制片方针对洛杉矶一起硬盘被盗事件向Netflix提起诉讼，索赔1.05亿美元[1]。被盗硬盘中包含尼古拉斯·凯奇主演、预算4500万美元的二战谍报片《Fortitude》的未发行版本副本[1]。制片方声称Netflix未能采取行业标准安全措施，导致影片国际发行和奖项宣传活动受到阻碍[1]。
Netflix在回应中表示："我们不拥有《Fortitude》的版权，我们认真对待内容安全问题。"[1]Netflix于6月收到该片副本，是在制片方要求删除文件后才收到的[1]。制片方指控Netflix未向他们披露警方报告信息，并拒绝了请求洛杉矶警察局介入调查的要求[1]。该影片由导演西蒙·韦斯特执导，他曾执导过《古墓丽影》和《将军的女儿》等作品[1]。这个项目源自马丁·斯科塞斯曾经参与的开发项目[1]。
The streaming platform faces a lawsuit seeking $105 million in damages following the theft of a hard drive from its Los Angeles office [1]. The stolen device contained an unreleased copy of "Fortitude," a World War II espionage thriller starring Nicolas Cage with a production budget of $45 million [1]. The filmmakers allege that Netflix failed to implement industry-standard security protocols, which resulted in the film's international distribution and awards campaign being derailed [1].
According to the producers, Netflix received the film's copy in June and only returned it after being requested to delete the files [1]. The filmmakers have accused Netflix of refusing to disclose police reports related to the theft and rejecting requests for Los Angeles Police Department intervention [1]. Netflix responded to the allegations by stating, "We do not own the rights to Fortitude, we take content security seriously" [1].
The film is directed by Simon West, known for helming "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" and "The General's Daughter" [1]. The project originated from development work previously involving filmmaker Martin Scorsese [1].
