Netflix sued for allegedly losing unreleased Nicolas Cage movie

A U.K.-based production company and filmmaker are suing Netflix for $105 million, claiming the streaming service lost a drive containing an unreleased espionage movie titled 'Fortitude.' The lawsuit alleges that Netflix's associate producer, Daniel Haido, handed over an unencrypted copy of the film for a potential sale, then instructed staff to delete the files after a screening. Over a week later, Netflix reportedly informed the filmmakers that the drive had been stolen. The film, which cost $45 million to produce and takes place during World War II, is claimed to have lost its exclusivity and marketability due to the incident. Netflix disputes the claims, stating it does not bear responsibility for films delivered without proper security measures and has offered to monitor piracy sites.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the lawsuit against Netflix as a legal dispute involving intellectual property and content security, without overtly favoring either side. While the issue involves corporate accountability and digital security, there is no clear ideological framing or emphasis on political or社会立
