Description

Get ready for this biographical comedy-drama about the creation, success, and failure of the making of the BlackBerry smartphone. The Canadian film is directed by Matt Johnson (The Dirties) and stars Glenn Howerton and Jay Baruchel.

The fictionalized account follows co-founders, Douglas Fregin (Johnson) and Mike Lazaridis (Baruchel), and investor Jim Balsillie (Howerton). After massive success turning their initial prototype "PocketLink" into the BlackBerry and exceeding cellphone network limits, the company spirals out of control with the competitive release of the iPhone and disastrous rollout of the BlackBerry Bold. See how this company goes from occupying 45% of the market down to 0% in record time. Watch trailer HERE
