I this the same project Jennifer Lawrence was attached to?

The Theranos scam is absolutely fascinating. The way she was able to bamboozle seasoned, experienced business men is nothing short of impressive.

Horrible person, remarkable "achievements".

they're different, the project jlaw's attached to is an adam mckay movie

[false_hate]

Nah, that is the Bad Blood film with Adam McKay based on the book.

This is a miniseries based upon the ABC podcast.

Upgrade

Big upgrade.

I am assuming this is covering the actual come up of Theranos and then the expose. Amanda is more age appropriate.

[patchsassy]

It's the dramatization of the podcast, which was great: https://abcaudio.com/podcasts/the-dropout/

Ah! This was great! I'm looking forward to this - and now that I've read the comments, have realized I'm apparently in the minority that I think Amanda is an upgrade from Kate ooop

That's like going from prime steak to chicken satay. It's fine, but there's a lack of quality there.

Elizabeth Holmes deserves to be mocked and I feel like Kate would've done the job beautifully.

mte like wasn't there any other blonde they could've cast? i don't even wanna think how amanda is gonna handle the voice

[swifterland]

I really think kate could've done her voice really well

[lcganlerman]

well this is stupid.

[false_hate]

Hope she’s prepping for that contralto.
