Filmax, a leading Spanish sales agent, has acquired global rights to the upcoming comedy “Hotel Bitcoin,” which is set to have its market premiere at the American Film Market in November.
The film’s synopsis promises a wild ride: “Hotel Bitcoin” follows four friends, 4,000 bitcoins, and a single laptop. In their quest to protect their fortune, they must navigate a whirlwind of parties, loansharks, romance, crime, and chaos. If they can just hold out in a hotel until Monday, they’ll find themselves on top of the world.
Produced by Ídolo Films, La Canica Films, and Golpe de Cripto, the feature showcases a talented cast of Spanish comedy favorites, including Marta Hazas (“My Fault”), Mauricio Ochmann (“Friends Till Death”), Pablo Chiapella (“The Night My Dad Saved Christmas”), and Alejo Sauras (“Estoy Vivo”).
Producers Bea Bodegas and Paloma Tejero expressed their belief that in today’s challenging times, audiences crave comedy. “We’re sure that ‘Hotel Bitcoin’ will allow viewers to leave their problems outside the movie theatre for an hour and a half,” they said. “This film is an ode to friendship—an outlandish thriller that guarantees a wild ride where boredom is not an option. The joy of making people laugh is what motivates many of us in this industry, and we’re confident this film will bring that joy to audiences worldwide.”
Ivan Diaz, head of international at Filmax, added, “This crazy, screwball comedy is one that we believe will travel very well internationally. Its timely context and hilarious take on the world of cryptocurrencies will resonate with global audiences.”
While “Hotel Bitcoin” won’t premiere until November, Filmax is already making it available to interested buyers.
