- prvc 5y agoDoes this apply to non-AppleTV+ movies as well?
- everling 5y agoRian Johnson confirmed that in some commentary/interview about Knives Out
- rasz 5y agoOnly if you want Apple product placement.
- prvc 5y agoMeaning they'll pay the movie-makers? How much would be involved? Is there anything they would do if the filmmakers decided to eschew the payment and give a villain an iPhone anyway?
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoWhy on Earth any producer would agree to this? Filmmaking is a business.
- tompazourek 5y ago> Is there anything they would do if the filmmakers decided to eschew the payment and give a villain an iPhone anyway? Then the product placement contract would be violated and the filmmakers wouldn't get any money from Apple for the placement of iPhones in their movie.

- samtheprogram 5y agoDo you flag every paywalled article posted as well? https://archive.is/76qc7 https://archive.is/76qc7
- timdaub 5y agoyeah, what's the point of a link if it isn't accessible by the majority of readery.
- samtheprogram 5y agoI find good, paywalled content on the HN homepage regularly, if not daily. If you want to read it you can usually find a workaround. What’s the point of flagging content you can not read, or do not want to put the effort into reading through workarounds? This only lowers discoverability for others.

- Symbiote 5y agoThis article from last year [1] has more content. It says: > “We used Coca-Cola bottles on the day of shooting, and we had to paint out the Coca-Cola label [later],” said Boyle in an interview. What rule prevents them using a Coca-Cola bottle on-screen? Is it the copyright of the logo, perhaps? (There are also some actual numbers. "Daniel Craig reportedly spurned a $50m deal that would have seen James Bond using a Samsung phone in 2015 outing Spectre because he did not consider it good enough for 007." – so we can see how much money is on the table for these deals.)

- cma 5y agoI think there is no rule, you ask Coca-Cola to pay and if they don't, you paint them out.
- foogazi 5y ago> Apple lets you use iPhones in movies Can Apple prevent iPhones from being used in movies?
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoNo, they pay the filmmakers to use them just like other manufacturers, but they also make certain demands.
