Bitcoin Movie 'Bitcoin' Enters Post-Production with $70M Budget, Casts Casey Affleck as Craig Wright
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.
