The film company Red Granite Pictures has announced a collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) based on the film “The Wolf of Wall Street” directed by Martin Scorsese. Bloomberg reports this. “This is a way to protect the intellectual property of the film,” said Red Granite Pictures CFO Randy Herrmann. NFTs will sell for $100 or more. Their owners will become members of an online community where they can communicate with like-minded people, purchase props from the filming and vote on topics that could become the basis for sequels and spin-offs. The company expects tens of thousands of people who want to purchase collectible tokens based on the film. Themed parties and other offline events are also planned for members of the online community. On April 10, Red Granite Pictures received a preliminary court order banning more than 150 websites from selling merchandise that infringed the film's intellectual property rights. The company plans to donate proceeds from the sale of the NFT collection to charity to support young filmmakers, help women and minorities on Wall Street, and teach financial literacy. The list of such organizations has not yet been determined. Released in 2013, The Wolf of Wall Street grossed $392 million worldwide on a budget of $100 million. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie and Jon Bernthal. Let us remind you that in October 2022, the film company Warner Bros. launched the WB Movieverse Web3 initiative, within which it opened NFT trading for the film “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.” In September, director Quentin Tarantino and Miramax studio agreed to settle a lawsuit regarding a collection of tokens based on “Pulp Fiction.” Previously, a collection of 1,000 NFTs from Hollywood actor Anthony Hopkins sold out on the OpenSea marketplace in less than 10 minutes.
