The feature-length movie was produced entirely virtually during the 2020 global pandemic.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Anthony Hopkins Stars in Movie Launching as NFT<\/h2>\n<p>A new feature-length movie starring Anthony Hopkins will premiere on a new non-fungible token (NFT) platform, Vuele, according to an announcement Wednesday by several companies involved.<\/p>\n<p>The movie, called \u201cZero Contact,\u201d stars Hopkins, Veronica Ferres, Aleks Paunovic, Lilly Krug, TJ Kayama, and Martin Sternmark. Hopkins has won six Oscars, with the most recent win being this year for best actor in his role in the film \u201cThe Father.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zero Contact follows \u201cfive characters around the world connected only by their devotion to tech titan Finley Hart (Hopkins),\u201d the announcement details. \u201cThey are forced to work together to shut down Hart\u2019s secret invention, a machine that is either the solution to mankind\u2019s problems or the end of life on earth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The film was produced entirely virtually during the 2020 global pandemic. \u201cEverything about this film is unconventional, from the way we shot it using Zoom and remote production, to its distribution,\u201d Rick Dugdale, the producer and director, commented, elaborating:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>This project was truly a one-of-a-kind experience. We had to innovate at every step of the way, shooting in 17 countries around the world. It only makes sense for a film like this to continue to break new ground by releasing via the blockchain. It\u2019s a unique opportunity to be a part of history.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The NFT platform Vuele, formed last month, is a joint venture between fintech firm Currencyworks and producer Enderby Entertainment. It will be operated through a new subsidiary, Enderbyworks LLC.<\/p>\n<p>Vuele describes itself as \u201cthe premier direct-to-consumer, feature-length film viewing and distribution platform delivering feature-length films and digital collectible entertainment content as NFTs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The platform \u201cwill let users buy exclusive, limited edition films and collector content to watch, collect, sell and trade on the platform.\u201d Customers can pay with cryptocurrency or regular credit cards.<\/p>\n<p><!-- growjs zone placement 31 --> <ins> <ins class=\"growjs-placement\"><\/ins> <\/ins> <!-- end of growjs zone placement --> <\/p>\n<p>Dugdale explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Vuele will have four or five \u2018drops\u2019 of Zero Contact with the first likely in late July \u2013 early August. They\u2019ll include the film, plus extras still to be determined that would vary from token to token to create different price points.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe idea is to develop a marketplace for the NFTs,\u201d he noted, adding that this method of distribution \u201ccreates scarcity in copies of the film, and protects against piracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What do you think about Anthony Hopkins\u2019 movie launching as an NFT?
