At SXSW 2024, Cold Wallet, presented by Steven Soderbergh (Ocean’s Eleven), world premiered to the Austin crowd. This heist thriller from director and co-writer Cutter Hodierne (Fishing Without Nets) staked its space amid larger titles like Immaculate and The Fall Guy with a crypto spin and a beating heart of A+ performances from its cast.
Starring Raúl Castillo (Cassandro), Melonie Diaz (Charmed), Tony Cavalero (The Righteous Gemstones), and Josh Brener (Silicon Valley), Hodierne pitches Cold Wallet as “a crypto-heist thriller that follows a ragtag group of Redditors. They get revenge on a financial influencer who screwed them over in a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme.” In today’s perpetually online world, a heist flick like this seems like a ripe idea waiting to be plucked from the ether.
While promoting the movie at the festival, Hodierne, Brener, and Cavalero stopped by Collider’s interview studio to talk with our own Perri Nemiroff about the early stages of development, what exactly a “cold wallet” is, and loads more.
