“Picture a cellphone and an email machine all in one thing.”
So begins the trailer for BlackBerry, which tells the story of the at-one-time massively successful Canadian smartphone line from Waterloo, Ont.-based Research In Motion.
It stars Canadian Jay Baruchel as company co-creator Mike Lazaridis and Glenn Howerton as co-CEO Jim Balsillie. Blackberry had its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in February, and screened at Austin Texas festival South By Southwest on Tuesday.
Like the film itself, the trailer outlines the rise and fall of the Blackberry, beginning with Lazaridis and company co-creator Douglas Fregin (played by director Matt Johnson) bringing Balsillie into the fold as CEO.
