The US premiere of Quentin Tarantino’s latest movie “Django Unchained” has been cancelled as a mark of respect for the victim’s of last week’s tragic shooting at a school in Newtown, Connecticut. The event will be replaced by a small screening for cast and crew, and their friends and families.

In a statement, the film’s distributor explained that "In this time of national mourning we have decided to forgo our scheduled event.” The film tells the story of a freed slave, played by Jamie Foxx, and contains a large amount of bloody violence. Tarantino has said that he’s tired of defending his use of violence in films, adding "It's a western. Give me a break."

Other films have had their premieres affected. Tom Cruise’s new movie “Jack Reacher” will be shown in a scaled down screening with no red carpet, though Cruise will introduce it. Billy Crystal’s new movie “Parental Guidance” has also called off its premiere. Will you see “Django Unchained” when it is released?

    I planned to until Jamie Foxx joked on SNL about "killing all the white people". Are you serious? Joking about mass genocide against any demographic is never OK, and I shouldn't have to clarify that!

    I want to see it but doubt I will go to any openings of it. Probably not even the theater at all. The way they are plugging it constantly makes me wonder if it will be as good as I had originally thought. Usually lots of advertising means it is not all that good.

    I'll pass. Jamie Foxx said it was cool to kill all the white people in the film, I bet deep down he thinks it's real cool that all the victims in this massacre were also white. What a class act!

    it's very obvious that the man has contempt
    for women and black people.why any self respecting
    person that fit those categories would be into his
    films is beyond me.

    Well actually, maybe... Tarantino does good wok but honestly I'm just not that hyped up over this one. Voting "yes" because it'll probably be a solid movie like Reservoir Dogs. I think postponing the release was a tasteful choice.

    Hmmmm, an uber violent movie about "killing all the white people".

    I think I'll pass.

    It would be tragically ironic if there was theater violence insprired by the movie and the stupid comments that have made about it.

    Would you watch a movie based on killing people who were not white?

    I am truly trying to be color blind, but when race is used like a club, it is hard not to notice. If a white actor where to joke, "I get to kill all the Asians", or "I get to kill all the Mexicans", I would avoid that movie as well. I enjoy a historical film or action adventure where violence can be part of the story. I don't enjoy Tarantino style splatter films generally.

    This is silly. Unless the premier is close in distance to the shooting I don't understand why something as irrelevant as a movie premier is being cancelled...

    I have lost respect for Hollywood, a bunch of liberal perverted baby killing freaks. I wonder how anyone can support actors writers who represent immoral violent extreme views in social issues. I have went for two years not attending movies pro sporting events and have cancelled satellite TV over two years ago, I have been able to spend time with family and move on with my life in a more positive way. Hollywood twists reality to fit the political BS agenda. My advice to people is send a message to liberal America, don't support liberal Hollywood as they are over paid just as pro athletes are, boycott the crap they call entertainment. PS, Clint Eastwood and a few others are the exception to the above. By the way Jamie Fox comment on Whites really shows what is in the hearts of Blacks, they hate all white people so piss on him and his sick mind. Jamie Fox should be renamed as Richard Cranium. Angry Black Men and Women. The reality people you voted and supported one, dumb and irresponsible.

    I think your off base with the "Jamie Fox comment on Whites really shows what is in the hearts of Blacks" That one man does not speak or represent what is in the hearts of blacks at all. As a black man I love my good nature, spirited, hard working, honest, respectful people of all races or nationalities. I personally hate all forms of racism and prejudice. I actually don't think Foxx is a racist just a very poor misguided attempt at humor.

    P.S. It's not about the color of ones skin, but the content of their character should one be defined. So unless someone is personally traveling across the world to touch base personally with many different people one can not possibly define what is in the heart and soul of many. All nor a majority of black people are not racist at heart it's a common misconception.

    You are a scared jealous racist who is paranoid around African Americans. I can picture you scared and sweating around African Americans. I think your comment ''what is in the hearts of blacks'' is amusing.

    Mr Tarantino continues to demonstrate that he's a second-rate director incapable of eliciting emotion without vulgar, graphic violence; Mr Foxx has made a living out of racial exploitation ... it got old a long time ago.
