Doug Liman, director of the iconic film 'The Bourne Identity,' is preparing a new thriller titled 'Killing Satoshi' featuring Casey Affleck and Pete Davidson.
Plot and Concept
The film 'Killing Satoshi' will focus on the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. The script, written by Nick Schenk, tells the story of a powerful group trying to hide Nakamoto's identity. Liman describes the film as a David-and-Goliath story where antiheroes fight against powerful global forces.
Production Details and Key Figures
The project includes producer Ryan Kavanaugh, known for his work on films like 'The Social Network.' The production company Lens, founded by Kavanaugh, Lawrence Grey, and Garret Grant, will oversee the project. Kavanaugh, a cryptocurrency advocate, is fully funding the film through his companies Proxima and Aperture Media Partners. Filming is set to begin in October in London, with a planned release in 2026.
Satoshi Nakamoto: Myth and Reality
Satoshi Nakamoto, whose identity remains unconfirmed, is considered one of the richest individuals worldwide due to approximately 1 million mined Bitcoins. In July, his net worth reached $133 billion, making him the 11th richest person on the planet. However, his associated wallet has remained inactive since early test transactions.
The upcoming film 'Killing Satoshi' is set to be an intriguing exploration not only of Nakamoto's figure but also of Bitcoin's impact on the global economy.
