The Los Angeles premiere for the Amazon MGM Studios Jennifer Lopez movie Unstoppable has been cancelled tonight due to the Pacific Palisades fire outbreak, Deadline can confirm.
It is the first noticeable event tonight nixed as winds have reached 40-60 mph. Several homes have already been destroyed from the now 772-acre blaze which started around 10:30am as a 10-acre fire in the area of N Piedra Morada Dr near The Highlands.
Eastbound Pacific Coast Highway has been closed at Topanga Canyon Boulevard. Eastbound lanes of PCH were also closed at Las Flores Canyon Road, according to L.A.C.S.D Public Information Officer Tuyet Alcala. Traffic was being diverted on the Santa Monica Freeway at Lincoln Boulevard to keep people from entering the area. Sunset Boulevard at Palisades Drive was also reportedly impassible, with firefighters potentially using the thoroughfare as a firebreak.
Unstoppable is the feature directorial debut of Argo editor William Goldenberg and tells the story of wrestler Anthony Robles played by Jharrel Jerome. Lopez stars as his mother.

The premiere was set to take place at the DGA in West Hollywood with arrivals at 5:30PM for a 7 p.m. screening. Cast Lopez, Jerome, Don Cheadle, Michael Peña, Mykelti Williamson, Robles and mother Judy Robles were originally scheduled to attend.
