HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Twentieth Century Fox has elected to postpone indefinitely the release of director Joel Schumacher's sniper thriller "Phone Booth," while a real-life gunman terrorizes residents around the nation's capital.

"In light of recent events, we are delaying the release of 'Phone Booth,"' said Flo Grace, a spokeswoman for the studio. "We don't have a new date yet."

The movie was scheduled to be released Nov. 15.

Guess this won't be coming out at all.
