Netflix sued for $105M after allegedly losing an unreleased Nicolas Cage WWII film
Netflix is facing a staggering $105 million lawsuit after an unreleased copy of a WWII thriller starring Nicolas Cage and Ben Kingsley allegedly vanished from its offices. The suit, first reported by Variety, was filed by producer Simon Afram, who claims to have spent seven years and $45 million making the film 'Fortitude'.
According to the lawsuit, Netflix lost an unencrypted copy of the movie from its Los Angeles facility. The producer is seeking the hefty sum in damages, alleging the loss is a devastating blow to the project.
The case paints a picture of Hollywood chaos: a major streamer, a missing movie starring an A-list actor, and a producer's years of work potentially down the drain. Netflix has not yet publicly commented on the allegations.
