Django Unchained is the new Quentin Tarantino has been marred in controversy ever since it’s release on Christmas day. Many African American groups have called it offensive towards black people and says it brings up bad memories of the way black people were once treated in this country.

The controversy doesn’t stop at the movie either. The Django Unchained action figures that the studio was planning to released have been cancelled after advocacy groups such as Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and Project Islamic Hope called for a boycott of the figurines.

The Weinstein Company, which financed the film, reached out to the toy company tasked with making the action figures and told them to halt production ASAP. The toy makers agreed and stopped production almost immediately, saying they never meant to offend anyone. The company only made about 1,000 figurines before the stop order came in.

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.
