NFT Movie Starring Anthony Hopkins Shines At Cannes

May 19, 2023

Academy Award winning Anthony Hopkins starring Zero Contact made film history by becoming the first feature film to debut exclusively as an NFT.

The movie is now being offered for distribution in all 17 of the countries the film was produced in through its deal with Opus One Pictures at the Cannes Film Festival.

The US rights and theatrical release of the film were sold to Lionsgate for $1.2 Million plus a percentage of future revenue.

The two time Oscar winner Sir Anthony Hopkins himself is involved in the NFT space.

The British legend actor launched his first NFT art collection titled “The Eternal Collection” on October 14 and it sold out in less than ten minutes on OpenSea.

The story of ZERO CONTACT is expected to continue over the coming years with two planned sequels in the works, MetaWorks Platforms President Scott Gallagher commented.

Sir Anthony Hopkins is a known NFT enthusiast with several of his NFT avatars available on OpenSea.
