Some movies care, some don't. It's very hit or miss.
When The Internship was being filmed, I got asked numerous times for appropriately licensed code for a given scene. They would tell me what the scene was about, i would go and find code that made sense for it. You would think nobody would care about that in a comedy.
Some of the bug fixing people are doing here and there (some was cut, some was not) is actually me fixing bugs in the same code in vim. They wanted it to look completely real.
Interestingly, the people i've worked with who have cared the most about getting stuff right are actually the Silicon Valley (TV show) folks.
- noir_lord 11y agoSilicon Valley is easily my favourite comedy and arguably favourite TV show of the last few years. I live in the North of the UK so I have no idea how accurate it is in terms of culture but it certainly does a fantastic job on the technical accuracy.
- DannyBee 11y agoThey work with a ton of technical consultants. The number of legal things they've went well into the weeds to get right was impressive.
