Glenn Howerton, Jay Baruchel, and Matt Johnson on BlackBerry, and the real Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis
The rise and fall of BlackBerry is one of Canada’s most unbelievable stories, and director Matt Johnson weaves a personal story about friends, with one of the biggest success stories and failures in tech.
A stylish, humorous, semi-fictionalized and sometimes disarmingly intense look at the rise and fall of one of Canada’s biggest tech companies, BlackBerry follows a well established formula and propels it to new heights with tonal ingenuity and exceptional performances.
We catch up with Goon: Last of the Enforcers director, co-writer, and co-star Jay Baruchel to talk about the hotly anticipated hockey sequel.
