Jaycee Dugard Film to be Made by Horror Movie Director
The story is already horrific enough.
Jaycee Dugard, the young woman who was found alive and well after spending 18 years with her childhood kidnapper and rapist, is set to be potrayed on the big screen by a director of low-budget horror films. Needless to say, the Dugard family is not happy.
Shane Ryan, 24, whose other film credits include Amateur Porn Star Killer 3: The Final Chapter and Big Boobs, Blonde Babes, Bad Blood, has started filming a biopic of Dugard, who is now 30, that he says will focus on her relationship with the man who kidnapped and raped her for almost two decades, and who reportedly fathered her two children. Ryan's film is called Abducted Girl, An American Sex Slave.
But according to a spokesperson, the family has very strong objections to the film.
"If and when Jaycee and her family think it is appropriate, their story will be told by them, in a forum of their choosing with the respect and thoughtfulness they so deserve," said the statement. "Anyone else speculating about the details of such a personal hurt, for financial gain, is exploitive, hurtful and breathtakingly unkind."
Still, Ryan wants to tell an engaging, respectful story. "We want to capture how sad this story is, but also how interesting," he said to a Sacramento TV station. "We're trying to figure out a way to do that so it's not exploitative."
