Apple won’t allow iPhones to be used by bad guys in movies.
Rian Johnson, the director behind ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ and ‘Knives Out’, revealed Apple does not allow bad guys in movies to use iPhones. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the director explained “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.”
He even jokes that this may ruin future mystery movies because it reveals which characters are good and bad. “Every single filmmaker that has a bad guy in their movie that’s supposed to be a secret wants to murder me right now,” he joked.
This is important when watching ‘Knives Out’, where nearly every character is a suspect in the murder of a wealthy crime novelist.
