Well, we didn\u2019t know this one was coming: they\u2019re making a film about former-mobile-titan BlackBerry, and it\u2019s going to star Glenn Howerton of It\u2019s Always Sunny in Philadelphia <\/em>as the company\u2019s co-CEO, Jim Balsillie. According to The Globe and Mail<\/em><\/a>, production wrapped this week, though when exactly the film will hit cinemas is unknown. <\/p>\n

The film, simply titled BlackBerry<\/em>, is based on the 2015 book Losing the Signal: The Spectacular Rise and Fall of BlackBerry,<\/em> by journalists Sean Silcoff and Jacquie McNish. According to its blurb, the book focuses on \u201can unlikely partnership between a visionary engineer, Mike Lazaridis, and an abrasive Harvard Business school grad, Jim Balsillie\u201d \u2014 the two founders of Research in Motion (RIM), which would later become BlackBerry. <\/p>\n
