Deborah Kampmeier has grabbed a heavyweight cast for her new indie film, particularly considering she doesn’t yet have a title for it.
Dakota Fanning, Robin Wright Penn and David Morse have all agreed to take roles in the movie, which is set in the US South in 1961. Fanning will play a girl who triumphs over abuse through the precocious power of dancing and – really? – singing like Elvis.
Kampmeier is already shooting the movie in North Carolina.
