Super Pumped: Uma Thurman will be Arianna Huffington

Uma Thurman come Arianna Huffington. The actress, to whom television has given way to usher in a new era in her professional life, has been chosen to play the historical founder of theHuffington Post in the latest Showtime series. Super Pumped, adaptation of the book of the same name written by Mike Isaac, will not, however, be an excursus on digital journalism. The show, in anthological form, will be the reconstruction of what Uber is and has been, from the beginnings of start-ups to the consecration as a new and modern transport company.

Uma Thurman, therefore, will impersonate Huffington in her being part of the board of Uber, but the lead role, that, will leave him to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, chosen as the face of Travis Kalanick. He will be the co-founder of the platform, along with his mentor, Bill Gurley (Kyle Chandler), to represent the heart of Super Pumped, conceived to be able to tell, from season to season, the ups and downs of Silicon Valley through corporate cases that are emblematic of it. “We have been dreaming of working with Uma Thurman for a long time and we are thrilled to have found the perfect role in Arianna Huffington to bring all her complexity as an actress, her intelligence and her magnetic charm,” said Amy Israel, vice president. by Showtime, explaining how Super Pumped is intended to “define our cultural context” and, at the same time, “offer high quality entertainment”.
