Tom Cruise: 'Jack Reacher' NYC Premiere Postponed Due to School Shooting

Tom Cruise flashes a smile as he arrives at a taping for The Late Show with David Letterman at the Ed Sullivan Theater on Monday (December 17) in New York City.

The 50-year-old actor is in town to promote his flick Jack Reacher. The flick was scheduled to premiere tonight, but was postponed due to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

“Out of respect for the families who lost loved ones in Newtown, Connecticut, we are postponing tonight’s event,” a statement from the film society read. “We extend our love and condolences to you. Our community grieves with yours.”

The Pittsburgh premiere of Jack Reacher, which was scheduled to take place last week, was also postponed in light of the devastating events.
