Doug Liman’s feature film Bitcoin, formerly known as Killing Satoshi, has a new media angle after its Cannes-market push. The latest update is not a trailer, distributor, or release date, but a story-content detail: new May 22 coverage says the film will include satirical, AI-enhanced versions of major public figures from technology, politics, and business. (ComingSoon)

According to the latest coverage, the film is expected to feature versions of Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Eric Trump, with those figures portrayed by actors and enhanced through AI. The same report says Zuckerberg may have the largest speaking presence among those figures, while Elon Musk may also be referenced. (ComingSoon)

The update sharpens the film’s identity. Bitcoin is no longer being discussed only as a Satoshi/Craig Wright thriller or as an AI-production experiment. It is now being framed more clearly as a satirical, high-profile story about power, technology, money, and the people surrounding the Bitcoin origin myth. (ComingSoon)

The core project profile remains unchanged. Casey Affleck plays Craig Wright, while Pete Davidson is reported as playing Calvin Ayre. Gal Gadot is reported as playing Charlotte “Lotte” Miller, with Isla Fisher also among the cast. The film is produced through Ryan Kavanaugh’s Proxima, with the AI work tied to ACME AI and Doug Liman’s PECAN performance-capture process. (ComingSoon)

The Cannes-market context also remains important. The Marché du Film ran from May 12–20, 2026, and earlier Cannes coverage said Bitcoin had drawn curious buyers around the market while ACME AI’s production technology attracted attention from other producers. (Marché du Film)

What has not changed is just as important. The latest May 22 coverage still says Bitcoin has no release date, and there is still no public confirmation in the latest visible reporting of a distributor deal, trailer, streaming partner, or festival premiere slot. (ComingSoon)

BSV TIMES editorial read

The latest update gives Bitcoin a stronger media hook. The film is moving beyond the basic question of “Who is Satoshi?” and into a more theatrical version of the Bitcoin story — one involving public power figures, AI-enhanced satire, and a global technology-and-money frame. That may make the film more controversial, but also more visible.

BSV TIMES takeaway

Bitcoin still has no confirmed release plan, but the project now has a clearer public shape: a Cannes-market AI film, a Satoshi/Craig Wright thriller, and a satirical media event built around some of the most recognizable names in modern technology and politics.
