NEW Crypto Movie: Satoshi 11 (working title)

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Think: Ocean's 11 meets The Producers (further think: Springtime for Hitler; perhaps actual movie title).

Plot: A person claiming to be Satoshi recruits 11 renowned cryptoers in forming a company designed to conduct the world's largest ICO (in excess of $10B), whereupon once the moneys' raised, they exit scam, but the project takes on a life of its own where the scammers are forced to see the project to fruition in hopes of even a larger payday while the SEC et al. are on their heels.

Thoughts.

EDIT: I'm leaning towards Satoshi 11 opposed to Satoshi's 11. That said, feel free to weigh in if you have a better title in mind.

Also, CryptoBry mentioned at an IEO attached to prominant exchange (even if fictitious) would be better than if it were an ICO.

As new sound ideas are presented, I'll present them below, thus keep you input a comin'.

Title doesn't capture anything but the requirement so suspend belief for an Italian Job style heist (which the plot isn't).

In essence, you've got nothing crypto about the plot, except the vehicle of the scam: the ICO, and, as Bitconnect proves, doesn't even need to be a crypto or a blockchain even to succeed. Modus operandi is that of a ponzi, so you already have superior films out there (that recent one on Bernie Madoff is one I recall most easily).

Instead of an ICO, it would be more believable if IEO is conducted in one of the best and top crypto exchange of the world convincing the top honchos that the project is very legit and must be supported while at the same time silencing (or killing) some people who know the truth of the matter. There should be a figure coming from SEC who is handsome and so charismatic and he will be the one conducting the investigation and uncovering the whole truth...and in the end this guy will almost be killed by the 11 renowned cryptoers.

It will be depends on how the director's bring this movie into life,the plot might be not that interesting but if well known actors and directors will contribute to this movie it will then attracts movie goers to take a move and watch it, hope it will not be the same with the latest movie about crypto where I didn't find any convincing factors to have Larger audience.

So that's just a reminder to all those people that believe that Craig Wright is a real satoshi that every time someone loudly says that he is a creator of blockchain that suddenly decided to break his silence and start saying different unbelievable bullshit that is definetely gona end up with some scamcoins (like it happens with BCH) or in this case exit scam. And all those attempts to renew the project are just attempts to advocate themselves in order not to get in jail.

Let's made here a thread about movies
"Now you see my coins" would be an adventure movie about group of illusionists who are attempting to hack the biggest exchange (let's call it "Binafex" for example) on live-stream

IEO sounds plausable.

As for the [handsome] SEC dude, he could be in on the act, in partnership with the fakesatoshi.

That's a given along with cameo appearances of actors/actresses playing themselves who were conned to attached themselves to the fictitious IEO.

Not envisioning a Ponzi et al., but an outright scam program being advanced.

A working idea is a project having the ticket symbol VAQ for Virtual Reality/AI (Artificial Intelligence)/Quantum Computers, inspired by https://www.quora.com/Of-all-the-new-technologies-blockchain-AI-VR-AR-Quantum-Computing-and-IoT-which-most-realistically-will-have-the-biggest-impact-commercially-in-the-next-5-years:

Of all the new technologies: blockchain, AI, VR/AR, Quantum Computing and IoT, which most realistically will have the biggest impact commercially in the next 5 years?

[Genemind]

The title could be simple but the story flow must be unique.
It would be better if good a good director and artists would portray the roles.
It should be a meaningful movie that could be informative and catchy to most crypto lovers.
It would be a hit for most people who know about cryptocurrency and its controversies.

What is this for btw? are you (and your team) gonna make a film or is this just for fun? 'cause you can't just add whatever idea that comes to your mind, you have to consider your available resources too

Just entertaining a brainfart is all, bud, with it having nothing to do with YTC.

A movie about ICO Scams, nothing new thought but its a movie. anyway, I think Satoshi in ICO can be a title. there are already a lot of movies which has a similar concept of course not with cryptocurrency but they are similar. but still, we need more and more Stuff for our society like a movie is a good idea.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Inspired by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Producers_(musical) ...

Step 1: We find the worst play ever written.
Step 2: We hire the worst director in town.
Step 3: We raise two million dollars. ... One for me, one for you. There's a lot of little old ladies out there!
Step 4: We hire the worst actors in New York and open on Broadway and before you can say
Step 5: We close on Broadway, take our two million, and go to Rio.

1: We write the worse White Paper ever, complete with grammatical errors.
2: We hire the worse crypto PR firm.
3: We raise $20B. ... One for each of the Satoshi 11 with the rest going to secondary accomplices and perhaps a charity.
4: We hire real actors and famous people who previously loaned their names to failed crypto projects.
5: At the end of the fundraising round, all the crooks plan on retiring in different parts of the world, living under aliases.

If it would be just for fun, make sure that it would be stated upon launching because people might just get confused or might interpret it the wrong way. However, I love the idea of being creative about the blockchain technology. It's not also easy to create a plot twist about Satoshi and cryptocurrency.

Not planning on conducting a real crowdfunding. That's just the premise of the movie.

[Haunebu]

Interesting. Such a movie needs to include big names like McAfee and Craig Wright who made fake claims about Satoshi all over the Internet. They could be the villains. Am a big fan of the Oceans series myself(Except Oceans 8 which was alright) which is why I would love to see someone make such a movie.

[xvids]

The idea is great but it would also depends on the director on how they would make it attractive.
It would be another suspense movie about crypto ,
It is great that we are having crypto as part of the movie but don't you think those negative things on the movie would make other people to stay away from crypto?

[smartbitcoininvestor]

Not too shabby. It would be a great addition to any movie lovers collection.

Didn't think of that, akin to how negative things like fiat being used in movies make people stay away from the US dollar.

[nutildah]

I like it. If it's a comedy, the coin should have an unfortunate acronym / symbol, like VAG.

I want to do casting:

Vince Vaughn and Jeremy Piven as the project masterminds
Jon Hamm as the square SEC agent
Kevin Hart as the bad promoter / marketing director
Nick Nolte as the off-his-rocker CEO
Will Ferrell as the naive angel investor
Aubrey Plaza as the social media expert / Vince Vaughan love interest
Ben Stiller as the eccentric hacker
Owen Wilson as the smarmy spokesperson
Ken Jeong as the over-the-top Chinese stereotype investor
Kumail Nanjiani as the website developer / IT tech (also a stereotype but he resents it)

With cameos by

Tom Cruise - SEC director who unwittingly approves the project over Jon Hamms objections

Mel Brooks - Satoshi Nakamoto

I love the idea of Mel Brooks appearing at the very end of the movie alluding to the quasi-fact that he's Satoshi.

If not a comedy, then 3 times throughout the movie we see Mel Brooks eating a pizza.

Another actor to consider: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_Harrelson

VAQ is pronounced Vac as in Vacuum cleaner, sucking money from Investardz (pl. & sg.; a term actually used in the movie to refer to the marks/investors).
