['Trevor Mogg']
BGR - Industry-Leading Insights In Tech And Entertainment
Netflix has been sued over the apparent theft of a hard drive containing an unreleased movie called "Fortitude" starring Nicolas Cage, most recently seen in Spider-Noir.
A producer for "Fortitude" is said to have delivered an unencrypted DCP (Digital Cinema Package) to Netflix with instructions to delete the files after the screening.
This didn't happen and it wasn't until 10 days later that Netflix notified the film team of the theft, which included multiple hard drives.
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix notes that it "disputes any claim that it bears the risk of loss for a film delivered without the proper industry-standard safeguards."
The streamer says it is carrying out an investigation and monitoring piracy sites for any leaked or resold copies of "Fortitude".
