They don't get a choice unless they're paying for product placement. Just a myth.What happened to Apple being so restrictive about how their products are displayed in movies? Was that just a myth?
They wanted to go with Hostage Pro Max, but that was take by the negotiator.iHostage might have been a good title in say, 2003.
I don't think this qualifies as viral.What a boring movie. I swear I just can’t understand the things they go viral some times
I just watched the trailer and it's not even worth pirating the movie.
At least it looks the part. I guess these LED walls are finally cheaper than green screens even for budget productions.
Netflix and Apple don't exactly get along. Also, I think there are carve outs for artistic representations.
What a gigantic waste of money. They could have filmed on a different location, not one single viewer would have said "hey that's not the real Leidseplein street!" It's a freaking movie, not a documentary.
There’s been a ridiculous trend of budget inflation in the film industry for years. Instead of greenlighting smarter scripts or taking creative risks, studio execs keep throwing money at the problem, hoping that sheer scale will magically guarantee success. It’s lazy, short-sighted, and creatively bankrupt.
Thats just silly. No one is locked into the Apple ecosystem; they can leave any time they want. As opposed to someone who is actually being held hostage.It's ironic that a movie about Apple is on Netflix. I'm surprised Netflix was allowed to do this. Freedom of creation?
Also, the name "iHostage" takes on a whole new meaning for a lot of people these days, being "locked in" to the ecosystem.
Actually not. It was a very cheap film to make because they needed one set. OK, they used a giant TV screen outside the set's windows, but that is nothing new; you rent those TV screens. Building sets is cheaper than flying a crew to Europe, putting them up in a hotel for the duration, and paying Apple for the use of the store at night when it is closed.I wouldn't say "lazy", since this was obviously quite a feat to pull off. But unnecessary? I'd agree.
