Bitcoin and Blockchain in Hollywood Movies

[dothebeats]

Well IMO, it's better that the public knows about some of these things generally even if these movies are not specifically pertaining to bitcoin. The human mind is curious enough to ask questions even from a single intriguing sentence without having some references to create a contextual passage. Forget about the hate on mainstream movies and media in general for as long as they are stimulating the curiosity of the viewers, it's all okay.

Oh and The Hustle is quite a good recommendation though I never really dig the ending.

If you do the right search using several different words, you will get better results, but it is better for you to ask about a particular film or topic and then members can help you find the best solution or proposal. Filmmakers use all possible tricks to reach an audience, and crypto is generally portrayed as something negative, and I think it's more dangerous than good with this kind of promotion. I won't even mention the superficiality and inaccuracy that is part of artistic freedom, so sometimes it seems quite funny, like kids talking about crypto in their childish ways. I appreciate the fact that you are doing research about BTC mentioned in the film But why should we care about this?

Do you really think I am not reading every reply in my thread?

This is plagiarism in its best. Wow.

Movie makers use all possible tricks to reach audiences, and crypto is generally portrayed as something negative, and I think it does more harm than good with this kind of promotion. I won't even mention the superficiality and inaccuracy that is part of some artistic freedom, so sometimes it seems pretty funny, like kids talking about crypto in their childish manner.

I'm not interested into watching movies and Hollywood produces lots of shitty and mediocre movies nowadays.
Why not turning to another big part of the pop culture-like  rap music.
Bitcoin is mentioned by a few rappers in their songs.I remember that Royce Da 5'9 mentioned it in one song.

I am interested in this comment. Well, everyone has their own interests, right? anyone likes movies, music, drama, etc. When one of the entertainment media quotes about cryptocurrency, it will definitely be interesting for crypto enthusiasts, right? That's a sign that cryptocurrency is increasingly becoming a common thing that many people know, especially Hollywood films that have many fans on an international scale.
Of course, music is good for media dissemination of information, but I say once again, everyone has their own interests Maybe for the next opportunity you can provide a list of popular songs that contain cryptocurrency elements

Thanks for the list I don't even noticed that bitcoin was mentioned on Ant-Man and the Wasp I might rewatch the whole movie, Lol. I have seen several TV series too either mentioning bitcoin or bitcoin logo is shown if I am not mistaken it is "Money Heist". Bitcoin is really getting some exposure with this TV series and movies it is good for bitcoin to get free promotion.

Actually it was just "cryptocurrency" word which was said in Ant-Man and the Wasp. It was just for a moment and was said once in the script of Sonny Burch (Walton Goggins in real life).
It might be short but it made repeat the whole movie.  It was lined among AI and nanotechnology.

TV series though. I hate watching them. Once I did, I start getting hooked by it until I finish it. Like GOT, TWD and more.
I hate waiting for one more year for the continuation. I want something that can be finished in jut 2 hours or 3. Depends.

This TV series Almost Human came out in 2013 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sXcxP6LuYk 

It has one of the earliest mentions I can think of from film and TV. It's set in 2048 or something and they use 'Bitcoin sticks' to do contactless payment type things.

Wow, this has to be a winner. I think even the Simpson's one is 2014. Or was it Futurama now? The first time I heard Bitcoin was a year before that in Pakistan actually and on one of the really local state television too. It was all in Urdu and someone translated for me, but apparently some people were seriously into it (p2p exchange).

Funny that in the TV show they thought it would need that long to come up with contactless Bitcoin payments!

So recently, I have been watching a lot of films with the (paid) Fox movies application and other ways.
Struck with some movies adding bitcoin and the blockchain in their scripts and plots.
People are seeing it now even in Hollywood.

1. The Hustle.
Penny Rust (Rebel Wilson) trying to payback Thomas for the medical expenses in bitcoin.
She even stated how much the transaction fee is. It was really funny.
Cannot find a better clip but here is one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fk9Xd9lkR4 go to 2:35.
Credits to the owner.

2. Charlie's Angels (2019)

Elena Houghlin (Naomi Scott) is a scientist, engineer and inventor of Calisto -- a sustainable energy source that will revolutionize the way people use power. But when the cutting edge technology falls into the wrong hands, Elena turns to the Townsend Agency for help. Now, it's up to the Angels -- Jane, Sabina and the newly recruited Elena -- to retrieve Calisto before it can be transformed into a weapon of mass destruction.

Thanks to google.

“All my character talked about was blockchain, and I remember I went in and Liz Banks [director] is so smart…she was explaining it to me, and I was not getting it.”

Naomi continues, “She got a piece of paper out and was drawing a diagram. I was like ‘she’s going to recast me because I don’t know what blockchain is’…to this day, I don’t know what blockchain means.” LOL!

3. Crypto (2019)
Director: John Stalberg Jr.
This, I haven't watched yet. Trying to get a copy of the film.

4. Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)
Credits to Botnake. Thanks for the share.

"you can forget nano-tech. Forget AI. Forget cryptocurrency. Quantum energy is the future."

If you have some to share, please do. Even those with just a little part in the script.
Not the old ones though as I know there is already one thread for that.
Also, if I am in the wrong section, please correct me.

Movies can be a start for a good revolution. A lot of movies such as those which involve different races made people realize their talent and their rights. Those which involve emotions and feelings made people cry. Similarly, mentioning Bitcoin, Blockchain, and/or Cryptocurrency, especially in mainstream and famous movies, can catch the attention of viewers especially those non-Bitcoin users. It is good to know that the directors behind these movies are aware of what Bitcoin can do. If they are mentioned in the story, there is a tendency for people to enter the world of Bitcoin.

