Accordingly, aside from brief footage from her deposition, all footage of Holmes seen in the film is from archival material from before she was charged, most of it her own commissioned promotional video for Theranos. Alex Gibney remarked "She made the documentary she wanted me to invest in and I used it to a different purpose.

Having read the book, Bad Blood, written by the journalist who broke the Wall Street Journal story, and having been shocked and absolutely disgusted by Holmes and Sunny, I found this to be oddly lighthearted and unfocused. It skipped so much of what made the story truly horrifying and would have benefited from being extended in a format such as Wild Wild Country.
Maybe not quite to that length, but a deeper look would have been so fascinating, especially with the addition of the film. I would still encourage you to view it, though, if you are not well read on the case. Not horrible, but I was disappointed. Details Edit. Release date March 18, United States. United States. Technical specs Edit. These early filmmakers found a workaround in the form of a delicious confection: chocolate syrup.
Alfred Hitchcock used chocolate syrup during the filming of Psycho because it had the right consistency, especially for the shower scene. George A. When film moved away from black and white to color, filmmakers had new challenges to face: not only did the blood have to have the right consistency, now it had to have the right color, too. Early Technicolor horror films, such as The Curse of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula utilized blood splatter, but the blood was a very vibrant color and almost cartoonish in its brightness.
And given the premise of the film, the fake blood also needed to be safe for consumption. Today, it is often used as a generic term for stage blood.
Kubrick specifically used Kensington Gore in The Shining. Kensington Gore really set the standard for fake blood made with a sugary syrup base with food dye. He put his own twist on the syrup-based blood with the addition of methylparaben, a preservative. However, this is also what makes the recipe poisonous, therefore making it unsuitable for any application where ingestion may occur. Ehler red and yellow pigments are not available anymore, so some recipes will add Zinc and use red and yellow food dye instead.
Another way to make a less toxic, edible blood is to go the Sam Raimi method. This film is based on a comic book. So the blood had to be vibrant and comic-booky, but not comically fake.
It pulls this balance off nicely. For comedic films with tongue-in-cheek meta humor, it is often appropriate to intentionally select a color that actually looks fake. Reportedly, David Fincher is very particular about his fake blood. The violence is graphic and visceral, even during slapstick moments.
So Fincher and his makeup team went with a dark shade of crimson, which feels as gritty and realistic as the tone. In fact, you can choose any color that relates to the physicality of the character, as long as it fits your tone. Especially that black-green goo-blood dripping from his mouth. And this movie had Happy Meal tie-in? Although it may seem like a small choice, the color of fake blood is crucial for selling the tone and believability of a scene. As you move through pre-production , it will be important to plan out all of your special makeup effects.
