"The two taboos in Hollywood are child abuse and the killing of animals," a source tells N.Y. Daily News columnist Lloyd Grove. "In this movie, both things happen." Grove reports the script for Hounddog is described as "a dark story of abuse, violence and Elvis Presley adulation in the rural South." Wow. Fanning is branching out in her choices. I wonder if she was fast-tracked for the film after the producers heard her scream in War of the Worlds?
