Emma Stone had a secret role in the making of You Can See Everything and her involvement is what helped pull off the film’s big twist.

The Oscar-winning actress worked with filmmaker Nathan Fielder on the 2023 Showtime series The Curse, which he created with Benny Safdie. Emma received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in the satirical black comedy thriller series.

Nathan had already shot the first half of the Elizabeth Holmes documentary when it came time to promote The Curse in late 2023. It sounds like he confided in Emma about the project and she helped connect him with someone who became the turning point for the film.

Emma Stone connected the filmmakers with Amanda Seyfried

In a new interview with Vulture, co-director Lance Oppenheim confirmed that Emma was the one who reached out to Amanda to connect her with Nathan.

“The two filmmakers had been struggling to get anyone else in Holmes’s orbit on-camera when Emma Stone, a close friend of Fielder’s, connected him with Amanda Seyfried,” the article revealed.

Amanda got on a Zoom call with the filmmakers and admitted that she was a fan of Nathan‘s work, so she was nervous that she was being “punked.”

If you’ve seen the movie, then you know that Amanda meets with the filmmakers to view the footage filmed at Elizabeth‘s house and offer her commentary after playing the Theranos founder in Hulu’s The Dropout. This meeting leads to her being further involved in the project, attending a meeting with Elizabeth‘s partner Billy Evans and speaking to her in a phone call from prison. She also portrays the prisoner in reenactments of scenes that weren’t caught on camera and are told from Nathan‘s memory.

Emma received a “special thanks” mention in the credits of You Can See Everything to give her credit for her help in making the film possible.

Variety reports that A24’s awards campaign will have an “acting push” with Amanda at the “center.”

It’s still unclear if Nathan Fielder will be able to submit for Best Actor or not.

A24 is also pushing for eight more categories: Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing, Best Makeup & Hairstyling, Best Production Design, Best Original Score, and Best Sound.
