Anne Hathaway calls for an automatic R rating for any movie where the dog dies
Amazingly, Hathaway was not talking about John Leguizamo casually chucking a puppy off a cliff in The Odyssey .
Veteran actress Anne Hathaway has called for a new rule requiring movies that feature a dog dying to be automatically rated R. The proposal comes as she prepares to release her new film, The End Of Oak Street. Hathaway's stance is based on her belief that audiences are becoming increasingly traumatized by cinematic depictions of dog death.
She specifically mentioned John Wick as an example of a movie that has pushed the boundaries of canine mortality on screen. Hathaway's comments have sparked a conversation about whether current films are casually killing off dogs too frequently, given that some movies, like The Odyssey, have also featured dog deaths.
