There are those who say that Dakota Fanning is capable of anything, but can she do an Elvis impersonation?

According to Variety, Dakota Fanning is currently filming a new movie where she playes a young girl, the victim of abuse, who tries to keep her life together by singing and dancing like Elvis.

Dakota is appearing opposite Robin Wright Penn and David Morse in the yet untitled indie drama from Deborah Kampmeier. The film is set in The South.

The film is cited on IMDB as 'Hounddog' & production on the film begins in North Caroline this week. The 12-year-old Fanning was most recently seen in 'Dreamer' (As Kurt Russel's on-screen daughter) and 'War of the Worlds' with Tom Cruise, though she has 'Charlotte's Web' set for a holiday season release.

Wright Penn starred in Kampmeier's earlier film 'Virgin'. The 'Nine Lives' and 'Empire Falls' co-star has Miramax's 'Breaking and Entering' and Warner Brothers' 'Beowulf' on tap. Already on the big screen in 'Down in the Valley' and '16 Blocks' this spring, Morse has completed work on D.J. Caruso's 'Disturbia' for DreamWorks. Morse and Wright Penn previously appeared together in Sean Penn's 1995 film 'The Crossing Guard'.

Dakota was the voice of Lilo in 'Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch'.
