Could we crowdfund a movie about Satoshi Nakamoto?

[kryptqnick]

I think that to get such popular people to work on the movie, you'd need way more than $12 million unless they feel generous because of caring about the topic (which I don't think is going to happen). That movie Steve Jobs you're referring to cost $30 million, so I guess that's a more realistic budget. Moreover, it's really hard to make a biopic about a person whose identity remains a secret and about whom we have very limited information.
Apart from that, people like this don't work on a story they aren't interested in, and while Steve Jobs is extremely popular and recognized for his achievements, whereas Satoshi is definitely not that popular.

There already are tons of documentaries about BTC which includes information about Satoshi. The thing is that there is not that much to film about, Steve jobs is a person who you can talk to and find all his lifes work . But since we dont know who is Sataoshi it would not be that interesting because of lack of information.

...//...:

At that level that you mention (people involved), an idea is useless, even without having a single dollar in your pocket what works is an original script or maybe a book and making an adapted script, after that comes everything else . If you have a good book or a good script, the movie has financing in any streaming and since Steven Spielberg does not bet on streaming, we rule it out.

I just wanted to know how the plot would have been depicted if the film was made. because so far we have only heard biased information and do not provide strong references regarding the figure of Satoshi Nakamoto. For me this is a pretty good initiative, and I would be really excited to see how this film is made and officially released.

What will be the content of the movie when no one actually knows who is the Satoshi Nakamoto? Just create an imaginary thing is say this was happening while creating bitcoins. Biography are for the one who is known and they will tell the writer about their whole story here someone assume and write everything as fake is not actually going to benefit anyone.

I think we should take bitcoin/crypto marketing to the next level and motivate all bitcoin and crypto friends to crowdfund a movie about Satoshi Nakamoto.

This is not something I agree with. Satoshi Nakamoto has more than enough money (bitcoins) to finance his own goddamn movie, in my opinion.

I think we should take bitcoin/crypto marketing to the next level and motivate all bitcoin and crypto friends to crowdfund a movie about Satoshi Nakamoto. For example, the movie biography about Steve Jobs cost about 12 million USD. So I think it's even affordable...

As main protagonists I would suggest Dave Kleiman (scott patterson) and Hal Finney (Willem Dafoe/ Sean Maguire), and a third person/satoshi (who is just unknown and whose identity is not clarified;Keanu Reeves).

Director: Danny Boyle or Steven Spielberg.
Screenplay: Aaron Sorkin
Music: Hans Zimmer.

We could do this as huge bitcoin community project and if every bitcoin/crypto friend contribute even a small amount, we would have the money tomorrow.

It would be even better if a crypto celebrity would start the call to increase the range!!

Could be interesting movie and possibly many would be interested for this production
thing is no one else but satoshi(s) really know the story behind the story...

To me, it is a brilliant idea but I can't decide for everyone. If it happens, I will contribute my quota to make it a reality by donating some bulks.
The movie will be a hit because many will want to know more about him through it.

[LogitechMouse]

I would love to see it but unfortunately, the chances of this to happen will be close to zero.
One thing more is that, how can you make a movie regarding a person/s who we don't know its exact identity or identities.

I think documentaries regarding Satoshi is enough already and creating a movie isn't necessary and one thing more is that it doesn't really need a movie unless there will be some greedy directors and actors out there who will try to create a movie regarding Satoshi. I don't think too that it will be watched by many people too especially us who have been involved in crypto for a long time and yet we don't know who Satoshi is.

Like it is very difficult to come true if you have to raise funds in order to make Hollywood films with famous stars. The costs required are enormous,
but you are free to dream, there are no restrictions on this. But why don't you think a little realistically, especially in a pandemic situation like now,
it is impossible for your idea to be realized. Because making a film is not as easy as we think, it is not only a matter of cost that is thought. There are
many things that must be taken into account. Moreover, information about Satoshi Nakamoto is very limited. So it's not easy to make a film about
the biography of Satoshi Nakamoto.

