Director Doug Liman, known for the films "The Bourne Identity" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", has begun work on the film "Killing Satoshi". The main roles will be played by Casey Affleck and Pete Davidson, and details about the characters are still being kept secret. Liman emphasized that the film is not just about Bitcoin, but about the global struggle for power and influence through money.
"I have always been attracted to stories of David and Goliath. In "Killing Satoshi", unusual heroes face powerful forces of the world in an epic struggle that touches on the very essence of the financial system," the director said.
According to the creators, the film will resemble "The Social Network", where real events and global intrigues are revealed through a dramatic narrative. The plot combines political machinations, high-tech espionage, and a race against time as global powers — from governments to Wall Street and Silicon Valley players — fight for control of cryptocurrency.
The film is being produced by the British company Production Lens. Interestingly, the topic of Satoshi Nakamoto was already raised in the HBO documentary Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery, released in October 2024. In it, the identity of the creator of Bitcoin was attributed to programmer Peter Todd, who denied this information and spoke about the risks to his security after the release of the film.
In addition, in September 2024, the Optimist studio released a film about the Ethereum cryptocurrency and its founder Vitalik Buterin. These projects show Hollywood's growing interest in the world of digital currencies and the mysterious figures behind them.
Killing Satoshi promises to be a classic Hollywood thriller with elements of political intrigue and dynamic action, revealing the history of the emergence of the first cryptocurrency through the prism of an exciting storyline.
The project is already generating great interest among fans of the genre and cryptocurrency enthusiasts, because the combination of real historical facts and fiction promises to create a unique look at the world of digital finance and global confrontations.
The film is scheduled for release in the coming years, and the audience is eagerly awaiting how Hollywood will reflect the mystery of the creator of Bitcoin on the big screen.
