Netflix 'lost' a movie with a famous star?! The production house is suing them for $105 million

A British production company and director have filed a $105 million lawsuit against Netflix, alleging that the streaming service lost a hard drive containing an unreleased war-themed movie titled 'Fortitude.' The lawsuit claims this loss has significantly damaged the commercial potential of the film. According to the complaint, the co-producer, Daniel Haido, delivered an unencrypted copy of the film to Netflix for review but was orally asked to delete it after viewing. Over a week later, a Netflix representative informed creators that the drive had been stolen. The film took over seven years to make at a cost of $45 million, featuring Nicolas Cage, Sir Ben Kingsley, and Ron Perlman. Plaintiffs argue that the loss of exclusivity has severely impacted the film’s market value. Netflix denies the allegations, stating they do not bear responsibility for the loss and have taken additional measures to support the director and team.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both sides of the dispute: the plaintiffs’ claim of significant financial loss due to data theft and Netflix’s denial of responsibility. There is no clear ideological framing or emphasis on political ideology. The focus remains on legal and business implications rather than any黨
