Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins' first NFT art collection, entitled “The Eternal Collection,” has sold out in under seven minutes on NFT marketplace OpenSea.
The collection is a series of over 1,000 original art pieces inspired by the actor’s decades-long career in Hollywood, with visual nods to his performances in films such as Silence of the Lambs, where he won an Oscar for his performance as Hannibal Lecter, and TV series Westworld.
The pieces, with names like “The Eternal,” “The Jester,” and “The Lover,” are said to conceptualize “an interpretation of the vast character archetypes Sir Anthony Hopkins has portrayed” in his career according to the project’s marketing.

The collection stems from a collaboration with Orange Comet Inc., an LA-based NFT and Web3-focused design agency, whose co-founders include Hollywood producer Dave Broome, ex-NFL player Kurt Warner, and musicians Gloria and Emilio Estefan.
The launch was beset by some technical issues, however, and was delayed by over 45 minutes due to issues related to “high demand.”
Adding this milestone to the repertoire. Thank you, everyone. Thrilling day. 🧑🏼🚀🚀 https://t.co/GCX1OipJoA

Besides owning a piece of digital artwork, buyers are also set to receive the chance to rack up some real-world perks, including a one-on-one brunch with Hopkins, autographed physical prints of the artwork, and audio clips of Hopkins discussing the meanings behind the various archetypes.
