Nicolas Cage plays real James Bond in 'Fortitude' trailer
Screenwriter Simon Afram says the theft of an unencrypted master copy forced sales and marketing to pause.
- Director Simon West released the trailer for Fortitude, a World War II espionage thriller depicting an elaborate Allied deception campaign designed to mislead Nazi Germany before D-Day.
- British Army officers Dudley Clarke and Thomas Argyll TAR Robertson orchestrated the historic plot with support from Winston Churchill and Ian Fleming, constructing a fictitious military force using fake tanks, aircraft, and ships to fool Nazi leadership.
- The 103-minute ensemble stars Nicolas Cage as Serbian double agent Dusko Popov, whose real-life exploits inspired Ian Fleming's James Bond novels, alongside Michael Sheen as Churchill and Art Malik as Fleming.
- In July, screenwriter Simon Afram filed a $105 million lawsuit against Netflix, alleging the company failed to protect an unencrypted master copy stolen from its Los Angeles office.
- Netflix disputes responsibility, arguing it does not bear risk for films delivered without industry-standard safeguards, while producers claim the theft forced a marketing pause and no theatrical release date has been announced.
