PERTAINING TO: Hollywood Director Barry 'Blockbuster' Oppenheimer.

Summary to follow:

Following the destructive incident in Neo Rio during the filming of Jack Action XIII: Lucky Break, reports from field operatives deployed on location suggests that 'Blockbuster' should be classified as an entity with a high threat level. Corroborating video evidence and documentation has provided conclusive proof that 'Blockbuster' is capable of altering reality on a fundamental level with his 'directing' and directly incorporating any environs and bystanders into these effects.

The extent of these capabilities are not fully known at this time, but field operatives are advised to exercise extreme caution in any efforts to interact with or approach Mr. Oppenheimer - as doing so risks becoming involved in his 'films' as an 'extra.' Further analysis is necessary. At this time, command has authorized the deployment of metahuman and/or entity-level assets in an attempt to mitigate and minimize further collateral damage from Mr. Oppenheimer's 'directing' - prioritizing avoidance of civilian loss of life.
