Scott Huver After months of near-total immersion in the facts and nuances of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes’ tale of big-tech startup fraud and fracturing identity to make Hulu’s acclaimed miniseries “The Dropout,” the convicted exec’s ongoing real-life story – she faces sentencing in September – still looms large in its creative team’s headspace.“There was already a point where I had kind of washed my hands of it. I had a moment after we finished shooting where I was like ‘Okay, well that was good – I’m done,’” star Amanda Seyfried told Variety at an FYC screening at the Paramount Studios lot on Monday.
“And then it creeped back in as we started doing press for the show, and then my interest was piqued again just after New Year’s she was convicted, of course, because Rebecca [Jarvis, journalist, executive producer and host of “The Dropout” podcast}) and Taylor [Dunn, the podcast’s co-writer and producer] were texting me as the news was coming in, and then It was a kind of re-emergence of interest. “I think it’s just because it was intense for me,” Seyfried explained.
“It’s never going to be as intense as it was for her, but I’m saying like as for our purposes of our story, I gave it my all and I had a really amazing time doing it and I needed a break, but yeah, I think about it often, like ‘What did you know?’ What is she inventing right now? What is she thinking about?”Seyfried’s co-star Naveen Andrews – who plays Holmes’ longtime lover and accused conspirator Sunny Balwani, who’s own trial is currently underway – confessed that he, too, can’t shake the story. “I can’t deny that having inhabited these people as characters, you’re now emotionally involved – I feel emotionally involved,” he said.
