What to know

Jay Baruchel and Glenn Howerton star in tech biopic

BlackBerry is a drama comedy biopic directed by Matt Johnson (Operation Avalanche). Based on the book, Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry by Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff, the screenplay is written by Matt Johnson and producer Matthew Miller. Fraser Ash, Niv Fichman and Kevin Krikst also produce the film. At its peak, BlackBerry had 85 million global subscribers, but lost its market share with the rise in popularity of iOS and Android operating systems. By March 2016, BlackBerry’s subscribers had sunk nearly 75 percent to 23 million. 

Jay Baruchel (Knocked Up, This Is The End) and Glenn Howerton (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, A.P. Bio) star as BlackBerry founder Mike Lazaridis and former Chair and co-CEO of Research in Motion Jim Balsillie respectively. Research in Motion later became BlackBerry Limited. Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride) portrays Carl Yankowski, Saul Rubinek is John Woodman, Michael Ironside as Charles Purdy, SungWon Cho as Ritchie Cheung, Michelle Giroux as Dara Frankel, Rich Sommer as Paul Stannos and Matt Johnson as Douglas Fregin.
