Topic: So when will we see a high budget Bitcoin movie? - page 2. (Read 428 times)
I don't really want them to make a bitcoin movie. Can you imagine how mainstream and shitty it would be? I bet you right now they will go on and on about crime drugs and the darknet and criminal underworld. So may regular people already see bitcoin as something dodgy die to ill education ignorance and laziness? Leave bitcoin to the supporters. Besides honestly how much fun can a movie about crypto possibly be? If it was based on an entire society based on crypto with firms and owners taking claims to different things in the form of coins instead of stocks and an actual working decentralized city. You don't pay tax sine you own a % of what you see around you instead ^^ You will later profit from it, unlike tax which only takes.
I also hope Hollywood can produce films about bitcoin that spend a high budget and also use actors or actresses well-known. It definitely
helps bitcoin to be increasingly recognized by everyone in the world. But don't raise negative themes about bitcoin, I want a film that tells
the story of bitcoin trading, bitcoin mining, and tells the story of the creator of bitcoin satoshi nakamoto too interesting to make a film.
Hopefully in the future there can be realized there is a film with a high budget that discusses bitcoin but not about crime.

I think it was natural since the bitcoin was not yet implemented in a lot of countries and to be honest not really so popular to a lot of people,
but since it was already recognized by a lot of countries and company I think it will soon going to happened it a movie about bitcoin or cryptocurrency or even blockchain.

If they ever figure out who Satoshi is, THEN we'll get the high-budget Hollywood movie, complete with the thrilling story about how bitcoin was launched and how the developers worked in secret and fought to keep their identities private and what happened to them when they saw bitcoin's price rise but didn't dare touch the coins for fear of being outed.
Otherwise, there isn't really much of a plotline!
i agree it will be hard to make a high budget movie without the creator for the plotlineOtherwise, there isn't really much of a plotline!
if bitcoin will have a movie someday i think it will be a fiction about future or time travel
if someone will make a movie about whales in bitcoin or deepweb and hacker that will not bring positive outcome
Read this article! This one gives a list of 10 bitcoin related movies and documentaries which we can watch. It's hard to find them in torrents. If someone has a copy of these movies, can place them in a google drive and share with the community!

For a high budget movie, we need crowdfunding! Otherwise no one is going to invest so much money in to a film just to showcase a currency system or how it is making the lives easier around the world! It is only possible if the crypto community crowdfunds its majority of the costs! Actually Thymos can start such initiative through this forum!

Why not just a purely fictional story of Satoshi Nakamoto? I don't know if this will work but it can be a story of life of Satoshi. The story could just be a multiple story of what story does Satoshi could possibly have... I don't know either if you understand what I want to say but that's it. Don't mind this part...
It would be really great if Bitcoin were used in a movie that shows it's positive side, not only the bad side. It's not about the budget I guess. It can be a high budget but still showing the bad side of Bitcoin. It won't still help bitcoin's adoption.
A lot of the films I've seen reviewed on the forum (there was one thread in particular that I'm thinking of) weren't in English, so I doubt I'd even have access to them even if I could get through them with subtitles.
You'd think bitcoin would be a great plot point or even just a McGuffin, but I haven't seen bitcoin even mentioned in any recent film--and I watch a lot of movies. Don't know why that is, but maybe it'll change someday. I have to think that bitcoin's young age, i.e., the fact that it's only been around for ten years, and it's relative lack of mainstream acceptance and understanding, contribute to it being absent from film.
It is a good thing that there have been low-budget movies about it, though. That's a start at least. And I'm at least happy that all those documentaries came out, because some of them were really good.

I think we newd to thank them for creating documentaries movie about bitcoin even the budget is very small the important with that is they are created a movie about bitcoin that help to it to become popular gets more investors to turn into higher value. Anyone can create a video about bitcoin with high budgets and that is really big help to bitcoin community I hope people who that is the people became millionaire because of bitcoin it's time to turn it back the benefits they got.
Not long ago i saw a movie related to bitcoins and it was shared on this forum also. 7 Days to Vegas is a gambling related comedy movie which does involve crypto currencies. This is a must watch if you like light comedy movies.
I have seen many bitcoin movies and shorts where it was talking about bad things and good things.
It is not about being bad or good but advertising for people to know more about them.
Does not need to have a high budget to become a good movie if you are asking about that.
It has just to represent bitcoin in a way most of the new people can see it's true cons and pros and potentials.
And be informative that bitcoin is not something to use without being worried about the scammers and bad things.

its okay if they put a disclaimer before the movie starts " saying that all event , characters , and story are all fictional " so that people will not assume that btc is bad in a real life .
its also normal that btc starts with low budgeted film or documentaries because this is where unpopular characters or actors also start but eventually after they become noticeable in the public , that is the start of thier fame and they are now being sponsored by big companies to create a high quality movie .

