Summary
- Gal Gadot and Isla Fisher join Casey Affleck and Pete Davidson in a new thriller.
- The film centers on computer scientist Craig Wright's claim to be Bitcoin's creator.
- It involves a global race and high stakes for the world's financial system.
Gal Gadot and Isla Fisher have joined the cast of Doug Liman's upcoming thriller, "Bitcoin." They will star alongside Casey Affleck, who plays computer scientist Craig Wright, and Pete Davidson, as blockchain investor Calvin Ayre. The film, previously known as "Killing Satoshi," is officially titled "Bitcoin" and is based on the true story of Wright's quest to prove he is the creator of Bitcoin.
Wright's claim to be the identity behind Satoshi Nakamoto has been widely disputed. A British High Court ruling in 2024 stated that Wright is not Nakamoto and must cease his assertions. The synopsis suggests the film will explore how this claim puts Wright's life in danger and triggers a global firestorm, involving powerful figures in the tech and financial worlds.
The production began in February and promises a gripping narrative set within the high-stakes world of cryptocurrency. There was prior attention drawn to the film due to a casting notice that mentioned the potential use of AI in performance adjustments, utilizing advanced Al technologies on a markerless performative capture stage.
