The BlackBerry movie has been filmed and will tell the history of BlackBerry's rise and fall.
CTOnews.com, August 24 (Xinhua)-- BlackBerry, now out of public view, has launched a number of classic smartphones. The company achieved great success at the beginning of the 21st century, but eventually dropped out of the smartphone market because it failed to keep up with the times.
A new film directed by director Matt Johnson, which will tell the rise and fall of BlackBerry, is simply called "BlackBerry," about BlackBerry's Canadian parent company Research in Motion getting stuck in a legal dispute and losing market advantage to competitors such as Apple and Samsung. At the heart of the story is the business relationship between the company's co-founders Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie.
The film's cast is led by Jay Baruch (Jay Baruchel), although it has not been confirmed, but he is likely to play the founder of BlackBerry.
CTOnews.com learned that the film, which recently ended filming in BlackBerry's hometown of Canada, is based on the 2015 book "losing signal: the unknown Story behind BlackBerry's extraordinary rise and spectacular decline." the release date has not yet been announced.