[franky1]

movies dont need crowd funding.. and if they did. they would end up in the 'indie' category and not become a blockbuster hit.

if you want a movie worthy of viewing. get a CORRECT and accurate script that has enough content to be entertaining and informative. then hand it to movie studios.

there has already been movies released about crypto with big names in it.. there have been many tv shows too

its even had many features in individual episodes and movies where crypto was mentioned but was not the main plot

I don't think we can make that movie without knows who is the satoshi is. All i know about him just a view post in this forum and i think she from japan because of he's name.

That is far fetch thing to speculate satoshi's nationality since his way of talking resembles of a British wording and IIRC Satoshi is not a Japanese word. Regarding a movie about him, I would watch it if that movie is accurate and will tell us who really is satoshi.

Satoshi Nakamoto is the presumed person who developed bitcoin, authored the bitcoin white paper, and created and deployed bitcoin's original reference implementation. Making a movie about the creator of BTC who's still unknown even now is absurd. How would you make a movie out of a person whose identity is unknown? We're not really sure if he's the real creator of BTC.

For making film you need to have proper script which might also be fictional like Indentity of Sathoshi Nakamoto is not known at all.From past incidents which are known making 2-3 hours of proper movie is difficult task.Making audience addictive till last of the movie is main task and how you portray his character.Budget is not at all a problem because if your story is liked by everyone you will get many producers for your movie.Here is one article in which a similar movie discussion is carried out.

Sathoshi Nakamoto new movie "Decrypted"

An outrageous and provocative dark comedy about a mismatched NSA team who kidnap the creator of Bitcoin ⁠— Satoshi Nakamoto ⁠— and attempt to torture him for the information they need to destroy crypto-currencies.

The film is supposed to be released on 1st July 2021 under the Substantial Production House.

Let's see what they have come with up in this movie and how have the lead actor played the role to make movie better.

You're actually right.We can't make a movie without knowing the main character. For my own opinion the most possible thing that we can create from all the informations we know about him is documenting. Document all the emails he left or other stuff that can be important. I think people would be more interested to watch documentary rather than a movie without complete and enough context about the main character. I also agree his name sounds japanese.

Good suggestion but how can anyone make biography on someone who is anonymous and little is known about him.
We all know Satoshi created btc but how do we now what circumstances lead to this, what difficulties he faced, what real purpose he had for creating btc etc.
Without ample knowledge about the person, making a movie on him will serve no purpose.

[jahepahit]

using it for a marketing stuff will not really work because he/she isnt someone that people knows. using a faceless personality wont have a big impact. a simple writeup will be enough to pass the message.

A movie will be interesting if the main character is clearly told, but not much information can be obtained regarding Satoshi Nakamoto.
If we are forced to make a movie about Satoshi Nakamoto that does not attract the attention of many people, it is realistic to make a documentary.
Regarding the name Satoshi Nakamoto it looks like a Japanese name, but I doubt Satoshi Nakamoto comes from Japan. Because there is
not a single piece of evidence to suggest that Satoshi Nakamoto came from Japan, except the name used.

Making a movie without solid facts is just futile. You can't give a good narrative if the lead person himself has blurred personal history. So I don't think someone can ever make a movie for Satoshi. They can always use his persona in a movie but dedicating a movie for him is quite a challenge. So right now, even if someone has the funds to make it happen, they can't as they are not holding the facts about him, mostly are conspiracy theories and fake individuals admitting they are Satoshi.

[verita1]

I also agree, guys! Satoshi's character has little historical data to give him life in a movie. Unless the emotions are collected for each line that he wrote in bitcointalk and the times that he shared email with the other personalities that he maintained close communication so that the writers can create a character based on his ideas and temperament. That was the reality of him, an enigmatic and brilliant man. I think we will be satisfied if the story is based on real events.
For my part, I would love to see a good movie about Satoshi in his honor because without a doubt he will be the most important man of the 21st century as bitcoin becomes more popular and it has allowed the development of a new economy with cryptocurrencies.
