一家英国制片公司和一名制片人起诉网飞索赔1.05亿美元,指控这家流媒体公司丢失了内含一部未上映谍战电影拷贝的硬盘,并称这损害了该片的商业前景。
这起于周三向加州地区法院提起的诉讼称,该片的联合制片人丹尼尔·海多亲手将未加密的电影母版交给网飞,以便该公司作为潜在买家进行审片。根据诉状,海多曾口头要求该员工在审片后删除文件。
原告方称,审片结束仅一周多后,网飞就通过电子邮件告知制片方硬盘被盗。
根据诉状,网飞一名高管在邮件中写道:“过去一周有人从我们办公室的桌子上偷走了不少硬盘。”
诉状中提到,这部名为《坚毅》(Fortitude)的电影耗时七年多制作,成本达4500万美元。影片讲述了二战期间代号为“坚毅行动”的秘密任务,该行动旨在误导纳粹德军关于盟军欧洲登陆计划的判断。
该片由尼古拉斯·凯奇饰演真实存在的二战间谍杜什科·波波夫,本·金斯利爵士和朗·普尔曼也参演其中。
原告方表示,如今制片厂都会不愿购买该片版权,因为担心第三方可能会免费发布该影片的拷贝。

“这部电影的价值在很大程度上取决于其作为未上映的首推作品的独家性,”诉状中写道。“网飞失去了对该片的控制权,破坏了这种独家性,即便没有完全毁掉,也严重损害了该片的市场价值。”
网飞一名发言人表示,该公司“对有关其需为未按行业标准安全措施交付的电影承担损失风险的任何主张提出异议”。网飞已提出会监控盗版网站上该电影的未经授权分发或售卖情况。
“虽然我们并不拥有《坚毅》的版权,但我们重视内容安全,并已采取额外措施支持这位制片人及其团队,”该发言人在给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的声明中说道。

Netflix sued for $105 million for allegedly losing “master copy” of unreleased Nicolas Cage movie

A U.K.-based production company and a filmmaker are suing Netflix for $105 million, alleging the streaming company lost a drive containing a copy of an unreleased espionage movie, which they claim undermined its commercial prospects.
The complaint filed on Wednesday in California district court alleges that the film’s associate producer, Daniel Haido, hand-delivered an unencrypted master copy of the film to Netflix so the company could screen it as a potential buyer. Haido verbally instructed the employee to delete the files after the screening, according to the suit.
A little over a week after the screening, Netflix emailed the filmmakers to say the drive had been stolen, the plaintiffs allege.
“Someone stole a good amount of drives from our office desks this past week,” a Netflix executive wrote in the email, according to the suit.
The complaint notes the movie, entitled “Fortitude,” took over seven years to make and cost $45 million. It tells the story of a secret mission called Operation Fortitude during World War II that was orchestrated to mislead the Nazis about the Allied invasion of Europe.
The film stars Nicolas Cage as Dusko Popov, a real-life spy during World War II, as well as Sir Ben Kingsley and Ron Perlman.
The plaintiffs said studios will now be dissuaded from buying the rights to the movie, knowing that a version of it could be released by a third party for free.

“The film’s value depended in significant part on its exclusivity as an unreleased, first-to-market work,” the complaint states. “By losing control of the film, Netflix destroyed that exclusivity and materially, if not completely, impaired the film’s marketability.”
A Netflix spokesperson said the company “disputes any claim that it bears the risk of loss for a film delivered without the proper industry-standard safeguards.” Netflix has offered to monitor piracy sites for unauthorized distribution or sale of the movie.
“While we do not own the rights to Fortitude, we take content security seriously and have taken extra measures to support the filmmaker and his team,” the spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News.
