Everything we know about the BlackBerry movie
BlackBerry is one of the clear examples that comes to mind when we say that “taller towers have fallen”. And it is that what was one of the leading mobile brands back in the early 2010s, suffered a spectacular decline with the arrival of Android and the rise of the iPhone. They all killed her and she died alone , but now she wants to come back to tell her story about her. We already have some details about the BlackBerry movie on the table and like many techies that we are, we are looking forward to seeing it.
What we know about the BlackBerry movie
The BlackBerry movie will tell the story of Research in Motion , the Canadian company that at one point led the smartphone market and that in just a few years saw its entire empire fall because of names like Apple or Samsung. Its name will be simply BlackBerry and it will be directed by Matt Johnson , who we have already seen at the helm of the directing baton in movies like Operation Avalanche.
The cast will be headed by Jay Baruchel and Gleen Howerton , who will play Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie , co-founder since 1984 and co-director since 1992, respectively. Both remained in the management of the company until 2012, a time when BlackBerry was already going through very delicate times.
For its part, the script will be an adaptation of the book Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry , written by Sean Silcoff and Jacquie McNish .
when will it be released
Although the production work could already be in a very advanced state, we still do not have a release date on the table, so everything indicates that we will have to wait a few years to see the rise and fall from the big screen of the cinema. of an empire that tried to dominate the world of the smartphone but that soon ate the toast.