[seoincorporation]

Thanks for the information , I didn't even know that bitcoin and blockchain are mentioned so much in movies.

An not only in movies, but even you can also see the main animated cartoons like The Simpsons talking now about bitcoin. The description they give about cryptocurrencies was a joke, but at least they talk about it.

For me, my favorite representation of cryptos on the big screen was the E-Coin in Mr. Robot.

[fullhdpixel]

This is really good and I’m expecting more and more movies in Hollywood to be creating awareness for cryptocurrency by doing things that relates to cryptocurrency in their movies. This will, as time goes on, create more awareness and make the government to lift bans on cryptocurrency and allow people to make use of it. Or maybe they will create a cryptocurrency for the people.

Okay, I said that because I have seen the road we are heading to, governments now wants to create their own cryptocurrency and they are going to be centralized. Whatever happens, I am really hoping for the best and not the worst. But I want the government to allow people to be making use of Bitcoin without any problem.

India and South Korea uplifted their conflict with the cryptocurrencies, so maybe this is the time we'll get to see more of crypto in bollywood and hollywood when the movie is all about the future or something advance. Exposing in movies for like a couple of seconds would really help to the community, reaching billions of viewers are extremely high. I'm sure those who know what crypto is will smile when they see it haha.

I know how important movies/films are in our contemporary society, as a genre of literature and also a source of information and entertainment, if this films that expound the bitcoin will be created even the more, I think the above purpose you mentioned can be achieved through it. This is a somewhat wonderful medium for the cryptocurrency industry to capitalize on.

I'm not that much of a movie freak, but I'll make sure I do watch a couple of the movies listed in this thread at least if not for anything, for the sake or our major concern:Bitcoin

It's a golden rule that the more informed you are about a subject the more outraged you'll be by Hollywood's treatment of it. If you have blood pressure problems you may want to get someone else to watch it and report back to you.

I'm more interested in stuff that'll emerge from stories that originate from the scene itself rather than having it glued to the usual dross. If the full truth ever emerges about Silk Road that would make for a fascinating flick.

[bgaf]

I appreciate the fact that you did some research about BTC being mentioned in movies,but why should we care about this?

Probably OP's just interested how people already informed of cryptocurrency even in movies its being mentioned.

@OP- I watched a lot of films too and heard some of cryptocurrency and bitcoin on their discussion. If Im not mistaken some part on the Marvels Avenger series it was also noted. I'm not sure which one it is. But only an insertion on such discussion they are having. Anyway will search a lot I know, there are more that we missed aside from your list.

Last time was just a documentary encircling about silk road, bitcoin and politics.
Something like a movie but base on true story will be better.

The best way is to put subtitles in it.
I have been watching some of the Marvel again but now I input a subtitle just to not miss some words that will come out of their mouth. 
It is also easier to catch up.
English accents are also difficult to understand most of the time. They are really good at using their language.

[taufik123]

I saw bitcoin featured in Billions TV show in 2017.
A moment to remember.

History or moments that will not be forgotten.
In my country in Indonesia, it even becomes trending in one week and is published in print and digital media every day and is the subject of discussion in the government.
The entry of Bitcoin in several films makes Bitcoin more widely known. Especially if Blockchain and Bitcoin enter the world of Hollywood which is the largest film industry, will provide many benefits.

Even so, bitcoin included in the film is identified with illegal payment transactions for prohibited goods such as drugs and illegal firearms etc.

[BuNga_cute]

If we talk about bitcoin and blockchain it is rarely found in hollywood movies. I also wonder why the producer and famous directors
in Hollywood are not very interested in bitcoin. In fact, if there is a Hollywood film that is made specifically for raising the theme of
the world of cryptocurrency would be very good for the development of bitcoin. Hopefully in the future there are hollywood movies
who really raised the theme of bitcoin, using famous celebrities like leonardo di caprio, denzel washington, chris evans, and so forth.
It will definitely have a positive impact on the development of bitcoin. While hollywood movies mentioned in the opening post not
discuss specifically about bitcoin, but only in conversation.

[pakhitheboss]

Let the movies make cryptocurrency popular... So that after some time governments of all nations will remove the restriction on it.
In India crypto is ban.

In india cryptocurrency is neither banned nor is accepted as a legal tender. You can HODL, trade , Buy and Sell cryptocurrency without any issue. Recently banks have also started allowing cryptocurrency based transaction after the Supreme court of India rejected RBI's ban.

[sheenshane]

if I'm not mistaken, things that smell of cryptocurrency also appear on Deadpool movies, it's just that I don't know whether Deadpool goes into Hollywood Movies or not.

I also noticed this movie Deadpool talking about cryptocurrency on their line script.

Actually I have created a thread last year in our local the same like this. A movie that has a scene of Bitcoin and Blockchain but I dont know if this belongs to Holywood movies. The title of the movie is "Unfriended: Darkweb". And the story was related to Bitcoin when a guy saw a laptop that has a 15 Bitcoin that owned by the hacker. But I don't like the whole concept of this movie when it comes to the credibility of Bitcoin.

Unfriended: Darkweb

Really? Deadpool too?
I will watch both 1 and 2 again later on.

It seems like I have been missing those parts because I don't usually use subtitles.
Even if just one word of crypto currency, bitcoin or blockchain will be worth the watch again.
Besides, it is a good movie so it will be fun.
