The bomb threat, which proved not to be credible, delayed the premiere by about 20 minutes.
Once authorities deemed the threat not credible, Lil Nas X joined documentary co-directors Carlos López Estrada and Zac Manuel on the red carpet at about 10:30 p.m. EDT, according to the entertainment news website.
“Our standard security measures remained in place during this time and the screening commenced with a slight delay,” Judy Lung, a spokesperson for TIFF, said in a statement. “To our knowledge, this was a general threat and not directed at the film or the artist.”in an email on Sunday that a passerby “uttered a threat” toward private security outside of the venue.
“Out of an abundance of caution, the Toronto Police and the private security swept the scene and cleared within 20 minutes,” Kwong wrote. “The threat was general and did not target any one person,” he said.
