Film about smartphone maker BlackBerry will be released on May 12

The film about smartphone maker BlackBerry will be released on May 12. This has been reported by the film company. The film is based on a book about the Canadian company, which was once one of the largest smartphone makers in the world.

The trailer shows that the film covers the period from its inception in the 1980s to at least 2011, when a major outage shut down BlackBerry services worldwide for days. It is unknown at what point in history the film will end.

The film is based on the 2015 book Losing the Signal, which is about the rise and fall of the smartphone maker. That advance lasted until about 2008. BlackBerry still exists, but has not made smartphones for years. IFC Films will release the film. It is unknown whether it will also run in cinemas in the Benelux.
