The Los Angeles Police Department says it plans to step up its visibility around movie theaters for the opening of 'Joker' because of heightened fears over the film's content
A police spokeswoman says that while there have been no credible threats in the Los Angeles area,"the department will maintain high visibility around movie theaters when opens" next week.
A police spokeswoman told AFP that while there have been no credible threats in the Los Angeles area, "the department will maintain high visibility around movie theaters when opens" next week. "Joker" is being released seven years after 12 people were killed in Aurora, Colorado, when a gunman opened fire during a screening of Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises."
In their letter, the Aurora families noted that their real-life tragedy had been "perpetrated by a socially isolated individual who felt 'wronged' by society." "It is not the intention of the film, the filmmakers or the studio to hold this character up as a hero," it said in a statement.
