Article Summary

  • 20th Century Studios debuts the first trailer for Swiped, a film about the creation of Tinder and Bumble.
  • Swiped explores the real-life tech drama behind the popular dating apps, featuring early app industry chaos.
  • The film is set for a Toronto International Film Festival premiere before streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
  • Swiped blends biographical storytelling with a sharp look at digital dating's messy, high-stakes beginnings.

This is something that we won't be able to say much longer; Swiuped is a direct-to-Hulu film that will be released later this year. It's another one of the semi-fictional retellings of a real event, and, in this case, it's the creation of Tinder and Bumble and how the apps came to take over the world of dating. Of course, much like The Social Network, the app boom was a lot like the dot-com boom in that there were a lot of ridiculous people running around with a ton of money who were likely in their early to mid-twenties on a good day. So, things got messy, as they always do, and getting into dating and hook-up apps is even messier. The 20th Century continues to be the Disney studio that gets shunted off to streaming the most, but you need to keep a steady stream of "I'm home on a Friday night and this looks like a good time, so why not" movies. The official trailer for Swiped was released along with a poster and three high-quality images. What is fun about this direct-to-Hulu film, and shows that Disney might have some faith in it, is the Toronto International Film Festival premiere.
