Rian Johnson dishes on Apple's 'no iPhone for baddie' policy

Explore Business Standard

Filmmaker Rian Johnson has revealed that tech giant Apple has mandated that the villains or the bad guys in the films cannot be shown using its flagship product, iPhone.
In a video interview with Vanity Fair, Johnson discussed a scene from his recent murder mystery feature "Knives Out".
In the scene, all the members of a family have iPhones, barring one character who is revealed to be the killer in the film's climax.
Johnson said, "I don't know if I should say this or not. Not because it's lascivious or something, but because it's gonna screw me on the next mystery movie that I write."
