Yes, Steve Carell often has an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic in his hands often in
the movie. He plays an artist who was beaten nearly to death and, after
rehab, becomes a photographer to create art that he can no longer do the
way he did before his traumatic injuries. The movie is based on a true
story:

In many way, Mark Hogancamp is a typical Pentaxian: a fanatical,
delusional compulsive who plays with dolls, lives in a fantasy world,
collects high heel shoes, is afraid of women and talks to people who are
not there. But he takes interesting images.
