What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA new documentary called You Can See Everything has a mystery guest star, and the New York Post says the film wouldn't be the same without her.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIs it a spoiler if the Post already printed it?

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt's Amanda Seyfried, back as Elizabeth Holmes, the role that won her an Emmy on The Dropout.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe film is directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA reunion!

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorVariety says she turns up about halfway through, after Holmes is already incarcerated, when Fielder recruits her for her take on his odd interactions with Holmes.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe documentary covers the thirty-four days before Holmes begins an eleven-year prison sentence, and Variety says Seyfried ends up reenacting moments the filmmakers couldn't get on camera.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the real footage ran out and they cast the Emmy winner. That's what I'd call a creative solution.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd Christopher Abbott plays Billy Evans, who in one scene demands to be paid for taking part in the documentary.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAn actor is paid to play a man demanding to be paid?

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe Daily Beast critic Barry Levitt says she's remarkable, arguably better than The Dropout.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAsked if she kept up with the story, Seyfried said, quote, on and off.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorShe also said Elizabeth Holmes is getting out this year. I'd call that a cliffhanger, and the film is nearly three hours.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNearly three hours, and the best part is the one we just ruined by eight-thirty Eastern.
