it came on Simpsons as a small note but getting a movie for it is too difficult (maybe a documentary but a Hollywood movie?). there might be a movie closely related to BTC's though, The SilkRoad one  :o

I dont know about bitcoin appearing in a major motion picture but I am aware of a feature film with a multimillion dollar budget that in the next few weeks is releasing their movie by selling it on their website and allowing the buyer to purchase the film using bitcoin.

Given how Hollywood movies work, Bitcoin will appear in something crime related

Bitcoin was already in a crime show. It was just a few lines but it was mentioned in Almost Human. Episode was about people who needed new hearts and were getting extorted for artificial ones. One woman was using BTC to make her payments and had a mobile wallet in her sock.

I'm not sure if they'll get many mentions in films coming out this year, but maybe 2015.

Not really a movie, but IMHO, The Big Bang Theory would be a fitting place for a Bitcoin mention.

House of Cards would be a great venue. All it takes it a Bitmillionaire to pay someone over at Netflix or the director.

They have multiple directors for the show...

But as another user pointed out, if it were to be mentioned or play a role in a film's plot, my money's on a crime/thriller film.

Indeed, 2 years is a long time in Bitcoin.  We'd just had the New Year's surge, suggesting an end to the great bear market.  Neither the Bitcoin Foundation nor SatoshiDice even existed.

As I understand it, many viewers thought that Bitcoin had been made up by the script writers.

Not long. It's already appeared in the TV show "The Good Wife," it's written into some fiction, and there's been that weird mention in The Simpsons. As a technology, Bitcoin is exotic enough to be taken up in weblit and other venues (like my Black Hat Magick) and therefore it's likely to be cloned or at least obliquely referenced in a movie within the next year or two.

Semi-popular technologies are good for rapid-cycle edge of your seat shows, and I can totally see Bitcoin appearing in any financial or even detective story. I'm surprised it hasn't bled into a procedural crime drama yet. Next step is appearing in a movie. It's just a matter of time at the recognition it's gotten in 2013.

Such a great video.

So many correlations to Bitcoin.

We are on the verge of something huge.  No doubt.

I wonder if a virtual heist film would work out on the screen?

I hadn't thought of that, but it would totally fit!

I'm anxious to see the quality/feel/tone of the show, though.

from another thread:

Ripple and Bitcoin were both mentioned yesterday in a show called "The Blacklist" as well.

In the show a government analyst supposedly transferred $5,000,000 from a bank account through Ripple to ECash exchanging it for Bitcoin and then sending it through a mixing service that he trusted before transferring it to a new bank account to make the transfer untraceable (All in under 120 seconds).

I guess they can't be expected to get all the details right, since it would make for a boring show to have to sit around and set up false identifications, get verified by an exchange, and wait for confirmations.

It's interesting to see how they will pull a move like that off with pretty much most of it being set in the virtual world. Maybe it will just centre mostly on drama around DPR and his supposed double life etc.

Yeah I would imagine it's like most internet/tech based movies , focuses on the person running the site/business and the trials and tribulations they go through.

I'm interested in it, but I'll probably be one of those people just complaining how fabricated most of it is. No doubt they'll give Ross a love interest etc haha.

Haha yeah. It would be a nice hat-trick for Cumberbatch though, he seems to be on something of a binge of late when it comes to playing those sorts of roles.
