A Bitcoin-themed film titled 'Bitcoin' has entered post-production with a production budget of approximately $70 million, according to Bitcoin.com. Directed by Doug Liman, known for 'The Bourne Identity,' the movie features a star-studded cast including Gal Gadot, Casey Affleck, Pete Davidson, and Isla Fisher. In the film, Casey Affleck portrays Craig Wright, the Australian computer scientist who claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto, while Pete Davidson plays Calvin Ayre, a business associate and supporter of Wright. Notably, some scenes and lighting are generated using AI technology. The film has yet to secure a major U.S. distributor or set a specific release date. Critics have speculated that the movie may be inclined to portray Wright as the true creator of Bitcoin, but the production team has not confirmed this narrative. The project reflects the growing intersection of cryptocurrency culture and mainstream cinema.
Bitcoin.com says the Bitcoin-themed film 'Bitcoin' is now in post-production, and the budget sits at about $70 million. Doug Liman is directing it — the same Doug Liman best known for 'The Bourne Identity.' The cast is loaded: Gal Gadot, Casey Affleck, Pete Davidson, and Isla Fisher.
In the movie, Casey Affleck is set to play Craig Wright, the Australian computer scientist who says he is Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin’s creator. Pete Davidson takes the role of Calvin Ayre, a well-known backer of Wright. And the production team says some scenes and lighting effects were created with artificial intelligence.
Right now, the film still does not have a major U.S. distributor, and there is no specific release date yet. But some critics have argued the movie could lean toward presenting Wright as the real Satoshi Nakamoto. The producers, though, have not confirmed that storyline.
