Today I’ve an amazing news to share that is Hollywood is about to cash in on cryptocurrency.
The project, named Crypto, focuses on a a federal agent who returns to his home town in New York to investigate a case of corruption and fraud. Once there, the agent finds himself in a dangerous underworld populated by a mysterious art dealer, a crypto mafia turned, cyber-sleuth, and a corrupt accountant doing the bidding of ruthless clients.
The project’s is comparable to The Firm and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Based on the description alone, the film sounds dreadful. Think Sharknado sequel, but one that centers around an upstart cryptocurrency project called Shark Coin.
It’s certainly not the first Hollywood project in the cryptocurrency
First was the mile-a-minute thriller Bitcoin Heist, a Vietnamese production with a 20 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I also don’t know if twas really a mile-a-minute, but IMDB tells me it is indeed a thriller. So, take that with a grain of salt.
If that’s the bar in the cryptocurrency movie space, I like Crypto’s chances
Folks that were waiting for a movie that actually has a chance (while also featuring some cryptocurrency), you’re in luck. The Coen brothers are reportedly working on a project about Silk Road, the infamous drug marketplace that catapulted cryptocurrencies into the mainstream.
