It was announced today that the production company for Quentin Tarantino’s new movie Django Unchained has cancelled the movie’s Hollywood premiere, making it the third major film this week to forgo the usual opening festivities. Jack Reacher, the new Tom Cruise movie from Christopher McQuarrie has also reportedly removed certain scenes from its promotional materials in light of the massacre in Connecticut last week.
Django unlimited was set to premiere tonight in Los Angeles but instead will be shown in a private screening to cast and crew of the film. The Weinstein Company, who produced the movie, issued a statement explaining; “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the tragedy in Newton, Connecticut, and in this time of national mourning we have decided to forgo our scheduled event.”
Scenes of Tom Cruise shooting a semi-automatic weapon have reportedly been removed from all promotional footage for Jack Reacher ahead of its Christmas Day release.
