Netflix is being sued for $105 million after it allegedly lost the only copy of an unreleased Nicolas Cage film, *The Carpenter’s Son*. The case highlights the risks of relying on a single physical master for an unfinished production and could delay or prevent the film’s release.

The lawsuit was reportedly filed by the film’s producers, who say Netflix misplaced the material while handling post-production. *The Carpenter’s Son*, directed by Lotfy Nathan and also featuring FKA twigs, is a biblical horror story about Jesus’s childhood; the claimed damages reflect the alleged value of the lost footage and related production costs.
