Paramount Pictures says “out of honour and respect for the families of the victims” the premiere won’t take place in Pittsburgh, where Jack Reacher was filmed.
The premiere would’ve been Cruise’s first US media appearance since his split from Katie Holmes over the summer.A proclamation ceremony for Cruise had been planned with Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett and Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl.
No new date for the premiere has been set. The movie opens December 21.
