Families of Aurora theater shooting victims ask movie studio to take action ahead of 'Joker' release

A group of people whose loved ones witnessed or were killed in 2012's Aurora theater shooting are calling on Warner Bros. to help combat gun violence as the studio prepares to release its rated-R comic book film"Joker."

In a letter addressed to Warner Bros. CEO Ann Sarnoff and obtained by CNN, five family members and friends of victims of the movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado ask the studio to"use your massive platform and influence to join us in our fight to build safer communities with fewer guns." "Over the last several weeks, large American employers from Walmart to CVS have announced that they are going to lean into gun safety.

It’s literally a movie about an evil villain. So there’s violence, yeah. And does it glorify that violence? Sure, just like every other movie. Is it just the franchise/make-up?

Warner Bros after the movie is released.

I'm a little confused about what statement do these families want from WB? 'We made a movie that has lots of violence. We are sorry' We don't need a movie studio to tell us this movie is about a deranged fictional character please don't try this at home. We already know that.

We should listen to all victims of gun violence.
