The comedy-horror anthology film ‘KillRoy Was Here,’ which was in talks to be minted as NFT since 2021, is finally up for exclusive release. Filmmaker Kevin Smith will be the first in history to release a movie in the NFT format.
The movie along with exclusive content from the film, commentary track and behind-the-scenes footage will be launched as a 5,555 piece generative art NFT collection on Secret Network’s primary NFT minting platform, Legendao.
Legendao will tie up with Semkhor and Curio, the premier NFT platform for entertainment brands to produce the ‘KillRoy Was Here’ collection. The NFT launch will take place in Q2 on the Legendao platform.
In other words, you won’t be able to watch ‘KillRoy Was Here’ unless you have the ‘crypto key’ that unlocks the film. Reportedly, Smith is also working on a “brand new chapter” of the anthology saga, with the NFT purchase giving you the exclusive rights to make your own KillRoy stories.
Smith and his producers Jordan Monsanto of SmodCo and David Shapiro of Semkhor collaborated to launch NFTs of their horror flick featuring a creature that kills evil adults at the behest of victimized kids. It’s a throwback anthology horror pic directed by Smith based on his and Andy McElfresh’s script.
This NFT release comes on the heels of Quentin Tarantino’s seven uncut Pulp Fiction scenes release. The NFT collection also had original handwritten scripts from the film and exclusive audio commentary from Tarantino himself. It’s fair to say, the entertainment industry is constantly evolving and soon NFTs would play a major role in digital content distribution.
While crypto enthusiasts believe NFTs will revolutionize everything from healthcare to entertainment, critics have raised concerns over its unregulated securities.
