Hollywood USA: A Little Bit of Hollywood Everywhere

New York, N.Y. (CUTLASS) 10/19/2004
Cutlass, Inc. announces the launch of Hollywood USA, the first wireless guide to movie and TV locations across the country. This new interactive travel experience exploits the image capabilities of the latest cell phones to match popular interest in movie locations to feature classic and recently released productions. Each Hollywood USA site shows a color image of the location, a description of the scene, details of the movie, including actors, director, release date and DVD cover. As a J2ME downloaded application, Hollywood USA targets the color screen cell phones and related wireless devices.

"As a former movie location scout, the idea of joining cell phone technology with this new form of tour guide is a great way to let everyone behind the scenes," says Steve Bull, CEO of Cutlass, Inc. Anyone with a cell phone can now conveniently match their favorite movie scenes with the locations as they look today--and to follow in the footsteps of the celebrities themselves. With Hollywood USA's color location images and detailed descriptions of key scenes, movies come alive.
