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.

Twilight madness continues as premieres of the new ‘Breaking Dawn – Part 2’ sold out across the country today in anticipation of tonight’s midnight opening. With such a rabid fan base, including those willing to camp outside of the Nokia Theatre for 6 days before the Hollywood premiere, it is no wonder that thousands of theaters are already sold out.

According to Fandango, the final installment of the Twilight franchise has accounted for 92% of today’s ticket sales and has been in the top three since they went on pre-sale back on October 1^st. Fandango president, Paul Yanover, issued a statement today saying: “It’s the most anticipated moviegoing event of the season, and our surveys indicate that the action in ‘Part 2’ may be driving new moviegoers to see the grand finale.”

The survey found that 52% of those intent on seeing the film are most interested in the action, while only 48% are most excited about the continuing romance between Bella and Edward. The film is expected to gross as much as $150 million this weekend in the U.S. alone.

iTunes just premiered a new trailer for the upcoming Sam Raimi film ‘Oz: The Great and Powerful’ and the film, set to be released on March 8, 2013, is already generating some serious buzz.

James Franco stars as Oscar Diggs a small-time magician living in Kansas, who dreams of greatness. When his hot-air balloon is caught in a tornado, Diggs finds himself in the land of Oz surrounded by three witches, one of who is played by Mila Kunis. Diggs is told the prophecy of a great man who will save Oz from the wicked witch.

The original trailer, which premiered at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego, gives this same premise but the new trailer also gives us a deeper look into story. It reveals that Diggs must undertake the challenge of convincing the inhabitants of Oz that he is the great man that the prophecy has promised. We are also introduced to a flying monkey voiced by actor Zach Braff and a mysterious porcelain doll named China Girl.

Fans camped out for almost a week outside Los Angeles’s Nokia Theatre in anticipation of the final installment in the ‘Twilight’ franchise and last night‘s premiere of ‘Breaking dawn – Part 2’ was a bittersweet even for stars and fans alike. To celebrate the conclusion of one of this century’s most beloved stories a lavish after party was held last night for 3,500 guests.

The event, set up by party planner Chad Hudson, featured small vignettes from each of Stephanie Meyer’s 5 books. Bella’s orange pick-up truck was set up at the venues entrance, along with waiters passing out celebratory cocktails. Guests could also view the wolf pack’s “New Moon” lunar bodies and several of the motorcycles from Jacob Black’s garage. The Volturi also got their due with a red set where guests could get their pictures taken upon the group’s thrones.

The series’ stars were on hand for the affair including; Peter Facinelli, Kellan Lutz and Nikki Reed and music and dancing went on until the wee hours of the morning.

The premiere is still 4 days away but that is not deterring die-hard “Twilight” fans from heading down to Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre to set up camp in anticipation of the big day. Starting Thursday morning fans began setting up camp, packing in tents and sleeping bags and Summit Entertainment, the studio that produces the series, is expecting as many as 2,000 people in the makeshift tent city by Tuesday. Promoters are taking advantage of the gathering to hold special events such as an exercise class led by a banana-suit wearing instructor and a Thursday morning screening of ‘Twilight.” Despite the difficulties presented by urban camping the fans appear to be having a great time. Superfan Mary Lou Micco emailed MTV to say: “Things have been great so far. Everyone that I have talked to seems to be happy with the way things were handled with check-in. I am sitting here watching work out session and it’s really something! Watching ‘Twilight’ in the middle of the Nokia Plaza last night was amazing! I can’t even describe the feeling when you are watching it with people who love it as much as you do.”

“Breaking Dawn Part 2” is the fifth and final installment of the “Twilight” series and fans are sad to be saying goodbye to their beloved characters. The actors are also having bittersweet feelings as they part ways with their “Twilight” counterparts. Kristen Stewart, who stars as Bella Swan, has expressed her eagerness to put “Twilight” madness behind her. For Taylor Lautner, who stars as teen werewolf Jacob, letting go has been a little harder. The actor recently said: “For me, it will be tough to say goodbye to spending time with the people that I love. We’ve grown so close over the past few years. Our relationship will go on past this but to not have that excuse to spend day after day together while filming or promoting will be different.”
