Coinbase gears up to produce animated bore ape film trilogy

Bored app Yacht Club, the popular non-fungible token (NFT) project, is set to get its own movie trilogy, created by Coinbase, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges by transaction volume. Era Labs, the creators of BAYC, will partner with Coinbase to produce a series of three animated short films, with the film series titled The Daegan Trilogy. The characters in the series will be based on the exclusive bored app NFT and token holders are requested to submit their own character details, which will be judged and chosen by the Hollywood Casting Director.

According to the film’s website, app owners selected in the casting process will receive a license fee of $10,000 (approximately Rs. The license will be recorded on-chain and will continue in the secondary market with Apes. Submissions will be open until 11am PST (11:30am IST) on April 13th. The first episode will be released at the NFT.NYC convention, to be held from June 20 to 23.

Bored Ape Yacht Club said on Twitter that Mutant Ape Yacht Club would likewise be able to submit their apes for part two of the series. However, presentations will not be open to the Bored Ape Kennel Club.

According to the preface on the website, the film will be set in a “chaotic” midtown Manhattan in the 2020s, where “for the first time, digital goods and services have surpassed all other indicators as a measure of value in the market place.” ” The three-part film adventure will also include the Apcoin project.

Coinbase is handling film production through its media arm, led by William Swan, director of entertainment and culture marketing. The release will coincide with the launch of the Coinbase NFT Marketplace.

Furthermore, Coinbase also mentioned that although it is unlikely that they will profit from the film, any net proceeds will be donated to a non-profit organization. The company also said that the series aims to “reward and connect our communities through projects that bring to life the ethos of Web3: collaboration, transparency and opportunity.”
