The authors prove that every projective movable continuum \(X\) is shape dominated by a regularly movable continuum of the same dimension. An important consequence of this result is that projective movable continua are pointed movable. This gives a partial answer to the old problem of whether movable continua are pointed movable. Another consequence is a positive answer to a special case of an embedding problem raised by Borsuk in 1975 related to a coefficient \(e(X)\) that the authors name Borsuk's index.
