Actor Anthony Hopkins was one of the first major Hollywood stars to get into the NFT film space. The storied thespian now appears ready to to dive deeper into the NFT world, sharing his Ethereum Name Service (ENS) name and asking fellow celebrities for art picks.
Today, the Oscar-winning “The Silence of the Lambs” thespian changed his Twitter display name to AHopkins.eth, an ENS name that points to a crypto wallet. It's a common move for people in the NFT and crypto world, adopted by other public figures who are in the space like comedian and TV host Jimmy Fallon.
Along with his updated Twitter profile, Hopkins tweeted to Fallon and fellow Web3-savvy celebrities—rapper Snoop Dogg and actress Reese Witherspoon—for their recommendations on NFT artwork to purchase.
“I’m astonished by all the great NFT artists. Jumping in to acquire my first piece, any recommendations?” he tweeted, tagging all three entertainment industry colleagues.

Fallon responded first, writing: “I love your pondering photo. There [are] a bunch of great artists out there and it’s a fun community in general. But, as the great Aaron Neville once said ‘I don’t know much - but I know I love you.’ And that may be all you need to know. DM me.”
Hopkins’ tweet has yielded thousands of other engagements. Reactions from Twitter users include excited NFT enthusiasts seeing another high-profile entertainer explore the space, along with crypto critics mocking or attacking the actor for showing interest in the space.
Decrypt's Stephen Graves heads to the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, where he sits down with Leo Matchett of Decentralized Pictures, the Roman Coppola-backed nonprofit using crypto and blockchain voting to find, fund, and produce films.
An NFT works like a proof of ownership to an item, and often represents digital goods such as artwork, collectibles, and video game items. The film and music industries are increasingly adopting NFT technology, with both established artists and emerging creators in each space.
Hopkins’ film project “Zero Contact” was released last year via Vuele, a platform that releases film projects in the form of NFTs. Vuele bundles films with additional behind-the-scenes content, along with exclusive interactive opportunities such as Q&A sessions.
Notable filmmakers such as Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino have also made moves in the NFT space.
The release date and first trailer have been released for Zero Contact, a sci-fi film starring Anthony Hopkins that's being distributed as a non-fungible token (NFT). NFTs are cryptographically unique tokens that can be linked to digital content, such as artwork, music, or in this case, a film. Hopkins' follow-up to his Oscar-winning turn in The Father finds him playing tech billionaire Finley Hart, who posthumously sets five people around the world the task of preventing a "globe-killing disast...
The ENS name AHopkins.eth was apparently purchased in May, but the wallet associated with the ENS name has yet to purchase any additional NFTs. However, since Hopkins advertised the wallet address via his Twitter name, it has been sent a couple of NFT images from random users—a common occurrence with wallets from celebrities and brands.
Snoop Dogg is a notable NFT collector who owns images from the Bored Ape Yacht Club and other projects. He has also released NFTs himself, including in partnership with The Sandbox and the creator of the Nyan Cat meme. Snoop Dogg has also claimed to be Cozomo de’ Medici, a pseudonymous NFT collector with a very valuable collection.
Fallon is an owner of NFTs in valuable, high-profile collections like the Bored Ape Yacht Club and Moonbirds. Witherspoon has advocated for Web3 tech and her Hello Sunshine studio is developing TV and film projects based on the World of Women NFT collection.
An officially licensed “The Walking Dead” role-playing game based on the popular TV show will be shut down after July 31, according to blockchain game publisher Gala Games. The Walking Dead: Empires, a multiplayer survival game that was built around Ethereum NFTs, was playable in open beta for the last year after first being announced in late 2021. “After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to sunset The Walking Dead: Empires, with the last playable date set for July 31,...
FIFA Collect, the official digital collectibles platform for the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) soccer organization, will migrate to its own Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible FIFA blockchain—leaving behind Algorand in the process. Scheduled to occur no sooner than May 20, the migration away from Algorand does not require any immediate action from FIFA Collect users or NFT owners. “As FIFA Collect evolves, we are migrating the platform to the FIFA Blockchain, an...
A crypto-fueled twist on the Sega IP Sangokushi Taisen (aka Battle of the Three Kingdoms) is set to launch next week, developer Double Jump Tokyo announced on Friday.

Launching on Wednesday, April 30, the strategic card battler KAI: Battle of the Three Kingdoms will be available in early access on PC and mobile. Prior to this launch, a three hour PC browser-only “l...
