Had no idea what this even was, or what it was about (clicked on it solely for Amanda Seyfried) but by 5 seconds in, based on her posturing, outfit, facial expression and voice I was like, Oh...it's that Theranos chick...... Good acting!
My wife played the trailor next to me and I thought I was listening to Elizabeth. Then I turn to the screen, instant goosebumps. The voice has more than just the baritone features, there is much finer detail which I believe she nailed as you say.
Does nobody else find it weird that there are so many shows like this - about people who have mistreated so many people in full public view? First Inventing Anna, and now this. Netflix have made a TV show about Jimmy Saville now too - and that guy was pure evil. It makes me feel physically ill that after all the terrible things he did, discussion of his deeds now counts as entertainment. I mean I get it, bad people are fascinating, but shows like this frame them as misunderstood (I don't know about the Saville one, I'm not going anywhere near that). They make you empathise with them. This woman gave false hope to millions of terminally ill people, and now there's a TV show about her, from her point of view, played by an actress that everybody loves. Something's gone wrong here.
@@neelroy2918 buddy... if you knew what it took to create the machines that we have now, and the machines that came before it.. you would rightly tell Her to her face; that her machine is a fantasy. A lot of people in The Field were skeptical with her Machine, and rightfully so.. but they still supported her, up until The Point where they are CONVINCED. It did not work. The Problem was.. people like her, who gained influenced throughout The Process. Began to USE that influence to MUSCLE authenticity on her dud. The way people like her always do.. Legally.
@@neelroy2918 If we speak from a doctor's perspective we wouldn't need that many tests from a drop of blood, why would we need that many tests in the first place without the prescription of a doctor when u don't have any specific disease this is same scam as those routine health check up scams but with a better funding and no actual science.
@@neelroy2918 according to the book, some tests just require (or required at the time, 10 years ago) a bigger amount of blood which is then diluted and put under a laser to see how it reacts to a specific light. Her machine was diluting the blood too much for it to react correctly to the light.
@@loiracitr Thanks, my question to OP because they mentioned Science; I am little bit sensitive about it seeing as that it the last impartial tool we have. For a while I tried to find what would that machine offer, finally I found it. I will try to post link but CZcams does not like links. My main concern was this: would two drops of blood would be *always* be identical? Machines that measure sugar for example, measure what is present *at that time* . But if you were to do HbA1c, I am not sure one drop would suffice. Nor would for any test where average is needed, I would assume ESR needs it. But it is offered. How did she convince others? I am certain movie would not give that answer. They would only interested in heightened emotions and dumbed down science.
I like the way this trailer is structured. It starts out like a traditional "One Lone Visionary Against the System" biopic, before slowly revealing that the 'visionary' is just a duplicitous lunatic who can't accept they're wrong...
I read "duplicitous lunatic" thinking what a very curt description of a more complex character. But after pondering for a moment I can't find a more apt and exact description of her. Amazing that she was/is simply that.
I love that the series is like that too. It’s a slow burner, and it really does a good job of showing how delusional and emotionally disconnected Holmes is.
I definitely want to see Amanda reiterating Elizabeth's most famous quote "First they think you're crazy, then they fight you, then all of a sudden you change the world."
Maybe they will have Amanda walk around on a stage with the black turtleneck and do the TEDx talk that TEDx quietly took down from youtube in embarrassment?
@@seanraines5871 College dropout. They were taken in by her because there was so much "feminist-inertia" behind the irrational belief that a 19 year old woman dropping out of Stanford could accomplish just as much as Steve Jobs when he dropped out, Bill Gates when he dropped out, and Mark Zuckerberg when he dropped out. They wanted to believe that a woman could do the same thing so they all bought in because she talked a big game. It was all a lie.
@@paulcolburn3855 do I think a woman could do the same? Yes. Do I think a woman would actually have to work and know what she's getting into and do her homework first? Yes. Something clearly she didn't do. Con artist easy way out. 🤮
@@seanraines5871 The thing you have to remember is that Steve Jobs, Zuckerberg, and Gates, they all WORKED. They didn't just gather money and give orders, they actually rolled up their sleaves and worked. Well Zuck and Gates worked much harder than Jobs. Jobs wasn't technical. He was more about giving orders to Wozniak who was technical. But those 3 very young men, they listened to the people working for them and when the people said, "yeah this a great idea, but here are the road blocks" then they changed directions. Holmes never listened to her subordinates when they told her no. She just wanted to give orders. And if they still said it couldn't be done, she would fire them and then threaten them with a lawsuit if they spoke to anyone. That is not something that Zuck or Gates ever would have done (particularly to their most knowledgible people.) But she did. You also have to remember, this girl never had a boss in her life. Never. She never had a boss, never had to actually do a job in her life. And that was by design. She was never ever going to do a job because to do a job means to OBEY a boss. That was never going to happen. She figured that because she is such a sweet person with a sweet idea, she should just be able to order people to obey her or have them removed and well, that is that. Of course that was NOT that and her lies (the lies to secure all the funding) came back to haunt her.
She’s such a talented and underrated actress! I love her and I’m definitely watching this! Though the woman she plays is a sociopath, she’s going to do a great job. So talented! I hope this series shows the victims who got their lives put in jeopardy because the jury of her trial chose not to get justice for them.
@@alekshannibal1070 Elizabeth Holmes and her company Theranos. There's an Aussie podcast called Just The Gist who did an episode about it. Highly recommend
@@lozcb8790 Ohhh I just looked it up. I remember reading about her a long time ago. I thought the idea of using a small amount of blood was genius. Had no idea about the developments after that

