Anthony Hopkins launches NFT collection based on his films

Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins will be launching an NFT series, The Eternal Collection through Orange Comet.

The Eternal Collection is an exploration into the many facets of Hopkins' artistic virtuosity, according to Orange Comet.

The digital NFT series will also feature an exclusive once-in-a-lifetime event for collectors, giving them access to engaging with one of Hollywood's greatest icons.

Orange Comet has minted other collections from other prominent shows including The Walking Dead and Stan Lee’s Chakraverse.

The Eternal Collection conceptualises an interpretation of the vast character archetypes Hopkins has portrayed over his illustrious film career, drawing its potent energy from his prolific body of art.

According to Orange Comet, through a series of thought-provoking images and animations, this NFT collection immortalises Hopkins' diverse archetypal interpretations of 'eternal': the jester, the lover, the rebel, the hero, the ruler, the explorer, the sage, the creator, the giver and the magician.

Dave Broome, CEO, Orange Comet said, "When Margam Fine Art approached us with the artistic vision to bring Sir Anthony Hopkins' artwork to the metaverse, we knew this was a unique opportunity for the world of NFTs.

“This relationship is a superb symbiosis of technology and art from one of the finest actors and artists of our day. With Orange Comet at the helm, Sir Anthony Hopkins' artwork will inspire for generations to come."

Hopkins said, "As an artist, I am inspired by the power of art, music, cinema and the illusionary dreamlike quality of life.

"The metaverse offers an incredible opportunity to connect with an audience in an entirely different way. Taking my art to the next level, with NFT as my canvas, is truly an exhilarating proposition. I'm probably the oldest guy in the NFT community and on social media, proves all is possible at any age."

The elaborate NFT design and animations of The Eternal Collection, under the artistic direction of Orange Comet's chief creative officer, Dante Ferrarini and Hopkins, are set to captivate and connect audiences in unprecedented ways.

The forthcoming drop will be in partnership with OpenSea, the world's leading peer-to-peer marketplace for NFTs
