Hollywood makes a film about Bitcoin: "Killing Satoshi" will feature Casey Affleck and Pete Davidson

#Hollywood is producing a feature film about the world of cryptocurrency titled "Killing Satoshi," directed by Doug Liman, famous for his work on "The Bourne Identity." The film stars Oscar-winning actor Casey Affleck and Pete Davidson, and is set to be released in 2026.

Content and Meaning

The film's script, written by Nick Schenk ("Gran Torino"), will focus on a thrilling story that explores the secrets of the identity of #SatoshiNakamoto , the creator of Bitcoin. The film tells the story of an elite group’s efforts to prevent the truth from being revealed. According to director Liman, the film is a "David and Goliath" story, where reluctant anti-heroes confront the most powerful people on the planet, aiming to decode the nature of currency and the power to control it.

Production Goals

Producer Ryan Kavanaugh stated that "Killing Satoshi" is not only about #bitcoin and its mysterious origins, but also about the greater meanings behind it. He compares this film to "The Social Network," a work that successfully tapped into the story of Facebook's inception. With production starting in October in London, the film promises to bring the story of Bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto to a global audience.
