Hollywood production companies listen to voice of movie fans.

2010-10-26

AUSTIN, TX, October 26, 2010 (Press-News.org) Movie fans have a chance to be a Hollywood insider on MovieHatch.com. Like an "American Idol" for filmmaking, MovieHatch lets fans help Hollywood producers decide which movies to make. Rising filmmakers have entered pitches of original film ideas to be considered.

Just like professional film critics, fans watch trailers and rate pitches by giving a certain number of stars and can rate as many pitches as they would like at www.MovieHatch.com. Voting ends December 5th.

"For Hollywood, MovieHatch takes the guesswork out of selecting the next great original film to make by showing exactly what movie-goers want to see," says MovieHatch.com founder and CEO, Lauren Hirsch Williams. "It provides a real chance for emerging talent to have their ideas hand delivered to the right people."

MovieHatch.com invites movie fans to become "Public Producers" to determine 10 film ideas that go directly to film industry professionals. Scripts for the best ideas will be read and considered by 25+ Hollywood producers, agents, managers and writers, after fans have decided which ones they want to see made into movies. Several scripts could be chosen for development or full production.

"MovieHatch is a powerful new avenue that helps writers and filmmakers gain exposure to key industry insiders, as well as the movie-going audience. Not only that, but MovieHatch is unique in that it provides invaluable advice, and resources, for writers and filmmakers and offers an unheard of opportunity to actually put that counsel to use and potentially have a project produced," says Jeffrey Reddick, writer of "Final Destination", one of MovieHatch's judges.

One of MovieHatch's greatest advantages is the impressive roster of partnerships that has been secured with some of Hollywood's top production companies including: Rat Entertainment (Brett Ratner), FoxxKing, Broken Road Productions, Varsity Pictures, Underground Films, Tribeca Productions, and Red Wagon Entertainment, among others.

There are over 10 new judges this year, including:

- Steven Susco, Writer, "The Grudge", "High School" with Michael Chiklis/Adrian Brody
- Mark Kaufmann, Executive Producer, "Hairspray", "17 Again", "Four Christmases"
- Matt Fuller, Creative Executive, MBST "Arthur", management for Robin Williams, Woody Allen
- Brandy Palmer, Creative Executive, FoxxKing, a Jamie Foxx production company

Kryptonite superglue improving the quality of life in heart patients recovering from surgery

2010-10-25

The glue, called Kryptonite™, is being used to enhance the closure of the breastbone after surgery. "It has properties like natural bone and allows for new bone growth" says Dr. Fedak, a cardiac surgeon at Foothills Hospital Medical Centre. Up to this point, the breastbone has been closed only with steel wire that stays in the chest. "One of the most common complaints among patients is sternal pain following heart surgery," he says "With this alternative procedure, significant healing occurs in hours rather than in weeks." By accelerating and improving bone stability, ...

Discovery of taste receptors in the lungs could help people with asthma breathe easier

2010-10-25

Taste receptors in the lungs? Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore have discovered that bitter taste receptors are not just located in the mouth but also in human lungs. What they learned about the role of the receptors could revolutionize the treatment of asthma and other obstructive lung diseases. "The detection of functioning taste receptors on smooth muscle of the bronchus in the lungs was so unexpected that we were at first quite skeptical ourselves," says the study's senior author, Stephen B. Liggett, M.D., professor of medicine ...

Neurons work like a chain of dominos to control action sequences

2010-10-25

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- As anyone who as ever picked up a guitar or a tennis racket knows, precise timing is often an essential part of performing complex tasks. Now, by studying the brain circuits that control bird song, MIT researchers have identified a "chain reaction" of brain activity that appears to control the timing of song. The song of the zebra finch is very stereotypic; each song lasts about 1 second, and consists of multiple syllables whose timing is almost precisely the same from one performance to the next. "It's a great model system for studying how the brain ...

Study describes a tabletop source of bright, coherent X-rays

2010-10-25

Producing tightly focused beams of high energy X-rays, to examine everything from molecular structures to the integrity of aircraft wings, could become simpler and cheaper according to new research. Today, in Nature Physics, researchers from Imperial College London, the University of Michigan and Instituto Superior Téchnico Lisbon describe a tabletop instrument that produces synchrotron X-rays, whose energy and quality rivals that produced by some of the largest X-ray facilities in the world. Scientific and medical advances often depend on the development of better ...

Marathons damage the hearts of less fit runners for up to 3 months

2010-10-25

A team of researchers and runners from the Heart and Stroke Foundation have come up with a practical way of answering the question. They used data from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to find out what is really going on in the marathoner's heart as the kilometers pile up. "Marathon runners can be a lot less fit than they think," Dr. Eric Larose today told the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress 2010, co-hosted by the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Canadian Cardiovascular Society. Lack of real aerobic fitness may directly impact the ways the heart organizes itself ...
