How can you make a movie about someone who nobody knows anything about?
All we have about are a bunch of emails,  bitcointalk posts  and so on.

Nobody know if he was an individual or a group of people.

I guess a movie could be about hal Finney or someone else who is known, and who interacted with him online.

Or a very talented writer could make something entirelydifferent

It would be a fiction movie then, because we can only speculate about Satoshi and his daily routine developing bitcoin until his disappearence. Even the reason behind his disappearence is pure speculation.
For entertainment purposes it may be a good idea if well directed and played, but for history it wouldn't have any value.

But don't worry, sooner or later someone will come with a project like this asking for investments and promising returns later, from the movie's revenue.

Of course Satoshi Nakamoto may be hard to show in the film because of the lack of information, but it may be a good idea to show even those that we have nowadays in different variants and left viewer with the unfinished final scene or with a mystery ending. May be someday someone will fulfil this idea you wrote about even despite nowadays it seems to be strange.

Yes.

Nobody's stopping you. Just start your crowfund, open a thread here (and maybe in reddit) and see how it goes. Reddit is a better place if you want to get more attention though. You might wanna ask the same question there too.

However, I dunno If bitcoin really needs a movie... hiring actors and stuff will be expensive too.

It's funny sometimes when I see what you guys consider cryptocurrency realm to be, a place to raise fund to make a movie about someone (Satoshi Nakamoto) that value his privacy and no one know the genuine story about his biography.
Wait are you trying to spread false information about him?
This is another scam strategy isn't it?

a movie about satoshi should not involve Dave Kleiman..

DK and CSW had nothing to do with bitcoin during satoshi era

if you want a movie about DK and CSW.. then you should put it into the fiction category

if you still believe CSW/DK had something to do with satoshi. then you are definitely not the right person/expert on what the movie should contain/be about


now go do your research and realise CSW and DK only got involved in 2013 when CSW made a scam about owning lots of bitcoin.. a scam created by grabbing public addresses and pretending that public addresses is proof of ownership

CSW/DK had no involvement in 2008-2011
go research

..
as for a true satoshi plot
have it as a over-the-shoulder(no face) view of a guy piecing together different cypherpunk idea's and then releasing his masterpiece.
maybe the scene is him doodling on a whiteboard piecing it together (beautiful mind style)
skip to the rease and then the week later where the first transaction is made. have 2 characters getting excited that the idea actually works.
move forward to the lazlo pizza
move forward to alpaca socks
maybe feature it as a farmer that is struggling to sell his alpaca socks so comes across bitcoin and implements it. and suddenly his business gets busier
then bitcoin cupcakes.
then wallstreet
and so on

..
ofcourse stretching it out for 90 minutes would mean many social scenes explaining how different events changed things for people in a dramatic way.
so it can play out how it follows the bitcoin alpaca guy over time. evolving the storyline. could involve hal finneys slow progression of his ALS

..
but anyway the topic creator doesnt appear to know much about satoshi era facts. so i would not deem him worthy of being a project manager about satoshi era

Crowdfunding has its limit and given your cast, director, writer and music score, I don't think that 12 million is going to be enough, not to mention that how can you make a movie about satoshi when no one knows a thing about satoshi, what do you want them to do? Make a fake back story which is likely to happen since Hollywood can do this kind of thing for dramatization purposes but that would mean that they wouldn't be faithful to the original but what can they do when they are in a paradox. I would say that we can crowdfund but the problem is will people are going to jump in the crowdfund mania?

Yes franky1, it would have to start with the cypherpunks and their different efforts
to create a form of digital currency.

It of course would have to be massively dramatised, like a drama thriller.

! The cypherpunks, Nick Szabo, Hal Finney, Gavin Andeason and others working on various projects.

! Government agencies investigating their efforts

! The cypherpunks receiving a random email with the Bitcoin Whitepaper

! The cypherpunks pouring over it and discussing it, then them replying to the email

! at this point Satoshi appears on the screen, this shadowy person, we cannot make out
it is a he or a she (for the screen, it wont be a they)

! the government agencies are getting closer and switch their attention to Satoshi

! more interaction between Satoshi and others and how they along with the law are trying
to find out who Satoshi is, while helping with Bitcoin

! Government agencies getting closer, it looks like they are about to knock on Satoshi's door,
but then Satoshi is not there...

That's right, making a film about someone you don't know about will only create a false story...
making a film about Finney or a veteran member who founded this forum for the first time will be much better and will definitely get a good rating.

It would only be a fiction movie because Satoshi Nakamoto is still anonymous and no one knows about his story, so the story would only be speculation, Yeah, but this movie is not that easy to create and a lot of time should be needed before we create the whole movie, besides if ever Satoshi is still alive I don't think that he would be happy about the story because for sure the story would be a whole lie and different from his real story.
