The film – only released in April – stars Elba and Richard Madden and centres around a former CIA agent working on an anti-terrorist mission across France.

In eerie scenes similar to last night’s horrific events, there’s even footage of a van being driven at high speeds.

And in one poster for the movie, a van can be seen crushing oncoming traffic while the actor – famed for his role in BBC drama Luther – poses with a gun.

In Nice last night, 84 people were killed when a French-Tunisian driver smashed his way into a crowd celebrating France’s national day.

Twitter user Lois wrote: “So the movie Bastille Day centred on terrorism and now an actual terrorist attack is carried out on that same day. Now that’s creepy.”

Another user, known only as Rae, added: “How coincidental that a movie called Bastille Day about unveiling a terrorist plot got released three months ago.”

Travelling at about 40mph, the truck ploughed into pedestrians on the Promenade des Anglais seaside walk in the centre of Nice in France late last night.

At least 84 people have been killed, with many more injured, after the driver then alighted from the lorry and shot at crowds.

Reports say at least 10 of the dead are children, with 54 youngsters taken to hospital. Two died either during or after surgery.
