Apple sightings on TV and movies?

also roboto's factory is full of apple displays, and i guess towers, maybe cubes running them. but that kind of product placement is so stupid and unrealistic. you'd only need one mac to run that place anyway.
 
By the way, anyone else seen that movie? (Antitrust)

I saw it at a friends house. It looked like a Mac keyboard and I kept thinking that they used Darwin to do the Unix shots, but all that's credited is the Open Source Foundation (or something).

Also, not in film or TV, but the IKEA 2001 catalog has some iMac everywhere. The 2003 has a tiBook and a Graphite iMac.

Other new movies in which Macs used for special effects and/or sounds that I know of (at least at this time) are:
Star Wars Ep.1 The Phantom Menace
Star Wars Ep.2 Attack Of The Clones
Harry Potter
The Lord Of The Rings
Pearl Harbor

Also, on Comics and to be more specific, in Marvel Comics, lots of Macs are in panels here and there be it iMacs, PowerBooks, or simply computer screens showing Mac OS Classic mostly ;)
 
This isn't really a TV show or movie, but in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3's videos, everyone who is seen with a computer is using a Mac.

I saw a bronze-keyboard Powerbook G3, a G3 iMac and a Powerbook G4 that a dude was doing music on. :D
 
... apparently nobody realized the fact that Independence Day featured .... *drumroll please*... a PowerBook 5300.... However, in the film, it is simply labeled PowerBook XXXX.... Apple's marketing department had probably not decided what to number it, yet, so they made that label for the movie. As I recall, the PowerBook 5300 was released very near to the movie's release date. Interesting, eh?

I've often heard that Apple has a near-monopoly on product placement in Hollywood, as you can tell from the fact that most (it seems) computers that magically appear in a hollywood movie are Macs, even when it doesn't make any sense.

Jurassic Park had macs. Quadra 900's or something, right?

One place Apple didn't get, and I think the moviemakers made the right choice, was in Swordfish, that movie with John Travolta and some whiz hacker. They had some Panasonic Toughbooks (model 28 I think), which are killer, non-killable, laptops. http://www.panasonic.com/toughbook

I think you might want to take another look at the keyboard in Travoltas lair when the hacker was programming the worm. Looks like a Apple Pro Keyboard to me.
 
Nice movie with Hugh Grant. In this movie he has a cube with a cinema TFT display on his table. It is on camera several times in the movie. Funny movie too :)
 
Snowball that was really AWESOME! ;)

Although, I don't get it why they don't mention all the movies... Could it be that ONLY the movies they mention at the webpage had something to do with that lady producing Macs in Hollywood while all the other movies decided to use Macs without anyone tell 'em a thing? Does that mean that Hollywood REALLY likes apples? ;) At least Forest Gump does :D
 
on my new lord of the rings dvd there is a clip that has a g4 book attached to a bunch of other stuff on set. obviously not featured in the movie, but used in production.
and of course the macaddict article about all the sounds done on star wars II.

but this thread isn't about them being used, only being featured, right...

Actually, in early episodes, Seinfeld had a PC. In fact there was a box of Windows 95 right next to it.

No, it's not porn. It's a new movie with Julia Roberts, Niles from "Frasier," the photographer (Elliot) from "Just Shoot Me," and lots of cameos (Brad Pitt, for example).

Anyway, the Elliot character taps away in a few scenes on his TiBook...apparently using AirPort.

Speaking of that, _Goldmember_ had a Pro keyboard mounted on a pole to the right the spinning time-vortex gate thingie. Presumably the controls.

Saw that movie, it was okay... :\

Don't forget, all the computers at the OSS headquaters had Apple flat panels. :D

I will keep posting as long as I can remember Movies which had/have Macs lurking in there or simply co-star! :D
