CBGB Rock ‘N’ Roll Movie (Country BlueGrass Blues) Enters NFT Collection “CBGB CGI” To Hit The Stage Mid-July
NFTs from the original CBGB movie are coming up in July for all you punk fans! The NFTs will be used to launch an animated version of the original feature film!
HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA, USA, July 21, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — cbgbcgi.com and cbgbnft.com. CBGB is a rock movie, released back in 2013, that became a worldwide cult classic starring Alan Rickman, Ashley Greene, Rupert Grint, Stana Katic, Malin Akerman, Johnny Galecki, Donal Logue, Taylor Hawkins, Mickey Sumner, Justin Bartha, Richard DeKlerk, Kyle Gallner, Estelle Harris, Joel David Moore and Freddy Rodriguez. The original filmmakers are releasing this collection of 21 animated characters as NFTs for the purpose of the holders being part of the animated version of the film to be called “CBGB CGI”. This NFT collection is unique in the sense that it is the first NFT movie to offer various benefits to its supporters along with a chance to be a part of the movie as well.
CBGB CGI will be releasing 12,000+ hand-crafted artwork NFTs (by the filmmakers themselves!) of which the first 1,000 holders can have their actual band name/or dream band name included on the large CBGB walls of the animated club in the film . At the Super Duper level, 200 people get a chance to be transformed into an animated version of themselves throughout the film (rock clubs need extras, why not make them our supporters!). On the Super F**cking Duper Level, CBGB CGI offers 21 high-res exclusive 4K GIFs made in museum quality. The animated feature film is slated for completion in late 2023 with a worldwide rollout in early 2024.
The creation of 12000+ NFTs is complete. The marketplace and website are ready to rock and they will begin pre-sales in early July with the Reveal Party Launch to blow out the speakers by July 28th. For those who don’t know CBGB: CBGB was a legendary rock club, and the birthplace of 50,000 bands and one epically disgusting bathroom. The original CBGB marquee is enshrined in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. CBGB launched the careers of some of the most influential rockers of all time such as The Police, The Ramones, Blondie, Patti Smith, The Talking Heads, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed and the like. This NFT project is owned by Film CBGB LLC (the same people behind the CBGB movie) and the artists behind the NFT art are the film’s director Randall Miller and filmmaker/animator Michael Davis. They plan to release the original 2013 CBGB feature film remade as a 3D animated feature film, which they call CBGB CGI (Country Blue-Grass Blues Computer Generated Imagery). Proceeds from the sale will go back to the original owners and talent and will fund the animation team behind the new version.
Music fans will be introduced to the music and history of CBGB, while creating value for all those who support this new CBGB CGI venture. This is not just a project about a collection of animated characters, but rather it aims to create “long-term value” and “benefit” for its NFT holders, and each of the NFTs has a smart contract behind it so that each purchases give the holder ‘utility’ through carefully cultivated metadata and rarity.
The project offers three levels to make participation more engaging: Super Level, Super Duper Level, and for the ultimate hardcore rockers, Super F*cking Duper Level.
1. Super level
This level allows the holder to purchase any of the 11,999 CBGB CGI character symbols on offer. Each of the NFTs is individually and artistically handcrafted by the filmmakers, and each one is completely unique. The first 1000 holders get to have their real band name / or dream band name (up to them!) on the wall of the CBGB club in the animated feature!
2. Super Duper Level
This tier offers 200 exclusive tokens. NFT from any of these will give the holder a once in a lifetime opportunity to BE IN THE MOVIE (as an animated version of him/her) along with the holder’s band name written on the wall of CBGB in the movie . This is a great opportunity for the punk rockers or NFT geeks to become an exclusive part of rock history! The holder of this NFT will also receive one of the 200 exclusive Golden Guitar Pick NFT hand-crafted character tokens.
3. Super F**cking Duper Level
This level offers 21 VIP, behind the red rope, super exclusive animated GIFs of the main characters of the movie. These tokens are outstanding 4k museum quality! These could be hanging at the Met in New York City! This exclusive club has bragging rights at a price. Special 21 will also have an opportunity to be animated in the film along with their band name on the wall of CBGB. These 21 characters feature the stars of the film: Hilly Kristal played by Alan Rickman; Lisa Kristal played by Ashley Greene; Blondie played by Malin Akerman; Cheetah Chrome played by Rupert Grint, and so on!
The embossing price varies according to the level:
• Super level: 0.5 Eth
• Super Duper Level: 5 Eth
• Super F**cking Duper Level: 10 ETH
But remember! Regardless of the level, the first 1000 holders will be able to add their band name to the famous walls of CBGB alongside Blondie, The Ramones, The Police, Television, The Dead Boys and so many more!
At CBGB CGI, the manifesto is pure unadulterated punk: “At CBGB CGI, we believe that storytellers and artists deserve an outlet where they can be valued and supported without having to bow to the machine of big media. So we’re flipping the model on its head and testing a new architecture using NFTs that can connect storytellers directly with audiences and essentially decentralize content production.”
CBGB CGI also emphasizes that the purpose of the project is to add value to the viewers, holders and fans. “We’re designing this so that our NFT holders will reap the financial rewards along with the filmmakers and the actors and everyone else. We’re all in this together — if CBGB CGI is a runaway hit, which we fully believe it will be , the whole community will prosper. And those who have a larger part of it, those NFT holders, will see greater rewards!”
There will also be monthly online meetings to connect the NFT partners with the animators and artists, and as when the animated CBGB is completed, the token holders will be the first to access the premiere. “Our intention is to shake things up in pure CBGB fashion. Enough waiting for a major studio with their bureaucratic pencil pushers to deem us worthy. We are CBGB CGI and we are ready to rock!”

CBGB is a feature film that follows the history of Hilly Kristal’s New York club from its conception as a venue for Country, Bluegrass and Blues (CBGB) to what eventually became the birthplace of underground rock ‘n roll and punk. CBGB CGI is the next step in the evolution of punk. Through the animation wizardry of filmmaker Michael Davis in collaboration with filmmaker Randall Miller, NFT token holders will have the power to transform the original CBGB into a newly animated masterpiece
