Liam Neeson's red carpet event cancelled

Liam Neeson's red carpet event for his new film Cold Pursuit was cancelled.

This comes after an interview where Neeson said he wanted to kill a black man. According to Reuters, Neeson said these words in response to the rape of a friend who said her attacker was black.

Movie studio Lionsgate did not comment on the cancellation or on Neeson's interview while Neeson has responded saying, "I'm not a racist".
