Film about the Paris terrorist attacks is in trouble because it closely resembles reality.

The film "Made in France" has been postponed for a second time, its poster has been withdrawn, and scenes depicting Islamic extremists firing in Paris may have to be re-edited.

Pretty Pictures announced: "Following the tragic events of the evening of November 13th, we and our co-producer Radar Films are further postponing the release of the film Made in France."

This is the second time the film's release date has been postponed. Produced in 2014, Made in France was originally scheduled to premiere in Europe earlier this year. However, distributors withdrew the film after the terrorist attack on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper in January. Pretty Pictures then pushed the new release date to November 18th. However, the tragic events of last Friday night caused another postponement, and the release date remains unknown.

From the moment the poster was released, the film attracted attention for featuring a stylized AK-47 rifle resembling the Eiffel Tower and the slogan: "The threat comes from within." Distributors have now had to remove this sensitive poster from bus stations, shopping malls, and the media. The president of Pretty Pictures stated that the film's distribution strategy will also change to avoid causing public sensitivity.

Scene from the film "Made in France".

Made in France is a thriller directed by Nicolas Boukhrief. The plot revolves around a journalist who infiltrates an extremist Islamic organization in the suburbs of Paris – a group that is recruiting members to organize terrorist attacks in the French capital.

The film premiered in the Midnight Screening category at the Busan Film Festival in October under the title Inside the Cell. Busan's film selectors wrote: "Filmed just months before the terrorist attack on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper in January, Inside the Cell's storyline is remarkably close to reality. This is a thrilling, daring investigative film that takes viewers inside the heart of an extremist Islamic organization – one that is growing in Western countries and could wage war at any moment."

Pretty Pictures is also considering editing the film, which contains scenes of Islamic extremists shooting at French police.

In the US, many films have been forced to abruptly postpone their release dates following violent events. In 2012, the film Gangster Squad withdrew trailers containing scenes of criminal gangs attacking theaters after a real-life gunman opened fire during a screening of The Dark Knight Rises.

In 2001, Warner Bros. had to postpone the release of Arnold Schwarzenegger's film Collateral Damage from October to February 2002 following the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Around the same time, Sony had to withdraw posters and teasers for the Spider-Man film that featured images of the Twin Towers.
