‘Killing Satoshi’ Bitcoin Biopic Starring Pete Davidson and Casey Affleck Set to Use AI for Locations and to ‘Adjust’ Performances (EXCLUSIVE)

Killing Satoshi may use AI to adjust performances and create AI-assisted backgrounds on a markerless stage for the Pete Davidson project.
Producers say AI is a tool to improve filmmaking efficiency while preserving actors' jobs, not to replace them.
The casting notice indicates AI may be used to tweak performances without creating AI replicas of voices or likenesses without consent.
The project is financed by Proxima in collaboration with Aperture Media Partners and is directed by Doug Liman with Nick Schenk writing the screenplay.
Acting talent will be real performers; officials said no AI-generated actors will exist in the film.
SAG-AFTRA and unions are negotiating on how synthetic performances may be used in future work amid the Kavanaugh-produced project.
The film is expected to go into production in the United Kingdom, with casting notices seeking supporting actors for a late-February to March window.
Killing Satoshi centers on the elusive Bitcoin creator Nakamoto and follows Davidson and Affleck in top billing.
The film is part of a broader industry discourse on synthetic performances and actor protections amid ongoing labor talks.
The director for Killing Satoshi is Doug Liman, with Dixie Chassay handling casting.
