A new movie is in the works about the rise and fall of the company that made the Blackberry. It was technically the first smart phone made. Before Apple and Samsung made their phones, the Blackberry was the stable phone for business and more. But the trend took a huge dive when other smart phones were released.

The movie will be about the story of the business relationship of the co-founders of the company, Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie. They have casted Jay Baruchel, of "Knocked Up" and Glenn Howerton of "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" to play the two co-founders.
