Anne Hathaway Says Films Where Dogs Die Should Be Rated R

Anne Hathaway Says Films Where Dogs Die Should Be Rated R

Anne Hathaway believes that films that include storylines about dogs dying should come with an R rating. In a recent interview with Complex, the Oscar winner admitted she’d seen speculation about the fate of the dog, Starbuck, in The End of Oak Street. “I feel like movies that kill dogs should automatically be rated R. Doesn’t matter if anybody curses, it doesn’t matter if there’s violence, if a dog dies, R-rated,” she said. “Somebody was like, ‘Can you just let the audiences know that, like, it’s all gonna be OK?’ We break rules in this movie, that might not be one of them. Don’t worry,” she continued. “I think everybody’s so traumatized by John Wick, because I’ve been seeing those [comments about The End of Oak Street] too, like, ‘They better not kill the dog.’ She added, “I’m like, which movies are out there killing dogs that everybody’s scared that we’re just casually doing it in movies now?” The End of Oak Street stars Hathaway and Ewan McGregor as parents whose family is suddenly shifted to …

Anne Hathaway’s Pregnancy And The Rise Of The ‘Bumpvestigation’

Anne Hathaway’s Pregnancy And The Rise Of The ‘Bumpvestigation’

Anne Hathaway attended the premiere this past week of her new movie, The End of Oak Street, in Los Angeles, but online, conspiracy theorists were not focusing on the film or Hathaway’s style. Their target was on the actress’ pregnant body. Hathaway wore a blue top and low-rise jeans that revealed the bottom of her pregnant stomach. Social media comments from the event questioned whether her bare bump was real. “That belly looks fake,” one top comment from Entertainment Tonight’s post reads, while another on X declares, “Is this what a fake bump looks like? Why does her tummy look so odd?” In her Instagram post sharing her premiere photos, Hathaway seemingly addressed the conspiracy with her caption that included a peace sign and a kissing emoji: “Fake hair, real bump.” Anne Hathaway seemingly addressed the fake pregnancy rumors on her recent Instagram post. This is not the first “bumpvestigation” targeting a powerful, famous woman in the public eye. There have also been online conspiracy theories that Beyoncé and Meghan Markle faked their pregnancy bumps …

The End of Oak Street review: Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor go prehistoric

The End of Oak Street review: Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor go prehistoric

A star rating of 4 out of 5. High concept doesn’t always equal high quality – we like sharks! We like tornadoes! Job done! But in this instance “dinosaurs in the suburbs” works a dream. It’s a loving homage to Steven Spielberg and The End of Oak Street less rips off Jurassic Park, ET and Jaws and more relies on audiences’ love for those films and the nostalgia they are imbued with to bring a fresh take to the ‘Spielburbia’ sub-genre. In the hands of director David Robert Mitchell, who made breakout horror hit It Follows, this is a moving, funny and thrilling family-friendly 12A romp, which still has a murky dark heart at the centre. Set (initially) in 1982, Oak Street lies in a friendly neighbourhood of kids on bikes, perfect lawns sullied by naughty dogs, school bullies and hot new high-schoolers. The Platt family – mum Denise (Anne Hathaway), dad Greg (Ewan McGregor) and kids Audrey (Maisy Stella) and Brian (Christian Convery), with rescue dog Starbuck, are ostensibly the perfect unit, but beneath …

The End of Oak Street review – Anne Hathaway’s dinosaur blockbuster is better than any of the Jurassic World films

The End of Oak Street review – Anne Hathaway’s dinosaur blockbuster is better than any of the Jurassic World films

Get the latest entertainment news, reviews and star-studded interviews with our Independent Culture email Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Nostalgic pop culture doesn’t need to feel like we’re watching a limp corpse being puppeteered around the room. David Robert Mitchell’s The End of Oak Street reminds us of this, delivering palaeontological chaos of the Spielberg variety. It’s entertaining as hell and silly when it needs to be, without sacrificing too much of the disaffected cool-kid style of the director’s previous, adult-orientated output – namely It Follows (2014), a horror haunted by suburban decay. The End of Oak Street is not only better than any of the Jurassic World films, but so much less stiff and fetishistic than the exhaustive line of Eighties “love letters” produced by Stranger Things’s Shawn Levy and his ilk. It also sees Anne Hathaway extend her formidable 2026 run (that also includes Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2, and The Odyssey), acting up such a …

Anne Hathaway stars in chilling first-look trailer with Dakota Johnson for Verity

Anne Hathaway stars in chilling first-look trailer with Dakota Johnson for Verity

It’s no secret that Anne Hathaway is having one of the busiest years of her career. So far in 2026, the acclaimed actress has starred in Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2 and The Odyssey – with another film, sci-fi survival film The End of Oak Street, set to be released later this week. And now, a brand new trailer for Hathaway’s fifth cinematic offering of the year, Verity, has been released – and it looks like it’s set to be a spooky one. The film is an adaptation of the bestselling novel by author Colleen Hoover. Though perhaps best known for her romance novels, Verity is a departure of the norm for Hoover, with the book billed as a psychological thriller. The “seductive” thriller, set to be released in cinemas on 2 October, follows Lowen Ashleigh (played by Materialists’ Dakota Johnson), a struggling writer who relocates to a remote home to ghostwrite a book for renowned author Verity Crawford (Hathaway). However, when Lowen arrives at the estate and uncovers Verity’s autobiography notes, she …

Hardworking Princess Anne and Prince Edward join forces for rare sibling trip

King Charles’ younger sister Princess Anne and brother Prince Edward both keep an incredibly busy schedule as equally hardworking members of the royal family.  The two are often out and about on their own engagements across the country. While they routinely reunite with other senior royals on major occasions like Trooping the Colour and Christmas Day in Sandringham, the royal siblings’ working schedules in between rarely overlap.  Despite typically carrying out their engagements separately or with their respective spouses, the two joined forces on Thursday for day seven of the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
