Blockchain company tZERO has partnered with Vision Tree, to help the latter finance the upcoming “Atari: Fistful of Quarters” movie through tokenization.
tZERO, a subsidiary of Overstock.com, will develop the “Bushnell” token, in a nod to the center of the Atari biopic, Nolan Bushnell. The movie will be co-produced by Leonardo DiCaprio. Vision Tree will sell the tokens to investors to raise funds for the Atari movie. The plan has been in the works for
more than a year and they hope to raise up to $40 million. For reference, “Green Book”, which won this year’s Oscar for Best Picture, had a budget of $23 million.
Owners of the Bushnell token will also have a role to play in the movie itself, similarly to traditional share ownership. For instance, investors could be invited to vote on the movie trailer and some of the cast involved.
