The rise and especially the calamitous fall of BlackBerry precipitated by Steve Jobs and the iPhone is the subject of a new movie, opening in theaters in May.
Six months after it completed post-production and the search for a distributor ramped up, “BlackBerry” is to be released in theaters on May 12, 2023. Written by Matthew Miller and Matt Johnson, the director, it’s based on the 2015 non-fiction book, “Losing the Signal.”Jay Baruchel and Glenn Howerton star as BlackBerry founders Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie. The film is billed as a “whirlwind ride through a ruthlessly competitive Silicon Valley at breakneck speeds.”
