Apple won't let bad guys use iPhones on screen, Star Wars director says

By Bethany Minelle

 

Apple are notoriously strident about who uses their products on screen

 

Tech giant Apple is so strict about the use of their products they won't let villains use them on screen, the Star Wars director has said.

 

Product placement has been part of the American viewing experience for many years, and has been allowed in the UK since 2011.

 

Speaking about his latest film Knives Out in a Vanity Fair interview, director Rian Johnson said: "Apple, they let you use iPhones in movies, but - and this is very pivotal - if you're ever watching a mystery movie, bad guys cannot have iPhones on camera."

 

The Star Wars: The Last Jedi filmmaker admitted that can end up being a bit of a spoiler for a mystery or whodunit, like Knives Out.
