The planned world premiere in Japan of director Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds has been canceled because of concerns about providing security for Tom Cruise and other stars and preventing bootleg recording of the film, reports the Associated Press.

The anticipated film, a contemporary retelling of H.G. Wells’s seminal classic, was set to debut at Tokyo’s Budokan arena on June 13, more than two weeks before its June 29 global release.

“To our regret, we have decided to cancel the showing because of safety concerns,” distributor UIP said in a statement.
