In an exciting development for both fans of romantic comedies and cryptocurrency enthusiasts, Jennifer Garner is set to star in Netflix's upcoming film 'One Attempt Remaining.' This comedy revolves around a divorced couple racing against the clock to recover access to their now-valuable crypto stash, which they've forgotten how to unlock. Directed by Kay Cannon, known for her work on 'Blockers,' the film taps into the real-world woes faced by many crypto holders who have lost fortunes due to misplaced or forgotten passwords.

The plot centers on the ex-couple who, years after their messy divorce, discover that the cryptocurrency they acquired during a wild night on a cruise is now worth millions. However, there's a catch: they've lost the password needed to access their crypto wallet. With only three days left before their account expires, they must retrace their steps from that fateful night—not just to recover their fortune, but also to rediscover the love that once brought them together.

Netflix made the announcement on December 11, 2025, and the film promises to blend humor and romance while addressing a significant issue in the crypto space. Many investors have faced a similar dilemma, with stories of lost or forgotten passwords leading to permanent loss of access to digital assets. One notable case involved former Ripple CTO Stefan Thomas, who lost the password to an IronKey device containing 7,002 BTC, worth over $645 million today. Another infamous incident involved James Howells, who discarded a hard drive that held the key to 8,000 BTC, now valued at around $738 million.

Garner is no stranger to Netflix, having previously starred in several original films like 'Yes Day,' 'The Adam Project,' and 'Family Switch.' In addition to her acting role, she will also serve as a producer for 'One Attempt Remaining,' alongside Shawn Levy and Dan Levine for 21 Laps, as well as Nicole King for Linden Productions. While a release date has yet to be announced, the film is already generating buzz among both comedy and crypto fans alike.

The film's premise resonates strongly with a growing audience that understands the complexities and risks of investing in cryptocurrency. As the digital asset landscape expands, stories of lost passwords and inaccessible wallets have become more common. Niels Zondervan, founder of Wallet Recovery NL, once noted that while most people have an inkling of what their password might be, few can pinpoint it accurately. This sentiment echoes the struggles many crypto investors face today.

Coincidentally, the announcement of 'One Attempt Remaining' comes on the heels of a less humorous crypto-related story involving Carl Rinsch, the director of '47 Ronin.' He was found guilty of defrauding Netflix by misappropriating $11 million in funds, which he used to purchase cryptocurrency and luxury goods. Rinsch faces serious legal repercussions, including potential prison time, further highlighting the complexities and challenges surrounding both the entertainment and cryptocurrency industries.

As the film gears up for production, it remains to be seen how 'One Attempt Remaining' will portray the often chaotic world of cryptocurrency while delivering a heartfelt narrative. The combination of Garner's star power and Kay Cannon's directorial expertise could lead to a unique take on a subject that resonates with a modern audience. Audiences can look forward to a film that not only entertains but also sheds light on the realities many face in the evolving landscape of digital assets.

With its timely theme and engaging storyline, 'One Attempt Remaining' is poised to capture the attention of viewers who appreciate both romance and the unpredictable nature of cryptocurrency. Whether you're a crypto enthusiast or just in for a good laugh, this film promises to deliver a blend of humor and heart, making it a noteworthy addition to Netflix's growing catalog of original content.
