American coming-of-age drama film written, directed, and produced by Deborah Kampmeier. The film stars Dakota Fanning, Piper Laurie, David Morse, Robin Wright Penn, and Isabelle Fuhrman in her film debut. Filmed near Wilmington, North Carolina and set in 1956 Alabama, the film follows a troubled girl who finds solace from an abusive life through the music of Elvis Presley.Hounddog premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 22, 2007, where it was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize, and was given a limited theatrical release on September 19, 2008. Although Fanning was praised for her performance, the film was panned by critics due to a controversial rape scene that was filmed when Fanning was only twelve years old. It was also a commercial failure, grossing $131,961, against an estimated $4 million production budget.
