The world premiere of Blade Runner 2049 was set to take place tonight in Los Angeles, but the film studio have cancelled the event as a sign of respect, in the wake of Sunday's mass shooting in Las Vegas.

At least 59 people were killed and more than 500 wounded after a gunman opened fire on the crowd at an open-air music festival on the Las Vegas Strip this Sunday night.

“In light of the tragic events of last night, Warner Bros Pictures, Sony Pictures, and Alcon Entertainment are canceling the red carpet for tomorrow’s screening of ‘Blade Runner 2049,” Warner Bros said in a statement released on Monday. “We join the rest of the country in sending heartfelt thoughts and prayers to all those affected by this tragedy.”
