Gal Gadot ("Wonder Woman") and Isla Fisher ("Now You See Me: Now You Don't") have joined the cast of the upcoming thriller "Bitcoin" directed by Doug Liman ("The Bourne Identity") from a script by WGA award winner Nick Schenk ("Gran Torino"). Sales on the film are being launched ahead of the Cannes market by Patrick Wachsberger's 193. Production began at the end of February.
The film is the true story of one man's quest to prove that he is, in fact, the creator of Bitcoin — a claim that puts his life in peril and sets off a global firestorm and a wild, high-stakes race between the who's who of tech billionaires and world leaders, with the fate of the world’s entire financial system hanging in the balance, all leading to the question, "Why do the world's most powerful people want to erase one man, and why would they spend hundreds of millions of dollars to do it?".
Casey Affleck stars as computer scientist Craig Wright, alongside Pete Davidson, who plays blockchain investor Calvin Ayre. Gal Gadot will star as Charlotte "Lotte" Miller. Australian computer scientist and businessman Wright has publicly claimed to be the main part of the team that created the billion dollar business bitcoin, and the identity behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. The claims have been regarded as false by many in the cryptocurrency community and in 2024 the British High Court ruled that Wright is not Nakamoto and must stop saying so.
Producers include Ryan Kavanaugh and Lawrence Grey. Wachsberger said the following: "This is an exciting and gripping story, set in the mysterious and high-stakes real world of crypto. It is brought to life by the brilliant Doug Liman, with whom I am thrilled to reunite after our success with Mr. & Mrs. Smith, alongside an incredible team of talent and producers. We can't wait to share some of the exciting and inventive footage of Bitcoin with our international partners in Cannes".
