I have an unsolved riddle I need help with about the Bitcoin film...
In November 2024, Deadline reported that David Sacks and Daniel Brunt optioned Andrew O’Hagan’s “The Satoshi Affair” and brought it to Mark Goffman to adapt, with Sophia Banks set to direct. Roughly two weeks later, Sacks was named Trump’s White House AI & Crypto Czar.
A year later, Doug Liman’s Bitcoin (previously Killing Satoshi) begins production—Casey Affleck as Craig Wright, Pete Davidson as Calvin Ayre, Gal Gadot as Lotte Miller, the journalist/chronicler pulled into the story. O’Hagan’s original meeting was initiated by Jimmy Nguyen on behalf of Calvin’s side during the 2015–2016 proof sessions and life-rights push.
Is Sacks quietly behind the scenes of this entire production?
