Current Status

The film is now deep into post-production, reported as ~30 weeks in by mid-May, involving dozens of AI technicians/artists (around 55 mentioned) building the entire visual world. No trailer or release date has been announced yet.
• Title & Production Model: Officially Bitcoin (formerly Killing Satoshi). Pioneering heavy AI use for backgrounds, lighting, environments, and some performance enhancements across 200+ global locations. Budget held at ~$70M (vs. potential $200-300M traditionally). Directed by Doug Liman, written by Nick Schenk.

Recent Media Highlights (May–June 2026)

• Set & AI Coverage: TheWrap and others reported on visits to the “gray box” set, highlighting the innovative (and controversial) markerless performance capture approach. Discussions continue on Hollywood’s AI debate—efficiency vs. job impacts.
• Notable Elements: AI-enhanced portrayals of figures like Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Eric Trump. Cast includes Casey Affleck (Craig Wright), Pete Davidson (Calvin Ayre), Gal Gadot (Charlotte “Lotte” Miller), Isla Fisher, and Finlay Robertson.

BSV Community Sentiment

BSV circles remain excited, viewing it as a high-profile vehicle that could mainstream aspects of the Craig Wright/Satoshi narrative, Calvin Ayre’s involvement, and related events. Recent X chatter ties it to broader education on BSV themes, with some projecting a potential Summer 2027 theatrical window.

No major distributor announcements, trailer drops, or new casting news in the past few days (as of June 13). Coverage remains focused on the AI production innovation and the film’s crypto-conspiracy angle. Watch Deadline, Variety, TheWrap, and BSV-focused outlets for the next milestones—likely more post-production updates or sales progress in coming weeks.
