Joseph Gordon-Levitt is excited. He will play the role of Kalanick in a limited series on the rise of the transportation startup that will premiere on February 27th, 2022.
The show is named after the best-selling non-fiction book by a New York Times journalist. Billions is a series which revels in the pugnacious behavior of the super-rich. The trailer for Kalanick depicts the former CEO as the notorious bad boy of tech, with the words spoken by Uma Thurman, who is playing Arianna Huffington.
It's a case study of ingenuity and insanity.
The president of entertainment at Showtime said that the story of the ride-sharing company is rich in plot twists, one-of-a-kind characters and important implications for corporate America. Brian and David are the perfect writers to explore this business and the people who drive it.
The first season of Super Pumped will focus on the battle between Kalanick and the company he founded.
