Variety reports that Robert Duvall, Mickey Rourke, and Forest Whitaker are in negotiations to co-star. The plot follows a teen (Donowho) “who has to go on the run with his girlfriend (Fanning) after stealing diamonds that belong to a local gangster.” Rourke is being courted for the role of the gangster while Whitaker is in talks to play a gangster who’s after Rourke’s character. There’s no word yet on who Duvall would play. Production is scheduled to begin on March 21st in Atlanta.

These movies look like some very nice choices for Dakota.
I though hope she keeps true integrity on film, and doesn’t sell out to the Hollywood sex scene, like so many actors seem to have the need to do.
Not that there is anything wrong with that, even porn is fine if it’s your bag. But it would be great to see more of a mix, more that stay clear of that stuff. It would be great to see her as a true darling of the screen.