Amanda really nailed the crazy eyes. The only thing I was scared of maybe they didn't do the voice but sure enough they did. This is going to be a great watch.
Is anyone else surprised to see Stephen Fry?! I'm rather impressed that he's involved in this series and seems to be playing a key role. I'd watch the series just to see him. I'm excited to watch Seyfried in it too!
The saddest part about this is if that technology did exist it would change healthcare and probably help a lot of people, it was a real shame she lied about it all.
@@js1817 well she was always popular, but only really started being taken seriously as an actor with her 1st Oscar nomination recently. She has constantly turned in good performances stuck doing young ingenue roles in meh mainstream films and turned to indie films nobody watched to show off her actual chops. That falls perfectly under “underrated” territory.

I like that they chose to call this the dropout. It successfully shows Elizabeth as unsuccessful. The name doesn't provide any glamour, just notoriety, and not in any positive way. If you're looking for a full story on this, read Bad Blood.
Looks great. I had a relative that was the Project Manager building scale mockups of a revolutionary freight airplane design. They built these mockups for trade shows presenting to investors all over the country. This company and design was the future of air freight!!! Our family even invested. After a couple of years the owners disappeared with everyone's money. Never built or intended to build a single working model.
Real people must be so much more interesting to portray for actors. Amanda should be very proud of herself for her work. From Mean Girls to now this?!! You go, girl!!!
While not having seen the Jlaw version yet, I assume that they casted Jlaw for her naturally husky voice. But here we see Amanda Seyfried’s voice change and even her practicing to speak deeper. Personally that’s a big step up for me cause it sells the image as a fake better, having an actress with a naturally levelled voice like the real Elizabeth Holmes.
This will be interesting. Amanda Seyfried is a great talent. I wish that she could have made her voice even lower though, to be more accurately ridiculous like Elizabeth Holmes’ voice.
Oh this is gonna be brilliant. From the moment Elizabeth Holmes' Theranos hit the news, a gut feeling told me that it was too good to be true. I had no evidence, just a feeling. And lo and behold, a couple of years later, she got found out.
Wow, they really churned this thing out in a hurry! Amanda absolutely nailed that horrible voice, William H. Macy looks horrible in that bald cap they made him wear and I am absolutely loving the epic shade they're throwing by calling the movie "The Dropout."
Another one? So Netflix and Hulu are both putting out the same story. Making her more famous than she ever dreamed of. Giving her exactly what she wants
Why would being just famous mean anything if you cant spend money on travel and food? Why put so much effort into being something for nobodies? Why so much pressure? What for?
Right!?!? I have no idea who he's supposed to be, but they got him looking absolutely clownish!! Poor guy; first his wife humiliates his entire family, and now this.
wow I might actually get a hulu account so I can watch this. Amanda's portrayal of Holmes is very done very well IMO. I also find it hilarious their making a movie on it since it hasn't been that long since this whole story happened??
The title is a bit meh, but I’d love to see her story in this drama. She had a lot of balls and I also wonder how she got to make that character with that weird voice
![Eminem - Houdini [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/22tVWwmTie8/mqdefault.jpg)
Her voice getting progressively deeper, love it
😂😂😂
thats because that girl that the movie is about, did that to her voice and dressed in black just for folks to take her seriously.
Had no idea what this even was, or what it was about (clicked on it solely for Amanda Seyfried) but by 5 seconds in, based on her posturing, outfit, facial expression and voice I was like, Oh...it's that Theranos chick...... Good acting!
Yep
I only knew when she started doing the voice. Lol.
At first I was like not creepy enough then boom, the weirdness and staring!
@@ctotheoleman Yeah, she nailed the "cray cray" vibe, including the speech pattern.

Looks like Amanda Seyfried nailed this role! Can't wait to watch
Amanda is one of my favs. This ought to be good.
Mine too!
Amanda will be terrific and the rest of the cast looks good too. But I've heard enough about Elizabeth Holmes for a while.
Too much is never enough
All I want to hear is how many years in the Fed she gets
The only thing left to hear about her is her prison sentence 😂
They need to throw her under the jail!!

She nailed it
Great, I saw the entire movie.

The Dropout was the original name of the published article and Documentary. Than it became "The Inventor ".
Cheers to Hulu for keeping it real.
