There is no doubt that Kurt Russell is one of Hollywood’s biggest actors to date. Now, he is expected to star in an indie movie that features cryptocurrencies. This is definitely an interesting film for all crypto lovers out there.

The film’s title does not shy away from its gist, as it is titled “Crypto.” Apart from Russell, the upcoming film will feature prominent stars such as Alexis Bledel, Jeremie Harris, and Luke Hemsworth, among many others. It is worth noting that the movie will heavily focus on a young anti-money laundering agent, played by Beau Knapp, who returns to his beloved hometown in New York. He is poised to investigate a case about corruption and fraud. Russell, on the other hand, will play the father of Knapp’s character.

“Crypto’s” producers deem the forthcoming movie “a thriller in the vein of The Firm and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.” Of course, the only difference is that the movie will revolve around cryptocurrency. The film is written by Carlyle Eubank and David Frigerio.

According to one of the producers of the movie, there is a reason why they decided to focus on the digital currency. He suggests that cryptocurrency has strongly “captured the attention and imagination” of many individuals as well as entrepreneurs across the globe. And considering that it has never been explored in any existing film of today, it is an opportunity for them to do it. The rise of the digital asset will be featured in “a nuanced and exciting way” in the movie.

Filming Has Begun

“Crypto” has already started filming in New York, but there has yet to be a released date. It is expected to be one of the most high-profile movies to date to heavily focus on the world of cryptocurrencies. Last year, it was reported that the Coen brothers – the filmmakers behind films like “No Country For Old Men” and “The Big Lebowski” – were already working on a film about the Silk Road. The latter is basically today’s now defunct market that utilized Bitcoin as its primary currency.

“Crypto,” however, is quite far from the first film to ever hone in a cryptocurrency setting. Perhaps one of the most notable and unusual forays in this area is the infamous Bitcoin Heist. It is a Vietnamese film that revolved around an international, high-stakes manhunt.
