Hollywood Meets DeFi: David Goyer’s Blockchain-Powered Sci-Fi Gamble

Blockchain just got its biggest Hollywood endorsement yet—Dark Knight scribe David Goyer is building his next sci-fi universe on-chain. Because nothing says ’futuristic’ like paying gas fees for alien NFTs.

The filmmaker—known for Blade and Foundation—is betting decentralized tech will revolutionize content ownership. Cue eye rolls from studio execs still counting their streaming residuals.

Goyer’s move mirrors crypto’s creeping invasion of entertainment: tokenized IP, fan-governed plotlines, and of course, the obligatory metaverse tie-in. Will it work? Maybe. But at least it’s not another superhero reboot.

One hedge fund manager yawned: ’Great—now my ape JPEGs can cameo in a B-movie.’ The future of storytelling? Or just another bagholder recruitment tool? Place your bets.
