Other Research-COMA

•I have found that there is already a film called Coma, in-fact there are quiet a few as you can see below.

1) Coma, directed Michael Crichton in 1978 (thriller/mystery)
2) Coma (TV), directed by Paula van der Oest in 1994
3) Coma, directed by Arash Moirian in 2004 (comedy/drama)
4) Coma, directed by Liz Garbus in 2007/1 (documentary/reality TV)
5) Coma, directed by Anil Baral in 1998 (short)
6) Coma, directed by Stuart Charles in 2005 (short)
7) Coma, directed by Maria Beatty in 2007/2 (short/fantasy)
8) Coma, directed by Luis Felipe Hernandez Alanis in 2006 (short/animation)

The film which stands out the most is the first one which was produced in 1987 and is one of the only few which is an English production and it also has some inter textual reference with my film because the narrative is very similar.
The narrative of this film is about a young woman doctor who notices something sinister going on in her hospital and healthy patients are having 'complications' during operations and ending up in comas. The patients are then shipped off to an institute that looks after them. The young doctor suspects there is more to the story.
This film is just like my group idea (final production) because it contains the same short of genre and also has the same type of narrative as it is all based around some one or people in coma/s. So my film has the inter textual reference with this film.

All of this information and research came from- http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=coma&x=0&y=0
