SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A spokeswoman for Jaycee Dugard says only
Dugard and her family should decide when and if a film is made based on the 18 years she spent with the man charged with kidnapping her.

In a statement Tuesday, family spokeswoman Nancy Seltzer termed a plan to make a movie about her life as "exploitive, hurtful and breathtakingly unkind."

The statement came after Shane Ryan, the director of low-budget horror movies such as "Amateur Porn Star Killer" and "Romance Road Killers" announced that he expected to start production next month on "Abducted Girl, An American Sex Slave."

Ryan told Sacramento television station KCRA that he wants to focus on the relationship between Dugard and Phillip Garido, the man charged with abducting, raping and holding her captive in his backyard.

That should be left up to Jaycee and her family. I don't think that's what their minds are on right now. If later on Jaycee wants to have a movie with the things she wants people to know in it then that should be her choice. I think they might be for it only if they think it will help others in some way. I just read her book and she seems to be a very intelligent young lady and more than anything wants to help people. I couldn't see judging these people for anything they choose to do but i do believe anything they do will be positive and not negative. Noone knows what you would do given those circumstances.

the thing i so dont understand is why on earth would jaycee n her family want to put it out there, this is a very tragic ordeal. this whole family needs time to heal n get on the right path w/ out all this publicity n hoop la. sure we are here to support n all but in my eye if this were my daughter n grand kids i think i'd want to protect them n see that justice is done before anything, yea sure everyone wants to hear the story but come on ppl she has suffered enough n the whole ordeal is sickening in itself, god bless u all jaycee n u r in our prayers
