The premiere for the film, which stars Harrison
Ford and Ryan Gosling, was scheduled for Tuesday night in
Hollywood. The screening will go ahead but without a red carpet
where stars chat to reporters and pose for photos.
"In light of the tragic events of last night, Warner Bros.
Pictures, Sony Pictures and Alcon Entertainment are cancelling
the red carpet for tomorrow’s screening of 'Blade Runner 2049,'"
Time Warner Inc-owned Warner Bros. said in a statement.
Monday's red-carpet premiere in Los Angeles for the movie
"Marshall" was also canceled, and ABC television said "Dancing
With the Stars" would begin with a moment of silence on Monday.
Variety also reported that Las Vegas shows Cirque du Soleil and
Blue Man Group canceled Monday night performances.
Sunday's shooting turned a three-day open-air country music
festival into a scene of carnage. More than 500 people were
injured after a 64-year-old gunman released a hailstorm of
bullets into the site of the Route91 Harvest festival.
Police said the motives of the gunman, who killed himself, were
unknown.
