FANNING A FAN OF TAKEN
from ET Online, November 26, 2002
Dakota Fanning, who stars in the pivotal role of Allie in the SCI FI Channel's upcoming original miniseries Steven Spielberg Presents told SCI FI Wire that the show presents a fresh variation on alien-abduction stories. The 8-year-old actress appears as Allie in four of the 10 episodes and narrates the entire 20-hour miniseries."I just think Taken is so not like anything that anybody has ever seen before, because all the [characters] have different takes on the aliens," Fanning said in an interview. "For instance, the Clarke family thinks they're good, and the Keys family thinks they're not good. ... And then the Crawford family doesn't really know what to think. They just kind of think, 'Well, maybe they're good, but maybe they're not good. They're trying to take people, but maybe that's a good thing. Maybe you can have a better life. I don't know.'"Asked what she hoped the audience would take away from watching Taken, Fanning responded, "I think the idea is that aliens really aren't as different as you might think." Taken premieres on SCI FI at 9 p.m. ET/PT Dec. 2.
