Unfortunately, like Meg Ryan in "In the cut" it'll be too little to late for anyone to really give a **** anymore.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

No nudity? Bah.

You do realize theres more to life than seeing some boobies on the big screen for a dew seconds.

MGM Moves 'Awake' to November 30 Release

After a long delay MGM has finally slated Joby Harold's Awake for release on November 30 of this year. In the film Hayden Christensen plays a victim of "anesthetic awareness," in which a patient remains awake but paralyzed during surgery. Jessica Alba also stars alongside Lena Olin, Terrence Howard and Sam Robards. Watch for new pics (older ones here), trailers and more VERY soon. The film has been testing quite a lot here in Los Angeles, looks like maybe they think they have something solid on their hands? Fingers crossed.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

I see you did this for me already.

lol thanks.

i've been waiting for this movie. Its been finished since the end of 2005 and has been sitting around the last almost 2 years.

Audiences Nationwide Will 'Awake' to a Frightening Reality on November 30th

Feature Film Depicts a Patient Experiencing Anesthetic Awareness
1 out of 700 patients a year experience anesthetic awareness

NEW YORK, Oct. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 30th, "Awake" will debut
in theaters nationwide exposing the horrifying, true-life surgical event
known as "anesthetic awareness." In "Awake" a patient's failed anesthesia
leaves him fully conscious but physically paralyzed during surgery. The
patient's new wife is forced to struggle with her own demons as a
terrifying drama unfolds around the couple. Jessica Alba, Hayden
Christensen, Terrence Howard, Lena Olin and Fisher Stevens star in the
psychological thriller which is written and directed by Joby Harold.
"Awake" is being theatrically distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios
Inc. (MGM).
According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the American
Association of Nurse Anesthetists, anesthetic awareness is "when surgical
patients can recall their surroundings or an event - sometimes even pain -
related to their surgery while they were under general anesthesia." (1)
According to the Anesthesia & Analgesia journal, anesthetic awareness
can include full consciousness during surgery with pain and explicit recall
of intraoperative events. (2)
"This film will do to surgery what 'Jaws' did to swimming in the
ocean," said Deutsch/Open City Films co-founder and producer Joana Vicente.
Joby Harold stated, "We have created an original and scary experience
unlike anything audiences have seen before. The prospect of being conscious
during surgery elicits a visceral response in everyone, and I can't wait
for audiences to join us on this unique, fun ride."
Carol Weihrer, President and Founder of the Anesthesia Awareness
Campaign, Inc., stated, "I've been following the progress of 'Awake' since
the project was announced, and as a victim of anesthesia awareness, I
dedicated the last nine years to educating the public to help them
understand the scope, sheer terror and trauma involved when awareness
occurs. Recently, I attended the American Society of Anesthesiologists
(ASA) annual conference and they are finally beginning to publicly
acknowledge this problem. The Anesthesia Awareness Campaign and the ASA are
also working together on a database registry of victims, estimated to be at
least 100 times a day in the United States. And while we are working
together, there is no way to accurately describe to someone how it feels to
be 'entombed in a corpse' as I was."
"Every year an estimated 20,000 to 40,000 of the 21 million patients
who receive general anesthesia wake up during surgery because they are
under- anesthetized, usually by mistake or because doctors fear too high a
dose of anesthesia could be dangerous. Half of them, can hear or feel what
is going on but are unable to communicate what is happening to them because
they have been temporarily paralyzed. Nearly 30 percent feel pain, studies
have shown. As a result of the experience, about 50 percent of awareness
victims develop serious psychological problems, including post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD), experts say." (3)
"Awake" may not be suitable for those about to undergo anesthesia for
surgery.
Joby Harold makes his directorial debut from a script he wrote. The
films ensemble cast includes Jessica Alba, Hayden Christensen, Terrence
Howard, Lena Olin, Sam Robards, Christopher McDonald, Fisher Stevens, and
Arliss Howard.
Bob Weinstein, Harvey Weinstein, Kelly Carmichael and Tim Williams are
the film's executive producers. Joana Vicente and Jason Kliot of
Deutsch/Open City Films served as producers along with John Penotti and
Fisher Stevens of GreeneStreet Films. Amy Kaufman and Tory Tunnell are
co-producers. Russell Carpenter is the director of photography, Craig McKay
is the editor, Dina Goldman is the production designer, Cynthia Flynt is
the costume designer and Avy Kaufman is the casting director.
