Larry Clark Switches Wild Child for ‘Savage Innocent’

Date:

Larry Clark isn’t dropping projects, but instead switching up titles, adding Dakota Johnson and is going to finally get back into the director’s chair for a five week shoot in Los Angeles next March 15th according to Production Weekly’s twitter feed.

Dakota Johnson (daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith) who has landed parts in Daniel Barnz’s Beastly and in Fincher’s The Social Network is joining Rory Culkin and Ray Liotta. 

Savage Innocent sees a suburban American family adopt a boy after being found in the middle of a road. The relations he establishes with each member of this family and the many social surroundings he goes to, are the beginning of a plot that will reveal the savageness that exists in every human being. This will be Clark’s first film since Wassup Rockers.  

Do any of you still care about what Clark can bring to the table? Would you have liked to have seen him direct the Mona Lisa remake instead?
