Jennifer Lopez 's Hollywood premiere for new movie Unstoppable has been canceled amid a rapidly growing wildfire in California. "In light of today’s safety concerns around heightened wind activity and fire outbreaks in Los Angeles, we regret to inform you that we are cancelling tonight’s premiere of UNSTOPPABLE," a spokesperson for the studio told HELLO! "As much as we were looking forward to celebrating this wonderful and inspiring film with you, safety is our first priority. We encourage everyone to watch UNSTOPPABLE on Prime Video, which will be available globally on January 16.
Thank you for your understanding and please stay safe." The fire grew to 300 acres within four hours in the neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, where Jennifer's ex-husband Ben Affleck and numerous other A-listers live. Residents have been told "don't wait, evacuate" by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services.
The film premiere was due to take place in Hollywood, with Jennifer to be joined by her co-stars Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, and Don Cheadle. The film is a biopic of US wrestler Anthony Robles who won a national championship with one leg. Jennifer plays his mother, Judy Robles.
Hours before it had been due to take place, the Los Angeles City Fire Department said: “People in the area of Palisades need to evacuate now due to a rapidly moving wildfire. Pack all people and pets into your vehicle and leave the area immediately." Homes have been pictured on.
