In the movies I have watched that bitcoin has been mentioned in recent times (2017-2018), I think it has reduced from the outright drug dealers and murders but now its being portrayed as a means to hide from government. The recent one I watched was a billionaire facing some charges  with the government and could lose everything and was forced to take the option of keeping enough in crypto currency. While its not totally a promotion of bitcoin or its endorsement, its really a great shift from the myopic position that they have taken in time past and that is really giving the popularity that shows that bitcoin might not be scam or ponzi after all.
