Here's a scene in which Charlie's dad talks to him about supporting him through tough love.

That's right.

And, you know, Rob Reiner told NPR's Scott Simon that their collaboration was the most satisfying creative experience he'd ever had.

And Nick told Scott that making the movie was part of his recovery journey.

For example, the character Charlie steals Oxycontin from a sick elderly woman who really needs it.

Well, last night NPR spoke to cinematographer Barry Markowitz, who shot Being Charlie and some of Rob Reiner's other films.

Markowitz is a friend of the Reiners who he calls a strong, close-knit family, and he painted a very different picture of Nick Reiner, who he says loves basketball and had traveled to Europe to learn more about his family's Jewish roots.

Markowitz told us he saw Nick and the family in L.A.

just 10 days ago.

And you know, Markowitz says that over the last year or two, he was happy to see Nick Reiner because it seemed like his life had changed for the good.

Thank you.

This promo from OpenAI says Sora 2 allows users to insert images into any virtual background.

Some creators have used Sora 2 to make unauthorized videos of famous people such as Mr. Rogers, Tupac Shakur, and Michael Jackson.

The Motion Picture Association says Sora 2 videos infringe on the copyrights of films, shows, and characters.

The three top Hollywood talent agencies also weighed in on the new tech.

CAA says clients' intellectual properties are at risk.

UTA says it's exploitation.

And WME announced all its clients are opting out, so Sora 2 cannot use their names, images, or likenesses.
