Producer sues Netflix for $105 million over missing Nicolas Cage movie

LOS ANGELES, July 30 : A movie producer is seeking $105 million in damages from Netflix after he says a copy of his unreleased Nicolas Cage movie was stolen from the streaming service's studios in Hollywood.Attorneys for producer Simon Afram said in a lawsuit filed on Wednesday in California that the filmmakers had delivered an unencrypted master copy of the World War II drama "Fortitude" to Netflix in June at the company's request. Afram invested more than $45 million in the production, which took seven years to complete, and he was in the process of trying to sell the movie to Netflix or another distributor.Nine days later, the plaintiffs were informed via a Netflix email that "someone stole a good amount of drives from our desks this past week," including the one containing "Fortitude,"
