The Wednesday theatrical release of Made in France, from director Nicholas Boukhrief, has been canceled following the Friday night attacks in Paris. It is about a French Muslim journalist, who infiltrates a Jihadi cell in Paris to find out about a terror plot in the French capital. The movie was scheduled to open in on about 100 screens. The filmmakers said;
“Following the tragic events of last night, the distributor Pretty Pictures and producer Radar Films have immediately decided to postpone the release of the film to a later date.”
Paris transport authority, RATP, was removing the film’s provacative posters, which show the Eiffel Tower as an assault rifle, for the film from metro stations early this morning.
The movie was originally set for release early in the year. Distributor SND Films dropped the project after the Charlie Hebdo attack.
Also, the French premiere and press events for Natalie Portman’s Jane Got a Gun were cancelled today. Portman has previously expressed caution about living in Paris following the Charlie Hebdo terror attacks in January. Portman has said she was nervous about being Jewish living in Paris. She moved to the city earlier this year as her husband Benjamin Millepied took over the top position at the Paris Opera Ballet. (via Hollywood Reporter)
