Law & Order: SVU would do would be to have the suspect father or whoever open the door and call the victim's name while they fade to black. That would be implying it.

Here, the attack is shown, but without explicit shots of body parts mostly just her face. Its only the nudity that's implied. Doing more would have been undefensively child pornography.
