Afram's legal representative says the film "Fortitude" will now be unsellable because it could appear for free on illegal sites. Afram is demanding $105 million from Netflix, which he says is responsible for the film being stolen, The Hollywood Reporter reports.

Netflix, for its part, claims that the company is not to blame for the incident, as Afram allegedly submitted the film on an unencrypted and non-password-protected hard drive.

The film, which Afram himself wrote and invested $45 million in, took seven years to produce.
