Movies, TV scramble to reschedule, cancel

The world is still struggling to cope with Tuesday’s attack on America, and Hollywood is no exception.

Many movie production companies removed any films involving terrorism from the fall release schedule, including the new Arnold Schwarzenegger’s action flick “Collateral Damage,” which was slated for an Oct. 5 release.

The film featured footage of a skyscraper being hit by a bomb.

“Big Trouble,” starring Tim Allen, also was pulled from its Sept. 21 release date because one of the film’s scenes involves an airport and a nuclear bomb.

The Latin Grammys have been canceled and will not be rescheduled. The awards show was supposed to air Tuesday evening.

Many fall TV pilots have been pushed back due to continuing media coverage on the major TV networks.

Some debut shows reportedly included bomb and hijack scenes. Those have been canceled.

Meanwhile, sets for MTV’s “Total Request Live,” based out of Times Square, remain closed.

Entertainment industry feels impact

Actress Berry Berenson was among the passengers on American Airlines Flight 11, which hit the north tower of the World Trade Center Tuesday morning. She was 53 years old.

At the time of the crash, Berenson worked as a photographer for Vogue and Life magazines.

In the past, Berenson had starred in late-’70s films such as “Remember My Name” and “Winter Kills.”

She had also worked as a model for Chanel.

Daniel Lee, a member of the Backstreet Boys’ road crew, was also aboard Flight 11.

The band held a memorial for victims and offered to give part of the proceeds from its next concert to the American Red Cross relief fund.
