Huntington's Disease Movie
There's been some news coverage of a film festival where the films are delivered digitally instead of on celluloid. Buried in the article is a tidbit on a film called '50/50' that is about Huntington's Disease.
Don't look for it in your nearby theater just yet. It is still being produced and when it is released it is likely to be a 'limited release'/art house movie. Here's the details from the article:
"Hybrid" is a look at films that blend documentary and fiction techniques. As part of the emphasis on hybrid films, viewers will see 33 minutes of 50/50, a work-in-progress by Tom Fontana and Barry Levinson (Homicide: Life on the Streets), and Ted Bogosian (The Press Secretary). The subject is Huntington's disease, and it's not clear where fiction crosses over into real life.
"It's a social issue film with two actors in the lead roles," Buirski said. "They want it to be a surprise, but it's very provocative."
