Hollywood Takes Aim at Bitcoin's History in $70 Million Movie

A $70 million movie is set to tell the story of Bitcoin's origins, and it's not going down well in the crypto community.

The film, directed by Doug Liman, stars Gal Gadot as a journalist investigating Craig Wright, who claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin's creator. However, a British court ruled that Wright had committed document forgery in 2024, discrediting his claim.

Craig Wright has long been a contentious figure in the crypto world, and this movie is no exception. The film presents Wright as a misunderstood genius chased by tech billionaires and hostile governments. Calvin Ayre, Wright's financial backer, helped fund the movie, further fueling controversy.

Gal Gadot defended the use of artificial intelligence on set, stating that it was essential to the project's success. However, some in the community are worried about the potential impact of this film on Bitcoin's reputation and history.
