Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…A defamation claim has been added to the legal case of a stolen Nicolas Cage film against Netflix, TheWrap has learned.
The defamation claim came into play Tuesday over a statement Netflix made to media after the lawsuit went public.
“In fact, Mr. Afram and his counsel made no immediate demand for payment for the lost Film,” the amended lawsuit reads.
Netflix responded on June 30, 2026, refusing to cooperate with Plaintiffs’ requests for information about the theft and a meeting with Netflix.
Afram’s team went on to claim that Netflix refused to assist by sharing information on the theft on June 30.
