Milk Carton Update: Dakota Fanning

Remember when every movie starring a child had Dakota Fanning? Nowadays, she seemed to have disappeared into voice actor territory, I'm going to keep up a continual update of what she is doing until she's old enough not to be put on milk cartons as missing.

The only film she had out this year was Hounddog, which was only released at two different festivals. Smoking Gun, released an excerpt of the script which I am posting below.

The movie featuring Fanning's character being raped was very controversial, and was a move hinted to try and get Fanning an Oscar. A move likely not to succeed. Winning an Oscar is about one thing, knowing who chooses the Oscars, which is a group of older rich people who like movies about them or which they can relate to, such as period pieces about old, rich, and ugly farts. Sometimes they let things slip through if they are really good, or if a lot people have been getting flack for never receiving an Oscar, but generally these are the things that are going to win.
