Kurt Russell, Alexis Bledel, Beau Knapp, Luke Hemsworth, Jeremie Harris and Vincent Kartheiser are all set to star in John Stalberg’s indie money laundering thriller Crypto.
Crypto is a dark drama that’ reflective of changing economic times, described as a tonal amalgam of The Firm and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The story depicts the travails of a young anti-money-laundering agent (Knapp) who gets put on a case that’s not just close to home, but is literally at home, investigating fraud in his remote agrarian-centric New York hometown. There, the character’s father (Russell) and brother (Hemsworth) tend to a struggling farm. However, the case won’t just be a homecoming, since it will take him to places rooted in a new criminal underworld with a book-cooking accountant (Kartheiser) who carries out tasks for a sinister clientele, a shady art dealer (Bledel) and an investigator with a specialized expertise in cryptocurrency (Harris).
Jordan Yale Levine, Jordan Beckerman and David Frigerio will produce.
Crypto has yet to disclose its release date. It is currently shooting in New York.
