A film producer has filed a lawsuit against Netflix claiming the streaming company lost a copy of an unreleased Nicolas Cage movie. According to reports, the producer argues that the missing master copy diminishes the film’s commercial value and increases the risk of piracy. The Los Angeles Times and Channel NewsAsia both describe the dispute as related to an unreleased title tied to Nicolas Cage, with the producer alleging Netflix is responsible for misplacing or failing to safeguard the materials. Channel NewsAsia reports a $105 million claim, while the Los Angeles Times focuses on the producer’s allegations that the loss may harm the film’s value and lead to unauthorized distribution. The lawsuit therefore centers on control and custody of the film materials while the project is still unreleased, and it seeks damages based on the purported financial and security impacts. Netflix has not been described in the provided summaries as conceding wrongdoing.
