Jennifer Garner Stars in Netflix Crypto Comedy
Jennifer Garner to Star in Netflix Crypto Comedy “One Attempt Remaining”
Netflix has announced a new original comedy feature, “One Attempt Remaining,” starring Jennifer Garner. The film will be directed by Kay Cannon, known for comedies including “Blockers” and “Cinderella.”
Garner is also set to produce the project. Producers include 21 Laps’ Shawn Levy and Dan Levine, alongside others attached to the film.
The premise centers on an ex-couple who, years after an acrimonious divorce, discover that cryptocurrency they won together during a wild night on a cruise has grown in value and is now worth millions. The story then turns into a race to regain access to the funds after the pair realizes they no longer have the password to the crypto wallet.
According to plot details referenced in the announcement coverage, the couple receives a message from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission giving them 48 hours to regain access to the crypto—described as $35 million—before the claim expires.
The project adds to a growing list of mainstream films and series using crypto as a central story device, but it also taps into a real issue in digital assets: access is often controlled by private keys or passwords, and losing them can make funds effectively unrecoverable.
- What happened: Netflix confirmed “One Attempt Remaining,” with Jennifer Garner attached to star and produce, and Kay Cannon directing.
- What the film is about: A divorced couple teams up to recover access to a crypto wallet they can’t unlock.
