A film about a wave of jihadist attacks on Paris due out Wednesday has been pulled from cinemas, with the release of a string of others also touching on terrorism now being questioned, AFP reports.
"Made in France", about a series of simultaneous attacks on the French capital, had already been dropped by distributors in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo and kosher supermarket shootings in January. The plot of the thriller has eerie parallels with reality, with an extremist cell planning a series of shootings and bombings across Paris "that will shake France" and the world.
"We are at war," their leader says, in a chilling counterpoint to President Francois Hollande's words to parliament on Monday.
The film's producers ordered the posters be taken down from the city's metro system the morning after the attacks but insisted Tuesday it would be wrong if this "brilliant picture" was never shown in cinemas.
