Killing Santoshi

[Cremildo]

Doug Liman (“The Bourne Identity,” “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”) has signed on to direct “Killing Satoshi,” a conspiracy thriller that looks to unravel one of the most enduring mysteries of the 21st century: the secret identity of Nakamoto and why the answer threatens the global power structure. Oscar winner Casey Affleck (“Manchester by the Sea”) and Pete Davidson (“The King of Staten Island”) will star in the film, with their character descriptions being kept under wraps.

Nick Schenk, who has collaborated with Clint Eastwood on two of his more recent movies — “Gran Torino” and “The Mule” — wrote the screenplay, which traces an elite cabal’s diabolical plans to make sure that the truth never surfaces.

The project was originally developed by Kavanaugh and is being fully financed through his production company Proxima in conjunction with Aperture Media Partners. Filming is set to begin in October in London, with an expected 2026 release. [source]
