Anthony Hopkins' first NFT collection.

Posted by luba66 Lyubov Sultanova on August 19, 2022 - 12:26pm Edited 8/19 at 12:29pm


The project, titled "The Eternal", includes three issues based on a set of 10 digital animations by Hopkins, digitally reproduced as interpretations of various Jungian character archetypes that the actor has portrayed throughout his career.  The project also includes aspects of Hopkins' work as an artist.

 The tentative release date is September 16 on OpenSea.

 The project takes its name from the classic, enduring collection theme archetypes that Hopkins worked on with the Orange Comet Web3 studio team.

 "NFT is a blank canvas for creating art in a new format," Hopkins told reporters during an online press conference.

 According to 84-year-old Anthony Hopkins, the metaverse "offers an incredible opportunity to communicate with the audience in a completely different format."

 "I'm probably the oldest person in the NFT creator community and on social media, which proves that anything is possible at any age," the actor added.

 Animations that feature hyper-realistic digital renderings of Hopkins' face include the archetypes of:
 hero,
 Rebel
 Wizard,
 sage,
 ruler,
 explorer,
 Lover
 Creator
 Donor and
 Joker.

 10 animations from 30 to 45 seconds in length.  Each of which will include a separate release of 100 PFP variations of their specific Jungian character theme, for a total of 1000 NFTs per PFP part.

Orange Comet will also be auctioning off a special 1 of 1 NFT, a unique edit of all 10 character animations combined into one.  Hopkins will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the work to a charity of his choice.

 All three levels of the collection - 1 of 1 Iconic NFT, 10 Legendary Animations and 1000 Outstanding PFPs - will have different utility, such as:
 IRL events (including one-on-one brunch with Hopkins),
 Physical prints autographed by NFT artwork and
 Exclusive audio clips of Hopkins discussing archetypes in meetings with the Orange Comet team.

 “When Margam Fine Art approached us with the artistic vision to bring the work of Sir Anthony Hopkins into the metaverse, we knew this was a unique opportunity for the NFT world,” said Orange Comet CEO Dave Broom in a press release shared with nft now.  "This relationship is the perfect symbiosis of technology and art from one of the finest actors and artists of our day."

 The collection of octogenarian Sir Anthony Hopkins is a MESSAGE... About overcoming your fears and hesitations for the sake of art**.**

 “Try everything,” Hopkins continued.  "Any age.  Don't be limited by age.  You can do that.  Nothing to gain, nothing to lose.  Just do it." When asked which archetype in the collection he feels closest to, Hopkins quickly responded by saying that Rebel speaks to him the most.

 "I've been a rebel all my life," Hopkins explained.  “I have always been an outsider.  I feel like some other author wrote the story of my life."

Hopkins' choice of the rebel archetype is fitting, as the Orange Comet team used Hannibal Lecter, the actor's most recognizable character, as inspiration.

 Notably, the upcoming collection is not the actor's first involvement with the NFT community.  In June, Hopkins tweeted that he was interested in exploring the NFT space and asked for advice from Snoop Dogg, Jimmy Fallon and Reese Witherspoon on where to start.  Several big names in the NFT ecosystem reacted to the tweet, including Beeple, and the famous actor ended up buying stuff from Nyla Hayes, Brendan Murphy, and Danny Cole.

 Hopkins also appeared in Zero Contact last year, which entertainment distribution platform NFT Vuele released as NFT, a process the actor says helped pique his interest in the technology.

 Hopkins, who turns 85 later this year, was characteristically modest about the process that led to the project.

 “The idea came from somewhere out of the fog,” Hopkins said.  “I came up with the idea of ​​psychological Jungian types because I felt them in myself.  That's how I was taught.  In all creativity there is an element of mystery which I do not understand;  I don't pretend.  I think it's in us if we have the courage or the desperation or the energy to just do it."

 P.S. The idea of ​​the post is not to tell you about the next hype project... The idea is to show:
 - firstly, at any age it is really possible to move in the stream of modernity, and since Anthony, at 84, is able to ride a beast called Web3 and NFT, then each of my subscribers is definitely up to it;
 - secondly - NFT is a completely new way of interacting with fans for creators and their clients for business.  This is a blue ocean of opportunities to expand the zone of business influence on a global level.
