7:16 am
hack in 2014 when sensitive e-mails, celebrity gossip and the movie "annie" were stolen and made public. since then, the major studios have beefed up their cyber security. but some independent vendors remain a weak link, according to experts. >> this move the hackers made with "orange is the new black" is a warning shot. and perhaps, we could see more such incidents with other networks and other shows. >> reporter: it appears the hackers may have more shows and movies. the criminals posting, and to the others, there's still time to save yourselves. our offers are still on the table for now. this morning, studios are under attack. this may not be the hollywood ending they were hoping for. hollywood studios are already on edge because of the threat of a writer's strike which could come as early as tomorrow. the last time there was a strike, it cost the industry more than $2 billion. craig and savannah, back to you guys. >> miguel almaguer, up early in l.a. thank you. mr. roker is back. this is -- it's officially spring. >> i took my picnic table out.

nearly five decades in the making. this year marks the 45th anniversary of "the godfather" franchise. >> can't believe it. over the weekend, matt sat down with the stars of the original and the sequel, as well as robert de niro, who brought the cast back together for the tribeca film festival. and matt found that the stars really haven't lost their touch. >> reporter: it was the offer five hollywood legends could not refuse, the chance to reunite for the 45th anniversary of one of the greatest movie franchises in history. >> leave the gun. take the cannoli. >> reporter: "the godfather." i was telling my friends in the office, and aside of their jealou jealousy, they were surprised to hear it was 45 years. does it feel like that, al? >> everything feels long to me now. everything is in the distance and i question whether i did it or not. that kind of thing. it's fine.
8:43 am
it doesn't feel that long because it's in -- somewhat in the in conscious life, it's referred to a lot. it's ever-present, those movies. >> reporter: "the godfather" follows the epic rise and fall of the corleone crime family. >> don't take sides with anyone against the family again. >> reporter: at the helm, francis ford coppola, who se seamlessly weaved together horror and heartbreak. >> look at the mess of my boy. >> this may never happen again. and it's all really due to francis. >> reporter: the director. your brother. >> he's my brother. >> the story i read, he didn't want you in the movie because he didn't want you to have to witness some of what he was going to have to go through in that movie. >> and it's all true. it's all true. because he could have been fired at any minute. apparently, the dailies came in very dark. very dark. at a certain moment after two
8:44 am
weeks, they cut it together and went, there's something really great here. >> reporter: was the studio in favor of you getting cast as michael corleone? >> no. >> as somebody said there, brando, pacino, over my dead body. >> reporter: the wedding scene sticks in my mind here. just describe what it's like to be shooting a scene, dancing at what was your wedding, with marlon brando. >> i was overwhelmed. i couldn't believe when he came towards me. very handsome man. i'm dancing with him. i'm tripping. he was so kind. >> reporter: you're dancing with marlon brando. >> i know. >> reporter: the movie premiered in 1972 and became the highest-grossing movie of its time. but during filming, not everyone was so sure of its success. the story goes out, a couple weeks in, actually after the wedding scene was shot, you and diane keaton go out, you have a couple of drinks and you say, this movie's going to suck. this has been a flop.
8:45 am
>> but also, company. >> not me. >> reporter: you didn't think so. you thought it would be a hit? >> absolutely. >> reporter: why did you think it was going to be a hit? >> great script, actually. but the whole environment of shooting -- filming something, at the time, so young. and inexperienced. we didn't know what filmmaking was. you know, especially when you're doing scenes and you hear people snickering from the other end. well, this isn't going well. when is the ball going to fall? anyway, francis, being as clever as he is, gets the schedule changed and puts the silotso scene, so that he will be in a position to show the studio this, is what pacino can do. >> reporter: coppola's bold style opened a door to a whole new world of filmmaking. his original master's the and its equally acclaim eed se kwae
8:46 am
will. >> first was a big hit. the second was going to be, you know, the idea of playi ining bo when he was younger, it was great. >> reporter: no trepidations of that? taking on a same version of the vito corleone role? >> no. >> reporter: was the sequel better than the original? james caan might have something to say about that. >> no. except i wasn't in it. >> it was different. i think francis was frying to express something there that he was really talking about and thinking of michael as the -- >> both were better than the third one. >> reporter: "the godfather part ii" was the first film starring ail pacino and robert dene de n.
8:47 am
they never shared a scene. but their appearance sparked rumors of a rivalry. any truth to it? >> we have known each other for a long time. we were up for the same parts. >> we grew up together. >> yeah. >> once i told him, i remember, what was the thing with depalma? >> "scar face." >> i said, if you don't do it, i might do it. >> that motivated me. >> reporter: you guys are great. happy 45th anniversary. and thanks for bringing this group together. >> yeah. >> bobby de niro made it all happen. >> he did it. >> hear it for de niro. >> thank you, tribeca. >> very cool. >> somewhere, matt is still pinching himself. that happened? >> i think he's watching. i think this morning he woke up and watched that segment. >> how exciting. >> it was good to hear james

8:51 am
startling. we've all heard them. drug overdoses have doubled in recent years. heroin overdoses have tripled. everyone asking, what can be done? this documentary focuses on awareness, with stories told by people who tragically understand the problem better than anyone. >> if somebody told me six years ago that i was going to be a heroin addict, i would have thought that they were crazy. >> winn was starting to not get out of bed. i was starting to find the pill bottles around the house. >> i felt like the parent, where i was searching her room for drugs. >> reporter: four families. four stories about opioids and their destructive power. >> i felt happy. i felt warm. i felt like it loved me and i loved it back. >> reporter: a raw, personal look at the drug epidemic, from perri peltz, and hbo's documentary, "warning: this drug may kill you." >> these are different families. different stories.
8:52 am
different parts of the country. what they all have in common is that each of these families, each of these stories, began with a prescription, from a doctor. a real legitimate prescription for pain. >> reporter: like stephanie, who took painkillers after getting kidney stones as a teenager. and then, started sharing them with her sister, ashley. >> we didn't know what could happen. you know? we just thought, well, our tr started giving us these painkillers. so, can't be that bad. >> reporter: the sisters got hooked. ashley overdosed and died. as did winn doyle, a mother of three. and brendan cole, a promising young athlete. >> for the longest time, i couldn't come in this room. it's like the day he died. it took me a year to come in and throw his garbage out. >> reporter: just a few of the tens of thousands of deaths a year from overdoses. now, a number greater than from car crashes. what do you see is the biggest
8:53 am
obstacle in this country to grappling with this epidemic? >> the biggest obstacle in my opinion, without a doubt, is the stigma. the stigma that surrounds the disease of addiction. one of the moms said it so well. when our son overdosed, people didn't come around with casseroles, like they do if your child dies of another disease. >> this film helps us understand this isn't people choosing alternative lifestyle. these are people suffering from opioid addiction. >> reporter: and many of them, like those in this film, have no idea how quickly they can get hooked. >> if a patient is prescribed a ten-day supply, one in five patients end up stuck on opioids long-term. >> reporter: there's a good chance, that one of us will be prescribed an opioid for pain. should we be scared of that prescription? >> get off the drugs as quickly
8:54 am
as you can and get rid of the pills. don't keep them in your medicine chest. that's his own recipe for disaster. >> reporter: producers of the film aren't arguing that opioids are all bad. we need to understand them better. and doctors need to write fewer prescriptions. the other key is an attitude change towards addiction. and that may be tougher. the stigma is hard to shake. they hope these stories will help shake it a bit. >> wow. >> just to think that that brief ten-day supply. and it could change your life. stephanie, thank you so much. this documentary airs tonight on hba. back in a moment.
