Smoking in the Movies - Greg - 05-27-2021

I must not have been paying attention. Filmmakers are actively banning smoking in pictures? 


From Emma Stone Wrote:Emma Stone’s eponymous turn in Disney’s live-action prequel “Cruella” is missing one iconic facet of the character: Her trademark cigarette and long cigarette holder. That’s because Disney started banning smoking in all of its films as early as 2007, then extended the ban to all Lucasfilm, Marvel, and Pixar offerings in 2015. But the ban didn’t stop Stone from wanting to pick up Cruella’s cigarette holder for her new movie.

“That is not allowed in 2021,” Stone said when The New York Times brought up Cruella being a non-smoker in the live-action movie. “We are not allowed to smoke onscreen in a Disney film. It was difficult to not have that cigarette holder…I was so excited to have that green plume of smoke in there, but it was not possible. I don’t want to promote smoking, but I’m also not trying to promote skinning puppies.”

It's good to have standards.

Ya know, I was really struck by how much smoking there was in this - http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomForum/showthread.php?tid=6315 - it's anime, after all. Not that all anime is for kids. Far from it. But apart from the smoking, the womanizing, the stealing, and the killing, this anime was kid friendly.
