Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are staring in the new film "The Internship". The premise is that two middle aged salesmen go and try to get jobs at Google which is notorious for having incredible working conditions. Vince Vaughn came up with the idea after seeing a segment on TV which showcased the amazing working conditions that Google offered his employees. Vince later approached Google with the idea and Google agreed to assist with the technical aspects (getting the details on how the company looks right). Although Google's executives felt that they had little say in the matter. "The movie would get made with or without a company's input," said Igielko-Herrlich."You have to embrace the production if you hope to soften whatever bad things they might have in there".
In my opinion Google took the right move investing and going along with the idea for this movie. Google has done incredibly well with creating an image and it becuase of things like this. They new that the movie would be made with or without Google's consent so they took the opportunity to promote their idea/image as well as the field of computer science. I will definitely watch the movie.
