“I don’t keep passphrases just lying around!” Well Go USA has unveiled an official trailer for an indie crime thriller called Cold Wallet, the second feature from Cutter Hodierne after his indie hit Fishing Without Nets from a decade ago. This “crypto heist movie” premiered at last year’s SXSW Film Festival and is being present by Steven Soderbergh. After losing everything in a cryptocurrency scam, a ragtag team of vigilante Redditors attempt to kidnap the kingpin who screwed them over. But when the home invasion takes a turn for the worst, they become victims in a sadistic game. The film stars Raul Castillo, Melonie Diaz, Tony Cavalero, Josh Brener, and Zoe Winters. Soderbergh states: “This smart, spiky, off-center take on the vigilante genre really kept me engrossed in a how-much-crazier-is-this-going-to-get way, which I love.” This looks like a wacky horror riff on “Roaring Kitty” – but with a twist that this guy has some tricks of his own.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Cutter Hodierne’s thriller Cold Wallet, direct from YouTube:
An intense thriller set in the world of cryptocurrency, Cold Wallet stars Raúl Castillo as a man whose life is ruined by crypto grifter Charles Hegel (Josh Brener). When he tracks down the man who ruined him, with the goal of kidnapping the “financial influencer” who screwed them over, all hell breaks loose. When their home invasion plan takes a turn for the worst, they become victims in a sadistic game. Cold Wallet is directed by filmmaker Cutter Hodierne, now his second feature film after making Fishing Without Nets previously, and many other shorts. He also toured with U2 for year as their “filmmaker on the road” before making films. The screenplay is written by John Hibey; based on an idea by Justin Staple and adapted into a story by John Hibey & Cutter Hodierne. Produced by John Hibey, Benjamin Wiessner, and Cutter Hodierne. This initially premiered at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival last year. Well Go USA will release Cold Wallet in select US theaters + on VOD starting February 28th, 2025 this winter.
