Doug Liman, the director behind high-octane hits like ‘The Bourne Identity’ and ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith,’ has signed on to helm ‘Killing Satoshi,’ a conspiracy thriller that dives deep into the mythos surrounding Nakamoto and why the answer to his identity could destabilise the global power structure.
Leading the cast are Oscar winner Casey Affleck (Manchester by the Sea) and comedian-turned-actor Pete Davidson (The King of Staten Island). The project is keeping its character roles under tight wraps, but the pairing suggests a mix of tense drama and unexpected edge.
Satoshi Nakamoto is one of the most mysterious names in modern history — the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin whose identity has never been confirmed.

The screenplay comes from Nick Schenk, best known for penning Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino and The Mule. His script follows an elite cabal determined to bury the truth about Bitcoin’s mysterious creator — at any cost.
With its blend of shadowy intrigue, financial stakes, and power struggles, ‘Killing Satoshi’ looks set to tackle one of the 21st century’s most enduring mysteries with blockbuster energy.
