They are going for a theatre release rather than releasing it on the OTT platforms? I want to see how honest their depiction of Silk Road and DPR is. Perhaps they should mention that the real reason why the FBI went after Silk Road is because the Mexican drug cartels were losing money due to competition from the dark market.. or perhaps that is too much to ask for. I hope at least they would show what happened after the arrest, including some of the rogue FBI agents stealing BTC from the silk road wallet and transferring them to their personal wallets.
Where there any corroborating articles to support that claim because that is a pretty big conspiracy if there really is although I don't think that they will be putting conspiracy that makes FBI look bad to the public in a movie.

I don't know why I sense that bitcoin will be shown as an evil in this movie! Probably yes! Probably not! I can see only one mention of Bitcoin in the trailer but I really hope it doesn't show bitcoin in negative light. The trailer is already popular with 62k views but the problem is, bitcoin can be shown as an evil money which connected the dots with silk road and its customers.

Not good! Especially at this time when bitcoin has started generating a lot of interest among the corporates!
If it is Hollywood then your hopes will be for nothing, if it fits the narrative and it sells more tickets then bitcoin will be on whatever light they want it to be. I just hope that this movie will show the highlights of the story and make it follow what really happened as much as possible.
