The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (2009)

Swedish crime movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1343097/

There are various Macs running OS X all over the movie, but this is real surprise. I suppose it's real IRIX, Indigo Magic desktop icons were visible for a moment.

It makes sense only if you can get it cheap enough, because there are newer and cheaper audio interfaces available, like Behringer ADA8200, which is about $200. You can connect it with ADAT optical, just like Lucid.

I have used its older version (ADA8000), and it's pretty good, and even cheaper second-hand.
