The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating a Nicolas Cage movie that goes missing from Netflix, according to multiple reports. The film has been unaccounted for since last month, with some accounts describing it as missing for about two months.
The dispute is tied to a lawsuit filed by the film’s producer, Simon Afram, against Netflix. Afram seeks economic damages exceeding $100 million, with at least one outlet describing the demand as $105 million. Both outlets frame the LAPD investigation as separate from—though connected to—the legal claims over the disappearance.
While the outlets agree on the core facts—Netflix loses a Nicolas Cage movie, Afram sues for large economic damages, and the LAPD investigates—the reporting differs on the timeframe. One outlet specifies last month as the starting point, while another describes the film as missing for a longer, roughly two-month period.
