JLaw drops out of Elizabeth Holmes movie Bad Blood after watching Amanda Seyfried in The Dropout

[babarsuhail]

Jennifer Lawrence will no longer star as Elizabeth Holmes in Adam McKay's BAD BLOOD, she told me. She came to that conclusion after watching Amanda Seyfried play Holmes in "The Dropout": "I thought she was terrific. I was like, 'Yeah, we don't need to redo that.' She did it."

Was she really that great? This makes the 3045th review where they said Amanda Seyfried killed it at that role. I might just watch it, if she is that good.

[thispaintedlife]

she's so good in it, highly recommend watching just for her performance alone.

[babarsuhail]

She won an Emmy for it.

[vespertinev]

that doesn't really mean a lot nowadays

[drnilescrane]

I def loved Amanda beforehand but it really was outside of her 'box', but I realized she's been outside of it for a while. This did what Mank didn't do for her, it really showed how strong she is in a show that would be solid without her.

I'm also lowkey salty that she isn't Glinda in Wicked.

She is very good in it but the show as a whole is kinda forgettable.
I found the documentary more compelling and John Carreyrou's book on Theranos is amazing (I was obsessed with this story).

Also obsessed! I have watched so many docs about this. Ha grift was immaculate.

Okay guys I’m watching it!!!

[thatcovergirl]

She is amazing and believable as fuck.
The real lady should be lucky she got Seyfried to play her!

She has the range!!

Also…. Do rich white people just go around scamming other rich white folk?

How did everyone fall for this?
She’s clearly unqualified. I know this was 2004 but damn?!

Even with all the Halloween imagery around in the last month, this gif spooks me the most.

BLINK, DAMNIT.

[colorfilm]

yes she even nailed that girls mouth movements/mannerisms it was eerie

[hoodoo]

tbf i was stuck in bed rest and that's why i watched it in like two days but she is tremendous and just....eerie as hell. the series is done very well too.

[mulholland]

Yeah she killed it

[jinxeh13]

I was so surprised. It was great!

I took my husband to see Mean Girls on the big screen a few years ago because a local theater was doing a special event and he had never seen it. He loved it.

We got almost to the end of The Dropout before he was like, "...wait. I know her. Wait...HOLY SHIT!!!" Lmao.
