But Hollywood wouldn’t touch something this dry unless it could promise at least a little frottage.

Jennifer Lawrence has been attached to play Holmes in a movie based on Wall Street Journal reporter John Carreyrou’s Theranos expose Bad Blood since 2016, and Oscar-winning director Adam McKay ( Vice) is making it his next project.

I barely managed to register how puzzling it was that an entrepreneur in the middle of changing the world hadn’t even tried the world-changing thing herself. She said no, and then reeled off a string of Silicon Valley speak that swirled capitalism and punk purity all in one gaslighting fog. At one point, I asked if she’d taken any of Theranos’ tests herself. There were no surprises, though, when it came to her canned answers.

She also had a bizarre demeanor, like a hostage trying to communicate in code one moment-then again, maybe I just thought that because each blink seemed so rare and therefore important-and in the next like a person who was about to throw me a surprise party and could barely keep from laughing. Her voice, low and throaty, seemed concocted, like she was imitating a man imitating Kathleen Turner. Her Steve Jobs turtleneck nearly swallowed her chin. She rarely blinked her bloodshot blue eyes. The unnerving physical attributes that have been mentioned in the recent deluge of Theranos-related press were all on display. Holmes had graced the cover of Fortune and Forbes, billed as the youngest female self-made billionaire (her 50 percent share of Theranos was once estimated at $4.5 billion). I interviewed Holmes for Elle in May 2015, when her credibility was still as high as Theranos’ stock. They saw their hard-nosed business ethos imprinted, not on another hopeful young man but an attractive bottle-blond white woman. Results were then released to the unsuspecting public so they could be “empowered” to make totally ill-informed health decisions. None of that stopped Theranos from collecting blood at Walgreens and testing it with an unreliable combination of the Edison and traditional machines utilized by Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp, the very competitors it was trying to make obsolete.

Sounds great, right? Access to your own health status (that you’re not qualified to interpret)! Cut out the middle person (in this case, a highly trained M.D.)! The problem was the Edison was a blood-splattered malfunctioning nightmare one Theranos whistleblower in The Inventor recalls worrying that it might puncture her skin with a tainted pipette if she reached inside to fix it. The pitch: At your local Walgreens (the first big business to partner with the startup), more than 200 medical conditions could be tested using just a few drops of blood, all processed by a little printer-looking machine called the Edison. Take the clueless arrogance of Kendall Jenner’s Pepsi commercial and imagine it as a “revolutionary” medical business espoused by President Bill Clinton and financially backed by, of all people, war criminal Henry Kissinger, and you have something like Theranos. The lionizing of Holmes and the extremely long leash Theranos was given to test its janky (at best) technology on actual living people are the catastrophes that happen when millennial influencer culture meets old-school male hubris. First, Netflix and Hulu delivered competing dives into Billy McFarland’s disastrous Fyre Festival, and on Monday night, HBO premiered The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley, Alex Gibney’s eerie examination of the downfall of Theranos, the blood-testing startup founded by Stanford dropout Elizabeth Holmes at age 19. This year has gifted us with a trio of documentaries about con-artist millennials.
