A new documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, titled You Can See Everything and helmed by Nathan Fielder, has drawn attention through a deliberately secretive promotional campaign. Rather than revealing plot details, the marketing leans on withholding information to spark curiosity among moviegoers. Early signs suggest the approach is successfully generating buzz ahead of release.
The Toronto International Film Festival kicked off its annual lineup, featuring new work from Takashi Miike, Ryûsuke Hamaguchi, Werner Herzog, and a four-hour Elon Musk documentary. Among the festival's early standouts is 'The Only Living Pickpocket in New York,' starring John Turturro as an aging, technophobic thief navigating a city that has moved on to smartphones. The film hits theaters October 30th.
Documentarian Alex Gibney's new film 'Musk' debuted at the Venice Film Festival, offering an extensive, unflinching look at Elon Musk's business practices and personal controversies. Reports indicate Musk attempted to suppress the film, including allegedly offering ex-partner Ashley St. Clair $40 million to stay silent about her role in it. St. Clair, one of four women connected to the documentary, publicly disclosed the alleged offer to journalists at the festival.
A previously unannounced documentary about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, produced by comedian Nathan Fielder, screened unexpectedly at the Telluride Film Festival over Labor Day weekend. The screening caught festival attendees off guard and quickly became a talking point across both the tech and entertainment industries.
Nathan Fielder, working with documentarian Lance Oppenheim and backed by A24, has made a nearly three-hour documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, the Theranos founder now serving an 11-year prison sentence for fraud. The film, titled 'You Can See Everything,' premiered as a surprise screening at the Telluride Film Festival and blends documentary and reality-TV style filmmaking rather than presenting a straightforward account of the case. Holmes reportedly sought out the project herself before beginning her prison term, wanting her final days of freedom captured on camera.
