Rather unfortunate timing for them! Still, it may help with the recovery.

"The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin" great title

I suspect it only covers til  April 2013? 

Certainly not past December 2013. 
Otherwise it would be called: The Rise, Rise, Bump, Thud, Plop, & Sputter Of Bitcoin.

Haha.

OP, you make this sound like a movie, but it's just a documentary. I thought somebody had actually hired an actor to play Mark Karpeles at first  :D.

This could be a good thing and a bad one too.
It all comes down on what it is about and how well it is filmed.

Make sure you stock up with btc just prior to opening day because regardless of how bad it looks like btc gets hit it will cause a surge (30%+) in value

Haha, yeah, I could see a lot of people going home and buying coins after the movie. It's probably 2 or 3 years away yet I reckon. They're writing the script at the moment.

Will mark be starring as the guy who made Bitcoin worthless? The guy who stole millions of dollars the guy who cheated and lied to the community? I'm not going to be watching thos movie just because of him starring in it.

who's the 'they', do you know my company would like to buy some product placement

They as in the producer and the screenwriter Dennis Lehane who wrote Shutter Island etc. I think you'll probably need some big bucks to buy placement in this film.

Good movies on paradigm changes typically come 5 years after the event has fully matured.

Otherwise they're typically done half-assed and end up not being that great.

But since Hollywood loves to rush to make money, they've been making movies on things before they've even finished "changing the world".

(Facebook movie, Eminem movie, etc).   Wish they would wait until the full effects have been seen and appreciated by the world.
