'Jack Reacher' premiere postponed due to Newtown school shooting Paramount Pictures announced late Friday that tomorrow’s planned world premiere of the Tom Cruise thriller Jack Reacher has been postponed “due to the terrible tragedy in Newtown Connecticut, and out of honor and respect for the families of the victims whose lives were senselessly taken.”
Based on the pulp thrillers by author Lee Child, the PG-13 film opens with a random shooting in a public place as seen through a sniper’s rifle. To be clear, the movie was filmed over a year ago, and the plot otherwise has no real connection to today’s horrific school shooting. But that opening sequence still could be seen as too unsettling just a day after an all-too real public shooting rocked the nation.
The red carpet celebration was set to take place in Pittsburgh, where the film was largely shot. Paramount has not yet set a date for the rescheduled event, but the film will still arrive in theaters on Dec. 21.

'Jack Reacher' Lincoln Center Screening Postponed; Pittsburgh Premiere Set for Dec. 19 The Film Society of Lincoln Center has postponed a planned screening of the Tom Cruise thriller Jack Reacher that was slated for Monday night out of respect for the victims of the shooting in Newtown, Conn.
"We are postponing the event out of respect for the families of the victims," said John Wildman, a spokesman for the Film Society of Lincoln Center, which is hosting a Tom Cruise retrospective this week.
Paramount, distributor of the film based on a popular series of novels by Lee Child, said in a statement that it supported Lincoln Center's decision to postpone the event.
On Dec. 19, Cruise will travel to Pittsburgh to screen the film "in the city that so graciously hosted the production of the film. There will be no red carpet during this time of mourning," Paramount said in a statement. "The filmmakers and Tom Cruise convey their heartfelt sadness and their deep condolences to the families during this time." SOURCE

'Jack Reacher' Director on Canceling Premiere Christopher McQuarrie, director and screenwriter of "Jack Reacher," said he endorsed Paramount's decision to cancel the Pittsburgh premiere of his upcoming action movie in the wake of the school shooting in Newtown, Conn. "Nobody should be celebrating anything 24 hours after a tragic event like that," McQuarrie told TheWrap.
Given that this film opens with a mass shooting, are you worried about how "Jack Reacher" will be received in the wake of the Newtown massacre?
It may have an impact, and it may not. I can't concern myself with that, not when other people have so many bigger problems than whatever worries I have about opening a movie I've been working on for two years. It just seems trivial compared to the devastation that people are feeling. Whatever happens, I can't worry about how it effects me personally, because I get to go home to my children, so it just pales in comparison to what others are going through right now.
Did you support Paramount's decision to cancel the movie's premiere in Pittsburgh last Saturday?
Tom and I insisted upon it. Nobody should be celebrating anything 24 hours after a tragic event like that. We thought long and hard about it. This was not a snap judgment, because we wanted to give back to the city of Pittsburgh, because they were so great to us.
What is Tom Cruise like as a collaborator?
He is great. You're talking about somebody who has worked with best directors of the later half of the 20th century. He comes to work wanting to learn from everybody around him. He's absorbed an enormous amount from people like Scorsese, Spielberg and Kubrick and he brings all of that with him and distils that into a sense of story and story telling.
Still his casting was somewhat controversial, no? In the Lee Child novels, Reacher is blonde and 6 foot, 5 inches. Do you think fan objections were valid?
Anybody who bought the book, bought shares of stock in Jack Reacher, so their opinion matters. But many of the most vocal objectors don’t really understand everything that goes into making a movie. When it comes to his physical size, there was simply not a movie actor like that who exists and who could get this movie made. What's funny is those fans who reacted negatively would offer suggestions who they think would be right and those are quite frankly no different when it comes to the height thing. Clive Owen? He's a great actor, but he's not anymore like the Jack Reacher that is described in the books.
When it came to casting Tom, I'd rather have fans be pissed off before they see the movie rather than after.
THE REST
