I assume you must have some form of approval if it is a central part of the movie.
I assume companies can say, no random director you cannot use a Microsoft Surface to nuke the world.
There must be something about it showcasing a product in a negative light.
- wolco 7y agoApple could sue if there brand was used without permission. But having a phone without the logo would be fine.

- gowld 7y agoWhy? Do I have to go around getting approval for every piece of clothing actors wear? The furniture and appliances?
- anewhope 7y agoNot every piece but if it’s prominent yeah, a product release authorization. I think it has to do with protecting against defamation actions.
- dubcanada 7y agoNo, every piece of clothing actors wear is not easily distinguishable nor do people relate it to mischief. But if you use a iPhone to hack the matrix and bring down the Italian government. Someone somewhere is going to assume iPhone is better at being "bad" than other phones. Regardless how true it is. Apple is attempting to prevent their phone from being used to do bad stuff.
