Clerks director Kevin Smith is getting in on the NFT craze – in a big way.
Smith has launched an NFT business called ‘Jay & Silent Bob’s Crypto Studio’, which is releasing non-fungible ‘Smokin’ Tokens’.
Some tokens include exclusive artwork, passes to a sneak preview, or even a cameo in the upcoming Clerks 3 – which includes a storyline about cryptocurrencies.
But the rarest and most expensive token gives the buyer the exclusive rights to stream and distribute Smith’s upcoming horror anthology Killroy Was Here – including the movie’s “actual hard-drive files”.
Do you understand the NFT thing? Have you bought any? Do you really need an NFT for exclusive film rights – wouldn’t an ordinary contract work?
