Film Premieres Canceled Amid Pacific Palisades Wildfire

The Hollywood premieres of Amazon MGM's 'Unstoppable' and Universal's 'Wolf Man' have been cancelled due to the rapidly spreading Pacific Palisades wildfire, which has expanded to cover over 2,900 acres and led to the evacuation of 30,000 residents. Both premieres were scheduled to take place on Tuesday, with 'Unstoppable' set for the DGA Theater and featuring a star-studded cast including Jennifer Lopez and Jharrel Jerome, while 'Wolf Man', directed by Leigh Whannell, was scheduled for the TCL Chinese Theatre. Local authorities have issued urgent evacuation orders as the fire poses a significant threat to homes in the area, exacerbated by strong winds. Firefighters are actively battling the blaze, which has resulted in the damage of multiple structures but, so far, no reported injuries. The cancellations came shortly before the events were due to commence, emphasizing safety concerns amid the ongoing emergency. Both films have rescheduled their premieres for future dates, with 'Unstoppable' set to release globally on January 16.
