Bitcoin Heist: The Full Length Crypto-Themed Film

A new full-length cryptocurrency feature film is coming to Vietnam in 2016 called “Bitcoin Heist.” The movie starring Suboi, Kate Nhung, Thanh Pham, and Petey Majik Nguyen is a tech-based thriller with an ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ twist. Written by Ham Tran the director of the award-winning “Journey from the Fall” the film creates a planned heist with a futuristic digital touch. 

The teaser released on December 1st revealed an action packed movie filled with fighting and QR codes. ‘Bitcoin Heist’ shows a team of crooks together on a mission to catch a kingpin through the streets, clubs and financial centers of Saigon. The clips show multiple Bitcoin transactions throughout with fancy gadgets and ambient fluorescent lights. Special agent Dada has to form a group of quirky criminals to help find Interpol’s most wanted individual and each person has a particular talent. There’s a trickster, hacker, forger, cat burglar and an inside man all on a mission to find the criminal mastermind.

One of the lead characters Suboi, the critically acclaimed rap star from Saigon plays the hacker and tells Anyarena that she was excited about her role. The hip-hop queen who Anyarena says “switches flows between English and Vietnamese” also can play the part of a qualified programmer. The musician/actress says: “It’ll be really fun, but I can’t give away any more than that.” The action comedy shows the entire group combatting twists and turns the whole way. ‘Bitcoin Heist’ seems to have some decent amount of special effects and quite a bit of technological influence throughout. Lots of stunts and virtual reality with some humor on the side sends this heist-movie into a rollercoaster of energy.

It will be the first time, where Bitcoin would be center stage and not some quick reference in a TV series or movie. I hope this movie will be sub-titled and distributed to other countries too. It would be even better, if we could get it on Netflix. In time, we might see Bitcoin being used for good things, not just criminal activities. A Bitcoin comedy would top the charts.

Hope to see it soon. ^hmf^
