Anthony Hopkinsā Interest in Nfts Began With his Movie Zero Contact
Hopkinsā interest in creating an art collection immortalizing his film career grew after the release of his Zero Contact film as an NFT on Vuele. Such was his interest that he even asked Snoop Dogg for advice before making his first purchases.
Vuele is a Web3 creative studio platform that allows the viewing and collecting limited-edition feature films and NFTs content.
In an interview for Yahoo Finance, Hopkins said āNFTs are a blank canvas to create art in a new format.ā He emphasized that NFTs allow for reciprocal sharing of artistic inspiration with others no matter how old they are.
āIām probably the oldest guy in the NFT community and on social media, which proves all is possible at any age.ā
According to Dave Broome, CEO of Orange Comet, the collection will be launched in mid-September on OpenSea. It will feature 10 of Hopkinsā most relevant character archetypes, such as Hannibal Lecter in āSilence of the Lambsā and Odin from Marvelās āThor.ā
The Collection Represents the Artistās Different Facets of His Film Career
Hopkinsā collection was built to let fans and collectors visually appreciate the many facets of the actorās career.
Orange Comet CEO Dave Broome said it was challenging to create a collection that stamped all the art Hopkins has done throughout his career.
āThese are high pedigree projects, and opportunities that will always sustain no matter what, and thatās what we expect here [ā¦] We think itās great timing actually because of the appetite for something of this high fidelity with this kind of an iconic talent. This is about IP, art and brands, and taking Hopkins as a both an artist and a brand to the world.ā
Those who attend the first day of the auction will be able to meet the artist in a welcoming ceremony and lunch and will also be able to take home an autographed Hopkins art book.
On the third day, 1,000 unique images will be auctioned, and 39 autographed Hopkins art books will be randomly distributed to buyers with an intimate view of his works and poems. In addition, 5 buyers will be selected to join a video call via Discord with the actor.
