This June 2, CANAL+ invites you to hit the road with Joseph Gordon-Levitt for a high-speed series: Super Pumped, the hidden face of Uber. Adapted from Mike Isaac’s super-bloated bestseller, The Uber Battle, it immerses us in the incredible fate of Uber, so.
SUPER PUMPED: THE DESTINY OF TRAVIS KALANICK
According to legend, the company emerged from the imagination of Travis Kalanick during a trip to Paris. From the top of the Eiffel Tower, this entrepreneur would have become aware of the difficulty of finding a taxi, dreaming then of a fleet of cars with driver that one could contact simply and quickly from his cell phone. A beautiful story in appearance… hiding a reality that is quite different!
Created by Brian Koppelman, David Levien and Beth Schachter (Billions), the 7 episodes of Super Pumped: The Dark Side of Uber revolve around the rise and dizzying fall of Travis Kalanick. We discover the Uber adventure through the point of view of this boss with questionable methods and a borderline and decried personality. A man wonderfully embodied by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who shares the bill with starred actors.
A 5-STAR CAST
While investor Bill Gurley is played by Kyle Chandler, Uma Thurman lends her features to the founding columnist of the Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington. In the cast, we also find Babak Tafti in the role of fundraiser Emil Michael, Kalanick’s right arm, Elisabeth Shue in that of the latter’s mother, while Hank Azaria is Tim Cook and Ben Feldman is Larry Page.
All narrated by the voice of… Quentin Tarantino! You will have understood it, Super Pumped: the hidden face of Uber has everything to make you spend a moment at 100 an hour. And fans get ready, since the anthology series will lift the veil on a second part dedicated to Facebook!
