In the trailer of SwipeLily James is revolutionizing (for better or worse) the dating applications with Tinder and Bumble.
Time passes and the history of social networks continues to be written. Waiting The Social Network 2 And his new Mark Zuckerberg is the Tinder creator who will be entitled to his own biopic. Swipe (Swiped in VO), therefore, is inspired by Whitney Wolfe Herd’s journey, current founder of Bumble and ex-co-depth of Tinder. It is to her, among others, that we owe the flight of popularity of meeting applications for young adults.
This small revolution obviously involved many overflowswhich should also be the subject of Swipe. The film should thus follow the importance of the role that Whitney Wolfe Herd had in all of this, as well as his misadventures in his box. We think in particular of Sexual harassment business that she suffered, pushing her to leave Tinder in 2014. The businesswoman will be embodied here by Lily James (Cinderella, Baby Driver) and she seems quite convincing in The first trailer for the film.

All this leads to a series of dramas, then of legal proceedings that the film should undoubtedly highlight. If with regard to these first images, we appear Far from David Fincher level staging and precision, Swipe even seems to make the same observation on the advent of tech empires: either, to caricature, kinds of Boys sexist clubs with hellish internal affairs.
Directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg (Unpregnant, Valley Girl), Swipe Not intends to be a strictly factual story, but rather as a fiction freely inspired by the fate of Wolfe Herd. It will therefore also be necessary to be wary of the way in which he will turn things and in particular vis-à-vis his idealization of the creation of the Bumble platform, presented as the answer to Tinder when it is far from perfect too.
Whitney Wolfe Herd became, in 2021, one of the most Young billionaires From the world and if her legal fight is very serious, she also remains one of the greatest representatives of Silicon Valley. To see, therefore, if his portrait will be brushed with as much ambiguity as that of a Mark Zuckerberg at Fincher and Sorkin, but we can doubt it given the trailer.
