Nathan Fielder’s ‘You Can See Everything’ Is Headed to Space, A24 Says

Apparently, even astronauts aboard the International Space Station aren’t immune to FOMO over one of the year’s most talked-about movies. A24, the studio behind You Can See Everything, posted an image on Instagram Wednesday showing a scene from the film beneath what appears to be a cropped screenshot of an email with the subject line reading, “FWD: [EXTERNAL] NASA Request for Private Viewing.” “Request granted. You Can See Everything coming soon to @ISS,” the post’s caption reads. The announcement comes as the documentary has become a surprise box-office hit and cultural phenomenon. You Can See Everything debuted in U.S. theaters on Oct. 16, earning $15.6 million during its opening weekend. That made it the second-biggest opening for a non-concert documentary in history, behind only Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11.” The film continued its strong performance, becoming the number one movie at the domestic box office this past weekend. Through Sunday, it had earned roughly $64.7 million domestically. Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, the nearly three-hour documentary begins by following disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes during the 34 days before she started serving her federal prison sentence in 2023. Holmes, in case anyone needs a refresher, was once hailed as Silicon Valley’s next big thing. She founded Theranos, a health technology startup that promised to revolutionize medical testing with devices that could perform a wide range of blood tests using just a few drops of blood. At its peak, it had raised more than $700 million in investments and was valued at roughly $9 billion. But the company’s technology ended up being a sham. A Wall Street Journal investigation led by reporter John Carreyrou exposed serious problems with Theranos’ blood-testing technology and business practices. The company eventually collapsed, and Holmes faced federal fraud charges. In 2022, she was convicted of defrauding investors and sentenced to more than 11 years in prison. Her story has since been recounted numerous times in books, podcasts, and even a Hulu miniseries, “The Dropout,” which earned Amanda Seyfried an Emmy for portraying Holmes. But You Can See Everything has become a cultural phenomenon of its own. The documentary recently inspired a lookalike contest in New York City, where dozens of people dressed up as Holmes and Fielder. It has also been parodied on television and online, including by Jimmy Fallon and Jamie Lee Curtis on “The Tonight Show,” as well as by Daniel Radcliffe and Tracy Morgan. And now, apparently, the film’s popularity has reached beyond Earth. NASA and A24 did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
