Was it stolen by Nicolas Cage as part of the plot of the next National Treasure movie?

Ooh, ooh, Nick Cage as Charlie Kaufman writing and then stealing a National Treasure adaptation.
Would watch.

I'm not pro-Netflix, but not encrypting a high quality copy of your unreleased big budget movie is a bonehead move on the part of the producer.
My non legally binding judgement would be a couple of hundred against Netflix for the loss of the hard drive.

That was the judgement. Have you seen hardware prices lately? They are just paying for that 2tb disk.

According to the suit Netflix specifically requested it be decrypted, and said they'd handle it securely and destroy it once the viewing process was finished.

lmao I read "Movie" as "Movies" and for a brief moment believed the world was a much more exciting place

Is the lawsuit implying that anyone would watch that crap?

there are nicolas cage fans. some of them don't know he's a coppola and only took the stage name cage to seem more down to earth.

He did a great job in that all-white remake of The Color Purple
