Welcome back. A UK-based production company and a filmmaker are suing Netflix for over $100 million. They claim the company lost a master copy of an unreleased Nicolas Cage movie. In the complaint filed Wednesday, the companies allege they hand-delivered the master copy to Netflix to screen its potential and screen its potential buyer. But Netflix allegedly later emailed to say the drive had been stolen. The plaintiffs argue other studios could be dissuaded from purchasing the movie rights if a version is released by an unknown party. In a statement, Netflix says, you know who can find this?

We're going to steal the-- no. In a real statement, Netflix says, quote, "Disputes any claim that it bears a risk of loss for a film delivered without the proper industry standard safeguards."
