I think this actually looks great- i’m impressed with Amanda Seyfried’s performance in this trailer. The voice is spot on. I was super bummed when Kate McKinnon dropped out.
Although I found myself super distracted by the [size of William H Macy’s head](https://imgur.com/a/7UtdS2G). Too many prosthetics?
Maybe it’s because I’m just here from the Station Eleven thread, but I do not understand why the various Elizabeth Holmes projects didn’t fall over themselves to cast Mackenzie Davis, who looks more like her, can bring that slightly unhinged energy, and naturally speaks waaaaay closer to Holmes’ fake voice than any of the people connected with the part.
Her voice is too natural. Elizabeth Holmes voice was so forced she would literally startle people that were already in a conversation with her. She could never pull it off consistently, so after a break from speaking she would start a sentence very forcefully and people would visibly recoil. This is just like that Tammy Faye movie where they toned down her makeup because they thought it was over the top.
Wait, are they really making Elizabeth Holmes a scrappy underdog girlboss? That’s the vibe I got from this trailer at least LOL, perhaps the final product will be different.
I like how this show went from casting Kate McKinnon in that role to Amanda Seyfried… what an upgrade. Now I might actually watch this even though I know the story from the news. The rest of the cast is pretty amazing as well.
I was really looking forward to seeing Kate McKinnon in something more serious, but Seyfried is much better casting and I think will elevate the series. She was really good in Mank recently
I know it’s not possible to do the crazy eyes bulging out of her head but he isn’t doing the fake voice. The one that sounds like a parody of what a man would speak like in a cartoon.
I hope Disney does it correctly with Star this time and doesn’t put it with a delay with the US like they often do (often one or a few weeks behind for some reason…)
Show looks great, but the dead inside almost sociopathic feature of Holmes seems missing
Holy shit this cast is on fire! Hulu is really impressing me lately
Voice isn’t deep enough

That actually looks good
So is her deep voice in real life actually fake too?
The Conheads are gonna love this.

The deep voice somewhat sounds realistic to Elizabeth Holmes

Wow Sunny Balwani got a major upgrade in casting
Unreal. If you have enough fake confidence, went to a good school, and can speak well in front of a crowd, billionaires will just throw money at you.
I’m always skeptical about shows regarding dramas that are kind of ongoing (or happened super recently) but the trailer looks pretty promising so far.

That is quite the cast. Not sure I can process William H. Macy with an eighthead, though…
Looks terrific. If it’s even half as good as Dopesick it’ll be worth tuning in for.

Definitely intrigued by this!

The moment she starts doing the fake deep voice I was like “Ohhhh shiiiiiiit.”
This is gonna be good.

Definitely thought this was an AOC biopic based on the thumbnail lol

Looks good honestly. Just wanted like the more accurate mannish fake voice. Otherwise she’s doing a pretty good job it just needed to be deeper.
