Update: Louis CK’s upcoming film will not be released by distributor
After being dropped by his agents and television networks, Louis CK has had his upcoming film dropped.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, distribution company Orchards will not be moving forward with plans to release Louis CK's upcoming movie.
The movie, titled I Love You, Daddy, follows the story of a relationship between a seventeen-year-old and a man in his late sixties, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival.
The move came after CK admitted to committing sexual misconduct against as many as five women.
The women alleged that the comedian masturbated in front of them against their will.
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Orchard confirmed that it 'will not be moving forward with the release.'
Am I the only one that sees the irony between the plot of Louis C.K.'s upcoming film "I love you Daddy" and the sexual allegations against many hollywood actors & producers? The film is about his 17-yr old daughter falling in love w/ a 68-yr old film maker. #SMH #NobodyisSafe

The film was due out on November 17 in selected theatres.
'There is never a place for the behaviour detailed in these allegations,' the company said, confirming that the move was made due to CK's behaviour.
The premier of the movie in NYC was cancelled due to the allegations.
