  "account": "The first glimpses of DC Studios' The People v. Gorilla Grodd suggest it will be just as humorous as a true crime documentary about a sentient gorilla created by the team behind American Vandal. The eight-episode series, hosted by The Daily Planet's Jimmy Olsen (played once again by Superman's Skyler Gisondo), investigates whether Gorilla Grodd was wrongly imprisoned for his father's murder. Gorilla Grodd, voiced by Jimmy Tatro and motion-captured for facial expressions, is played by an actor in a gorilla costume seen in set photos and videos. The production, filming at Georgia Institute of Technology, features Grodd attending Metropolis University, graduating, and singing with an a cappella group, among other scenes. Tatro can also be heard singing Backstreet Boys' \"As Long as You Love Me\" and \"Party Rock Anthem.\" The series also stars Beck Bennett, Mikaela Hoover, and Wendell Pierce, reprising their roles from James Gunn's Superman.",
