Apple Pulls Out of SXSW Due to Coronavirus

Apple has decided to pull out of SXSW due to the coronavirus outbreak, reports Variety. The company planned to premiere three Apple TV+ originals at the festival. It was also planning to host a discussion with 'Little America' creators Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon.

Apple’s events at SXSW had been included the world premiere of the Jonze-directed “Beastie Boys Story,” featuring band members Mike Diamond and Adam Horovitz; animated musical series “Central Park” from directors and exec producers Loren Bouchard (“Bob’s Burgers”) and Josh Gad (“Frozen”), alongside executive producer Nora Smith (“Bob’s Burgers”); and “Home,” a docuseries that promises a never-before-seen look inside “the world’s most innovative homes.” Apple also had scheduled a screening of political coming-of-age documentary film “Boys State,” which it acquired in partnership with A24 for $10 million at the Sundance Film Festival.

Organizers say the event will continue as scheduled. It takes place March 13-22 in Austin, Texas.
