Jennifer Lawrence on why she won't be playing Elizabeth Holmes in Adam McKay's Bad Blood: “I thought [Amanda Seyfried in The Dropout] was terrific. I was like, 'Yeah, we don't need to redo that.' She did it.'
Jennifer Lawrence is out of Adam McKay’s Elizabeth Holmes movie Bad Blood – and Amanda Seyfried is the reason why. In December 2021, it was reported that Apple was backing a feature film about disgraced Theranos founder Holmes with Lawrence attached to star. This before Hulu unleashed its own Holmes-centered limited series The Dropout, starring Seyfried as the notorious entrepreneur/scammer.
Scammers in general have of course become a hot subject for content creators in recent years, thanks to fiction titles like Inventing Anna and The Tinder Swindler and documentaries like Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened. But Hulu’s The Dropout may be the apex of the form so far, with its depiction of Holmes’ rise-and-fall as the head of Theranos, and Seyfried’s pitch-perfect Emmy-winning performance as Holmes herself.
Jennifer Lawrence Would've Been A Perfect Elizabeth Holmes Lawrence of course has received acclaim for playing real-life figures in the past, garnering an Oscar nomination for her performance as self-made businesswoman Joy Mangano in David O. Russell’s Joy. Thinking about Lawrence’s performance as the gritty and tough Mangano in that film indeed gives an indication of the qualities she would have brought to Bad Blood.
But though Lawrence certainly could play Holmes convincingly, she is correct in her assessment that there is no point in trying to follow in the footsteps of The Dropout and Seyfried’s performance. Thanks to the Hulu show and its star, a thorough examination of Holmes as a character has already been delivered.
