It seems to be an enhancement to Final Cut Pro.

Cinema Tools for Final Cut Pro enhances Final Cut Pro 3's 24fps editing capabilities with support for film cut lists and 24-frame edit decision lists (EDLs) for high-definition (HD) video.

Could this be what became of Nothing Real? Maybe just the first step.
UPDATE: Here's a MacCentral article about it:

An Apple spokesperson confirmed with MacCentral that Cinema Tools 1.0 incorporates some of the same technology used in FilmLogic, a product with some similar characteristics developed by Focal Point Systems. Focal Point Systems was acquired by Apple in April, 2001.
Apple noted that Cinema Tools technology has already been used to edit two upcoming Miramax Film releases -- Steven Soderbergh's "Full Frontal," and "Blue Car," which drew crowds at this year's 2002 Sundance Film Festival.

By the way, Cinema Tools is only available for pre-order right now. It will ship in may.
Interesting, though. So this is what became of Focal Point Systems.
I'm glad Apple is using the technology that was in the companies it acquired.
