Anne Hathaway Urges Automatic R Rating for Films That Kill Dogs

Summary
Anne Hathaway said movies in which dogs die should automatically get an R rating, arguing the content is traumatic regardless of profanity or other violence.
Speaking on the “The End of Oak Street” press tour, she linked that reaction to audience anxiety shaped by “John Wick,” saying viewers keep asking whether her new film kills its family dog, Starbuck.
Hathaway sought to calm those fears, saying the dinosaur thriller “might not” break that rule and telling audiences not to worry about Starbuck’s fate.
“The End of Oak Street,” starring Hathaway and Ewan McGregor and directed by David Robert Mitchell, is now playing in theaters nationwide.
