"HoundDog" Movie on UK TV NEWS.

A clip of the controversial movie using Elvis songs was on Channel 4 TV NEWS this lunchtime.

Already people are calling for it to be banned because of the subject matter involving a young girl.

No matter what happens now, the publicity will be enormous.

I read some reviews of the film this morning.It has been screened at Sundance.It was said the rape scene is obvioulsy disturbing but after seeing it,some people's fears were laid to rest.The scene is not graphic.I for one look forward to the film.As Maurice stated it will garnish Elvis lots of press coverage.Movie also stars Robin Wright Penn who is a fine actress.You might remember her from Forrest Gump.She played the girl who befriended him.

Yes jak, the media is going to town on the story. Hundreds of reports so far!

The movie could be a box office success at this rate. Leaving comments on various news websites can be a lot of fun :) (y)

Elvis music is in for a boost in sales....especially "Hound Dog"..easy to find too (y)

I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. I think Dakota Fanning is a brilliant actress. It will be good coverage for Elvis as well.
