AI said to me ; Yes, that's a real quote from Matthew Belloni's Puck newsletter ("What I'm Hearing: The Kimmel Fiasco," published around September 18–19, 2025).
puck.news
In context, Belloni is discussing Calvin Ayre (a gambling/crypto figure and associate of Craig Wright) in relation to some Hollywood-adjacent story involving Jimmy Kimmel. He parenthetically describes Wright as "the computer scientist who has claimed—falsely and repeatedly, according to a court and many others—to have invented Bitcoin under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto." The "(played by Affleck)" bit is a wry Hollywood-insider flourish, likening Wright to a character who might be portrayed by Ben Affleck in a movie—probably nodding to Affleck's history playing intense, obsessive, or anti-hero types (think The Town, Gone Girl, or his director roles in complex dramas).It's not literal casting news; it's Belloni's signature snarky style, framing Wright (often called a controversial or litigious figure in the crypto world) as someone dramatic enough for a big-screen treatment. The "non-crypto affiliated" part tracks—Belloni is a longtime Hollywood reporter (ex-Hollywood Reporter editor, now at Puck) who covers entertainment business, not blockchain.If you're asking because of the ongoing Satoshi/Craig Wright saga (the 2024 UK court ruling found he wasn't Nakamoto and called much of his evidence fraudulent), Belloni is just using it as colorful shorthand while reporting on tangential entertainment/news overlap. No actual Affleck project about Wright has been announced based on public info.

Your AI is either lying or hallucinating. First it's Casey and not Ben. Secondly its not shorthand flourish for style as the full text attached is clear. Thirdly the project is public knowledge. https://variety.com/2025/film/news/doug-liman-casey-affleck-pete-davidson-bitcoin-killing-satoshi-1236501408/