Yeah, speaking of high-budget (or at least, not low-budget) movies 'Crypto' comes to my mind. I haven't watched it, so I don't know whether it's against some cryptos or against Bitcoin, but judging by the trailer it's exactly the kind of movie you've described: that is, the one enforcing the stereotype that crypto is used by criminals. A movie distributed by Lionsgate and having Kurt Russell in the main cast got terrible reviews and was only released in 164 theaters. Unfortunately, it's impossible to find the info about the budget, but the movie looks like a complete disaster, fortunately.
spoilers
a guy that audits companies fiat accounts is hired to audit a company that is believed to be evading taxes in his old hometown. he meets up with old friends that mine bitcoin in a walk-in fridge at the back of a bar/pub. and ask that friend to help audit the company because it appears the company being audited is usng bitcoin to launder its money.
urns ut the laundering is linked to some shady blackmarket and hostages are taken and threats are made to stop investigating the company or else.
bit of action occurs, some people die some run around fearing their life including the auditors father(kurt russell) who was kidnapped.
i wont spoil the ending
Feels like I wanna download it already. But yes it portrait BTC being used by criminals which is why it doesn't help promote BTC. Can't say its political but its hard to promote crypto, the documentary which supposedly looks at cryptocurrency in every angle are sometimes purposely not mention the good sides.
If there is a high budget movie to be created, it should be directed by popular director at least probably involves big hollywood names and comedy genre as well. A netflix movie would be best so everyone has the time to check in on the upcoming movies.
I would personally like to see a movie trying to show how Bitcoin is created, what was the idea behind it and who is actually the person behind the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. I think there might be a very interesting story to tell, along with some good actors and some of the world's top directors the film could certainly contribute to the popularization of Bitcoin and portray it in a positive light.
But movies are mostly made for profit, there is actually very little art left in this industry. However, one day when Bitcoin is worth a lot more than it is today, I have no doubt that someone will make a high-budget movie.

Exactly what I would like to see.
- The conversations that has been had here on Bitcointalk
- The famous "if you don't believe it... I don't have the time to convince you" quote
- Satoshi going into hiding
- The S2X controversy
- the list goes on
I almost don't care if it becomes over dramatized(as long as it's not misleading) as most movies does this anyway, but I want to watch something that's going to bring a tear to my(and a lot of people here's) eyes. Definitely hope we get to see one in our lifetime.
Hollywood launched a film called "Crypto" this year with Kurt Russell and Luke Hemsworth as the main roles, we are quite familiar with their big names. But in general, still using conspiracy plots of crime which still tends to visualize misconceptions with crypto itself, if many large films position crypto only as a negative tool then it makes no difference to fud in my opinion. so far only documentaries have made the opposite and tend to be softer.
Don't even mention that shit. Crypto is not a bitcoin movie it just uses the name because it's catchy and not many people know what it is but they know it's that sophisticated shit they mention in the news about terrorists, black markets and such. Crypto is repeating mainstream lies about bitcoin and it's a shit movie even for the general audience.
The best part about it is the general audience did not get fooled. The movie was a box office failure making only 20k USD worldwide.

So far we have not yet, but I'd love to see a movie created by Warner Bros or Universal Pictures and stars big star like Keanu Reeves, but I want to be the story non fictional and dwells on the fact about Bitcoin and not something that people will think that Bitcoin is hard to understand and only for tech person, I hope to see this kind of movie soon.
Reading through the sub 2013 replies on this forum is much better quality time than a movie about Bitcoin can provide. How can you not have a good time reading through speculation threads where people thought that Bitcoin would rekt a lot of people having bought at $10 for example. 
I probably wouldn't watch a movie about Bitcoin because the trailer would suck so hard that I don't want to waste more time on it than I already have. We already know the main narratives of movies about crypto; pump n dump and dark nets. Having a higher budget doesn't change anything on that front.
Also, the average joe interest in such a movie highly depends on what cycle we're in. Good luck trying to get people to watch that movie during a bear market.

Yes it is deliberately plotted as a negative thing so people are affected and assume bitcoin is part of a crime. To be honest that is one of their ways to destroy bitcoin. But unfortunately films like that rarely get good ratings because most of the storylines are too complicated to watch for people.
Not all high budget movies put bitcoin on the criminal side, some of them are also promoting or saying something good about bitcoin. I can't remember the title of that particular movie but there's a fat guy that earns a fortune in bitcoin in that movie I completely forgot the title.
I cant remember any movie involving super stars from Hollywood. I am sure in near future Hollywood would release block bluster movie which can involve Bitcoin and crypto trading . However there are few documentaries already avaible on internet but I don't find them thrilling.
