    This is a great video overall (and an excellent movie), but especially a super interesting detail (mentioned at about 2:50):

    Also, another funny thing... I don't know if I should say this or not. Not 'cause it's like, lascivious or something, but because it's gonna screw me on the next mystery movie that I write. But forget it, I'll say it, it's very interesting.

    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. So... nooo... every single filmmaker who has a bad guy in their movie that's supposed to be a secret wants to murder me right now.

      Smart move by Apple, really. The site is annoying, but Johnson also released a slick in-theatre director's commentary with the hope that you'd pop it on your phone and listen with an earphone....

        There's nothing stopping director's from handing iPhones out to their villains, they just won't get that sweet product placement money.
