Amanda Seyfried says role in 'You Can See Everything' was frightening
Amanda Seyfried discussed the challenges of reprising her portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes in the experimental film 'You Can See Everything', noting the experience was unsettling but rewarding.
Amanda Seyfried said that returning to the role of Elizabeth Holmes in the experimental film "You Can See Everything" was a frightening experience for her. The film, created by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, follows a reenactment of the period leading up to Holmes’ prison sentence for fraud.
"It’s important for me as an actor, an artist, I mean, a mom, of course, but as a person in the world who loves to work, to find things that I haven’t done before and to do things that scare me in a specific way," Seyfried told People.
She added that confronting a fear and seeing a positive impact from the work feels rewarding.
In the film, the disgraced Theranos founder invites Fielder into her home to document the month before her 11-year prison term begins, with the narrative continuing after Holmes reports to prison in Bryan, Texas, using reenactments for events not captured on video.
