Things We Saw Today: Amanda Seyfried Nails Elizabeth Holmes’ Deep Voice in The Dropout

Amanda Seyfried will be portraying Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced and soon to be sentenced owner of tech company Theranos. Holmes claimed to be developing technology that would allow people to get blood tested for medical purposes using only one drop of blood. It ended with everything coming down in one of the biggest cases of fraud.

Seyfried was always a really amazing choice for the role, and watching her slowly put on the voice was great, especially as it combines with her eyes getting larger and larger.

It does feel a little suspect that it makes Holmes seem like some genius fallen before her time, but we will have to see what the final product looks like.

The Dropout premieres on Hulu on March 3.
