Joseph Gordon-Levitt is brash and bullish as former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick in the trailer for Showtime’s “Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber,” which debuted on Thursday.
The series from “Billions” duo Brian Koppelman and David Levien and Beth Schacter (“Soundtrack”) tells the story of Kalanick, who was “one of Silicon Valley’s most successful and most destructive unicorns,” according to Showtime’s press release.
Kyle Chandler stars as his mentor Bill Gurley, the venture capitalist who funded Uber’s success.
“We are disruptors. We are kings, gods,” Gordon-Levitt declares in the trailer as Uber takes off. But when things start to fall apart and a colleague tells him, “I’m going to side with the company, ” he yells, “I Am the company.” In another scene, he threatens, “Disloyalty needs to be punished.”
We also see Uma Thurman sporting a wig, an accent and an attitude as Arianna Huffington.
