Re: The Silk Road Film has been released - shows what happened on this forum 2 catch
I watched it too, and it's kinda meh. As you said, too many fictional things added, but that was kinda expected since this is not documentary. The only good thing about the movie is that some people may dig deeper and check what really happened. Imho, this whole subject deserves much better film, with bigger budget and more serious director. Someone like David Fincher would do much better job, and would fit this perfectly. What we got got is essentially made-for-TV low budget film with zero character development.
Well movie was ready and finished in 2020 for Tribeca Film Festival but it was postponed because of covid pandemic, and I would not say it is low budget movie but I don't know what was the actual budget.
Lionsgate released it and they have some solid actors like Jason Clarke and Jimmi Simpson, there are some ok reviews on imdb and rotten tomatoes and I would say movie is watchable, and interesting for people who don't know anything about SlikRoad.
Like I said before, funny part in movie for me was when they create Bitcoin wallet with mobile phone and ID card for DEA detective
Just an idea of mine, maybe Roger Ver could be sponsor for some better and more realistic movie and do something good with his money, and we know he still supports Ross very much.
Other Bitcoin whales could also do the same and paint more realistic picture of Ross, Silkroad and Bitcoin.
