The release of a French film, which depicts the planning of a terror attack in Paris, has been cancelled in the aftermath of the real life atrocities in the city.

"Made in France" was due to be released in the country on November 18 and posters for the film show the Eiffel Tower in the shape of a machine gun, reported Time online.

The filmmakers, including director Nicolas Boukhrief, said in a statement, "Following the tragic events of (Friday) night, the distributor Pretty Pictures and producer Radar Films have immediately decided to postpone the release of the film to a later date."
 

The film was due to be released earlier this year, but was dropped after the Charlie Hebdo attack in January. Terrorists stormed the building of the satirical newspaper and opened fire during an editorial meeting, leaving 11 journalists dead and many wounded.
