According to its blurb, the book focuses on “an unlikely partnership between a visionary engineer, Mike Lazaridis, and an abrasive Harvard Business school grad, Jim Balsillie” — the two founders of Research in Motion , which would later become BlackBerry.Canadian actor and comedian Jay Baruchel will be taking on the role of Lazaridis, but we must confess to being most excited to see Howerton as Balsillie.
