Idris Elba approves of Bastille Day being pulled from French cinemas
The film opened in French cinemas the day before the Nice terror attacks that left 84 dead.
British actor Idris Elba has said that he agrees with Studiocanal's decision to pull Bastille Day from French cinemas in light of the Nice attack.
Starring Elba, Bastille Day had opened in French cinemas the day before the terror attack that left 84 dead.
Elba has stated in an interview with Complex magazine that he supports the decision.
"Of course it's called Bastille Day, and it's a film that tackles violence on that particular day. So I suspect the filmmakers were like, 'This doesn't feel right to have out there. It's insensitive" he said.
