Anne Hathaway has some thoughts that are likely to make most dog lovers say, \u201cAmen!\u201d <\/p>\n

The actor, who stars in the sci-fi thriller \u201cThe End Of Oak Street,\u201d <\/a>told Complex in an Aug. 13 clip that films that kill off dogs should \u201cautomatically be rated R.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cDoesn\u2019t matter if anybody curses. It doesn\u2019t matter if there\u2019s violence,\u201d Hathaway told the outlet. \u201cIf a dog dies \u2014 R-rated.\u201d <\/p>\n

The film, which was released in theaters Aug. 14, revolves around the Platt family, who are thrown into chaos after a cosmic event transports them into prehistoric times. Hathaway, who plays matriarch Denise Platt, assured viewers that the family dog in the film, Starbuck, does not die as many had feared. And no, the movie isn\u2019t rated-R \u2014 it is in fact a PG-13 flick. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe break rules in this movie,\u201d Hathaway told Complex. \u201cThat might not be one of them.\u201d <\/p>\n

Hathaway said she\u2019s seen the concern from fans for Starbuck. And she suspects that the fears around his potential death have to do with movies that have \u201ctraumatized\u201d viewers like the 2014 film \u201cJohn Wick,\u201d during which a beloved beagle named Daisy meets a horrible end amid a home invasion. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think everybody\u2019s so traumatized by \u2018John Wick\u2019 because I\u2019ve been seeing those too,\u201d Hathaway said of the concern for Starbuck. \u201cLike, \u2018They better not kill the dog!\u2019 I\u2019m like, which movies are out there killing dogs that everybody is so scared that they\u2019re just casually doing it in movies now?\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, movies can fall under an R-rating <\/a>if they include violence that is graphic in nature. This includes those that show varying amounts of blood or gore, torture and more. Injuries are usually evident as well. PG-13 films, on the other hand, can include violence that has some realistic qualities. However, the violence \u201cwill not be both realistic and pervasive or extreme.\u201d The ratings do not specify the types of victims of the acts of violence.<\/p>\n

Dog lovers seemed to agree with Hathaway\u2019s take. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe one time I don\u2019t mind spoilers. If the dog dies I\u2019m not watching the movie no matter the good reviews,\u201d the Instagram user said. <\/p>\n

Another said that \u201cThere\u2019s no reason to kill a dog in a movie ever.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anne Hathaway has some thoughts that are likely to make most dog lovers say, \u201cAmen!\u201d The actor, who…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":585705,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46],"class_list":["post-585704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=585704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585704\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/585705"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=585704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=585704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=585704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
