ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING ACTOR ANTHONY HOPKINS' NEWEST THRILLER ZERO CONTACT TO PREMIERE EXCLUSIVELY AS AN NFT ON CURRENCYWORKS' VUELE PLATFORM
The premiere of Anthony Hopkins's new movie
Zero Contact
will be exclusively on Currencyworks Inc.'s Vuele platform.
Zero Contact stars Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins (The Father), and features acclaimed actors Aleks Paunovic, Veronica Ferres and Chris Brochu among its ensemble cast. The film was shot during the COVID-19 global pandemic.
Zero Contact follows five characters based all over the world and connected only by their devotion to the late founder and tech titan Finley Hart (played by Mr. Hopkins). They are forced to work together to shut down Mr. Hart's most secret invention -- a machine that is either the solution to mankind's problems or the end of life on earth.
Zero Contact is produced and directed by Rick Dugdale (Intrigo
Anthology, Recon), written and co-produced by Cam Cannon (USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage), production design by Tink, cinematography by Edd Lukas; producer, Peter Toumasis (Man on Fire, Domino) with an executive producer team that includes Dan Petrie Jr. (Blackway, An Ordinary Man), Dan Fellman (Logan Lucky) and Hakan Karlsson.
"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," said producer/director Mr. Dugdale. "It's a unique opportunity to be a part of history."
Vuele, powered by Currencyworks, is the first direct-to-consumer, full-length feature film viewing and distribution platform delivering feature films and digital collectible entertainment content as non-fungible tokens. Users will be able to become owners of exclusive, limited edition film, and collect NFT content which they can watch, collect, sell and trade on the vuele.io platform.
Vuele's use of blockchain technology and NFTs will allow it to not only reach audiences with its feature films, but also provide additional value-added content in the form of NFTs offering (but not limited to) behind-the-scenes content, bonus features, exclusive question-and-answer sessions, and memorabilia.
Enderby chief executive officer Mr. Dugdale commented on the new venture: "The film industry is always looking to break new ground to reach and connect with consumers. We're now taking that to the next level, and Vuele announcing that its first feature stars Anthony Hopkins is a real statement of intent."
Cameron Chell, executive chairman of Currencyworks, said: "For Vuele's very first movie to be featuring such a high-profile star is a major endorsement for the platform. Our blockchain platform and NFT capabilities are enabling our partners to explore new opportunities. Vuele is poised to evolve the direct-to-consumer entertainment distribution."
The Vuele platform is a joint venture between Currencyworks and Enderby Entertainment, which will be operated through a new subsidiary, EnderbyWorks LLC, which is owned 51 per cent by Currencyworks and 49 per cent by Enderby Entertainment. As part of the joint venture, Currencyworks USA entered into a technology operating and license agreement with EnderbyWorks pursuant to which Currencyworks USA agreed to provide NFT platform services in order for EnderbyWorks to develop and operate the Vuele platform. On July 6, 2021, Currencyworks USA entered in secured promissory note and security agreement with EnderbyWorks pursuant to which the company provided a secured loan of $3-million to EnderbyWorks. A total of $2-million will be provided within 10 days of July 6, 2021, and $1-million will be provided by no later than the earlier of 15 days after the first NFT auction or Sept. 30, 2021. The secured loan matures in three years and bears interest of 6 per cent per annum, payable on maturity. Repayment of the loan is secured by all of the rights, title and interest in and to all of the assets of EnderbyWorks, including, without limitation, all rights under the distribution licence agreement with 92 Films LLC with respect to Zero Contact. On July 6, 2021, EnderbyWorks entered into a distribution license agreement with 92 Films, pursuant to which EnderbyWorks purchased, on an exclusive basis, all rights in and to Zero Contact for a period of 10 years for $3-million. All sums actually earned and received by EnderbyWorks from the exploitation of the firm will be applied to EnderbyWorks' recoupment of all actual, direct, out-of-pocket, third party marketing and advertising costs and expenses (not to exceed $3-million with approval of 92 Films), to EnderbyWorks's recoupment of the $3-million; and all sums remaining will be paid 50 per cent to 92 Films and 50 per cent to EnderbyWorks.
