After the Silk Road bust, I kept telling my cousin that, if they ever made a Silk Road movie, he should play the lead. Not only is he an actor, but he looks a LOT like Ross Ulbricht.

Well, now that a movie is in the works, I'm wondering if there's a chance my cousin might be able to audition for the roll. Not that any of you are the casting agent for the project, but here are a couple of comparison pics (I grabbed the photos from my cousin from his FB page). Do you see the resemblance?

maybe they will focus in on the murder-for-hire thing.... that could make for a story.

I'm looking forward to all the scenes of Ross mashing the keyboard in the library: coding, talking on the forums, establishing his DPR persona. What a gold mine, this movie script! Roll Eyes

Everyone seems to be pretty negative about this, I honestly think it'll make a very interesting movie; can't wait! Hopefully it goes through.

A guy behind a computer scripting and messaging, yeah that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Oh shit! Here comes an IF statement! *POW!*

Oh damn! Someone submitted a bug report! *WHAM!*

Moving from Texas to California! *UHAUL!*

Oh no! Forum drama! *TROLL!*

Oh crap! The fuzz! *OPEN DOOR*

The tension! They're about to arrest him! *LIBRARYYYYYYY!* -- Shhhhhhh!!!! -- *sorry*

Phewh! What a ride!

Personally, I fully expect them to totally screw up the whole "how computers and bitcoin works" thing. I doubt it will be as bad as Hackers, or how NCIS does it, but still.

I don't think anybody is going to watch a movie about some computer nerd who sets up a website, then gets arrested.

There a lot of audience for that market. As Big Bang Theory is a big hit as well. You know how many nerds we have nowadays?

hehe, gotta second this...... i have no idea how to make that into a movie, let alone an interesting movie. cool to see a movie involving bitcoin though!

Come on guys! At least read the thread.

Come on guys have some imagination. Of course he meets with all the drug lords in person. Get's roughed up a couple of times. Goes to Colombia and spits in the face of one of the great Kingpin's there, makes fund of their computer illiteracy etcetera etcetera. I'm beginning to see why the script writers get paid so much. To me, these crappy plots which the general public seems to love, write themselves.

How do you think it will make bitcoin look? (if they don't cut it out entirely, anyway)

I actually think it'll make for a terribly uninteresting plot, but I've been wrong about that sort of thing before.

they'll make out he hired lots of hitmen and had very poor personal hygiene/morals

or else it won't get made at all.

the nsa/cia/fbi will be shown as heroes.

i have a perfect ending for the movie: It ends with the original DPR still sitting in the Caribbean somewhere with a laptop sipping on some cocktails setting up the new SR 2.0

Then the dream sequence fades away and we're brought back to reality, where he's currently getting raped.

Don't forget I came up first with the idea on the society and Po section

Silk Road - The End?

The sad thing is this story belongs in part to the bitcointalk community. This movie should be made by artists and talents supporting bitcoin, payed in bitcoins. No need for exclusive rights, make it open and worldwide for its financial capital. Make the whole movie open source. Make it suspenseful and fun and tragic and sad.

Who remember War games? That movie was about a computer playing game.. what a stupid idea. But this movie is a classic. It did not cost millions and millions and now we have access to amazing tools a fraction of the price it uses to cost.

I like the part about the exclusive rights for the silk road story.. Wow! Exclusive right to make a movie about a story directly linked with bitcoin.

I know it will not happen : a movie payed in bitcoin and open source like what the blender foundation does with their movie is too crazy of an idea for this community. I just wish this would be our baby and not another Hollywood's unloved tax write off bastard.
