Gilbert Flores/Variety Anne Hathaway told Complex during her press tour for “The End of Oak Street” that movies should be rated R if they feature dogs being killed. Moviegoers have wondered if “Oak Street” would feature dog violence ever since the film’s trailer revealed Starbuck, the trusted canine of the film’s central family (Hathaway plays matriarch Denise).
“I feel like movies that kill dogs should automatically be rated R,” Hathaway said. “Doesn’t matter if anybody curses, doesn’t matter if there’s violence, if a dog dies, R-rated… I think everybody’s so traumatized by ‘John Wick,’ because I’ve been seeing those [comments for our movie] like, ‘They better not kill the dog.’ I’m like, ‘Which movies are out there killing dogs that everybody’s scared that we’re just casually doing it in movies now?’”
