AI Cuts Doug Liman’s Bitcoin Movie Budget From $300M to $70M



On April 15, 2026, TheWrap reported on its set visit to Doug Liman’s $70M film ‘Bitcoin: Killing Satoshi,’ which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate backgrounds, sets, and lighting, starring Casey Affleck, Gal Gadot, Pete Davidson, and Isla Fisher.

The production retains traditional wardrobe and props teams alongside 107 cast members, 100 shoot crew, and 54 non-shoot crew, with producers saying the movie would have cost $300M if produced traditionally.

AI Wraps 20 Day Liman’s Bitcoin Movie Shoot

Principal photography on Doug Liman’s AI-driven movie Bitcoin: Killing Satoshi wrapped after just 20 days of shooting in London last month. The entire production took place inside a custom-built “gray box” soundstage, a former car showroom wrapped in gray screen, with the filmmakers using no real-world locations throughout the shoot.

Producers from Acme AI and FX used AI to generate backgrounds, sets, and lighting in post-production. The film stars Casey Affleck as computer scientist Craig Wright, alongside Gal Gadot, Pete Davidson, and Isla Fisher. The film explores the controversial claim over Bitcoin’s (BTC) creation, unfolding amid global conspiracy and escalating danger as competing forces pursue the truth behind its mysterious origins.

How AI Cut the Budget From $300M to $70M

Producers say they slashed the budget from over $300M to $70M by using artificial intelligence to generate backgrounds, sets, and lighting, rather than filming at 200 real locations worldwide. The globe-trotting thriller would have required shoots in Antarctica, Antigua, and Las Vegas, with costs described as “unproducible” under a traditional filmmaking approach.

Producer Ryan Kavanaugh explained that the team budgeted the film practically first and realized AI tools could deliver 100% photo-realistic

Three reasons why XRP price could bounce back to $1.60



$XRP price rose 6% to a three-week high of $1.42 on Thursday, becoming the strongest gainer among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap.

According to data from crypto.news, $XRP ($XRP) price rallied to $1.42 on Thursday, April 16, with its market cap moving back above $87 billion and reclaiming the spot of being the 4th largest crypto asset in the market. The token still lies nearly 23% lower than where it began this year.

While hopes of de-escalation in the U.S. and Iran war have lifted the market sentiment, triggering a bounce across most crypto assets, $XRP price could specifically benefit from three catalysts over the coming sessions.

First, the most significant hurdle for $XRP has been regulatory ambiguity over its security status, a long-standing challenge that the CLARITY Act could solve. As such, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to mark up the bill for later this month.

The bill is important as if it clears this committee, it would formally codify $XRP as a digital commodity, moving it from permitted existence to protected legality. This would effectively remove the remaining litigation discount and provide a clear legal green light for major institutions to deploy capital.

Second, $XRP price stands to benefit from renewed institutional demand for the token while retail investors remain cautious.

Data from SoSoValue show that spot $XRP ETFs have recorded their fourth consecutive day of inflows for the first time since March, drawing in a combined $38.86 million within the period. This brings the combined assets under management for U.S. spot $XRP ETFs to over $1.25 billion.

Such steady accumulation from smart money often precedes a sharp move upwards when it absorbs the remaining supply of tokens held in exchanges, currently at multi-year lows.

Third, the toke

The United States has notified several European allies that previously scheduled weapons deliveries are expected to face significant delays, as ongoing military operations against Iran continue to strain American defense stockpiles. According to anonymous sources cited in a Reuters report, countries in the Baltic region and Scandinavia are among those most directly affected by the postponements.A number of the delayed shipments involve weapons procured through the Foreign Military Sales program, a government-to-government defense procurement arrangement that allows allied nations to purchase American military equipment. These items had already been contracted but had not yet been physically transferred to the purchasing countries when the delays were communicated. The White House, Pentagon, and State Department had not issued official statements on the matter at the time of reporting.The United States and Israel launched coordinated airstrikes targeting Iran beginning on February 28, a military campaign that has intensified pressure on American weapons production and supply chains. Defense officials have raised concerns that domestic manufacturing capacity may struggle to meet simultaneous global demand, potentially forcing the government to prioritize certain deliveries over others.This latest development reflects a broader pattern of mounting strain on U.S. weapons inventories. Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the escalation of Israeli military operations in Gaza beginning in late 2023, Washington has transferred billions of dollars worth of military assets to allied forces — including artillery systems, ammunition stockpiles, and anti-tank weapons — steadily drawing down its reserves.The compounding effect of multiple active conflict zones has placed unprecedented demand on American defense infrastructure, raising long-term ques

At least a dozen crypto entities attacked since Drift Protocol hack

At least 12 DeFi protocols and crypto businesses have been attacked in just over two weeks since the $280 million Drift Protocol exploit on April 1.

Attacks aimed at crypto protocols or companies since the start of April include CoW Swap, Hyperbridge, Bybit, Dango, Silo Finance, BSC TMM, Aethir, MONA, Zerion and, most recently, Rhea Finance and the Grinex exchange.

The Drift Protocol was hit with one of the largest exploits this year on April 1, losing around $280 million in a long-running social engineering attack suspected to involve North Korean-affiliated actors.

The attacks also come amid growing concerns this month that advancing AI models, such as Anthropic’s Claude Mythos and equivalent models, could eventually make it even easier for cyberattackers in the future.

QuickSwap has issued an urgent warning after its official Discord server was compromised by an unauthorized party, raising fresh concerns over security risks in crypto communities. The alert, posted on the platform’s verified X account on April 6, 2026, cautioned users to avoid interacting with any content shared within the server. QuickSwap Under Attack as “Unauthorized Party” Seizes Discord: What Users Should Know According to the team, attackers may be using the breach to spread malicious links, impersonate administrators, and promote fake giveaways or airdrops designed to trick users into connecting their wallets or transferring funds. QuickSwap emphasized that it will never send direct messages first or request funds from users under any circumstances. The decentralized exchange urged its community members to immediately mute or leave the Discord server and rely solely on official communication channels for updates. The team also confirmed that it is actively working to regain control of the server, with further information expected as the situation develops. Importantly, there is currently no indication that the breach has affected QuickSwap’s core protocol or smart contracts. This suggests that user funds remain safe unless individuals engage directly with malicious actors through the compromised server. Discord hacks have become a recurring issue in the Web3 space, often exploiting human error rather than technical vulnerabilities. As such, users are strongly advised to remain cautious, verify all announcements through official sources, and avoid clicking unfamiliar links during this period of heightened risk.

Ethereum Tests $3,900 Resistance as Market Turns Bullish
Ethereum is making headlines today as it approaches the $3,900 resistance level, showing strong bullish momentum. After holding firmly above the $3,700 support zone, ETH is attracting buyers and gaining strength. The recent move is supported by increasing demand in DeFi and staking, along with overall positive sentiment in the crypto market.
At the same time, institutional interest in Ethereum is also growing, which is helping maintain upward pressure on the price. However, short-term traders are taking profits near resistance, which is why ETH is struggling to break above $3,900 for now. This makes the current zone very important for the next move.
📊 Current Market Situation:
Ethereum is trading around $3,750 – $3,850, which is a key decision zone. A breakout or rejection from here will define the short-term trend.
📈 Price Prediction (Short-Term):
If ETH breaks and holds above $3,900, next targets:
➡️ $4,200
➡️ $4,500
If rejection happens:
➡️ Support levels: $3,500 – $3,600
📌 Final Insight:
Ethereum structure is bullish with consolidation. A confirmed breakout could lead to a strong upward rally, while rejection may cause a temporary pullback.
