If you haven’t had enough of last year’s you will have another chance to witness the rise and fall of the once iconic smartphone. Filmmaker Eddie Schmidt is one of the directors behind Netflix Ugly Tastymaking a documentary about the telephone, .
The documentary is currently in production and is being produced by Unrealistic Ideas, a production company founded by Mark Wahlberg. Fear. This team was behind HBO McMillionsa documentary miniseries about the infamous McDonald’s Monopoly promotion scam.
The project is currently untitled and has no release date, but we do know that the filmmakers have been given exclusive access to the Research In Motion Alumni Association. So there will be a lot of interviews with former executives involved in the BlackBerry story in one way or another. The film will also feature “never-before-seen archival footage.”
Director Schmidt shared a statement saying he was excited to “explore this unexpected real-life saga at the intersection of technology and popular culture.” What’s missing from the documentary is actor Glenn Howerton absolutely crushing it as former Research In Motion CEO Jim Balsillie.
BlackBerry it was a legitimately good movie. We highly recommend it, especially for the scene posted above. I mean come on!
