OK.

So now, let's kill the next studio that bring us a movie poster with BAD montages of heads-over-body and fake stuff like that.

It's not impossible to photoshoot many stars at one time in one place!

Studio has hired seven scribes to tackle projects, some of which Mary Parent and J.J. Abrams are shepherding.

For its first followup to 2011's "Rango," Par turned to DWA vets Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, who wrote "Kung Fu Panda 2," to pen "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 2" that Paul Tibbitt (a scribe for the series) will direct and show creator Stephen Hillenburg is exec producing. Parent, also behind Darren Aronofsky's "Noah" and Guillermo del Toro's "Pacific Rim," will produce.

...The division is also trying to spark development with on-the-lot filmmakers who have no prior animation experience -- Parent and Abrams among them. Details of Abrams' project have yet to be revealed, but Parent and producing partner Cale Boyter also are overseeing "New Kid," an adaptation of Penny Arcade's comic that "The Book of Eli's" Gary Whitta is writing about a lone earthling in a school for aliens.

When Paramount Animation was announced July 2011, many in Hollywood suspected it was done in part to leverage a better deal with DWA. Stainton's abrupt departure in February -- leaving Paramount Motion Picture Group prexy Adam Goodman overseeing the fledgling label -- only fueled that perception.

But since then, Viacom president-CEO Philippe Dauman has backed the effort. He indicated that Par aims to keep budgets around $100 million or less -- closer to Illumination Entertainment's "Despicable Me," which cost Universal $69 million, and the fourth "Ice Age," made by Fox's Blue Sky Studios for around $90 million. Headcount will hover around 30 to 40 people.

...Wherever DWA lands will have its hands full with movies: toon shop already has 10 pics in production and another eight or nine in development. It recently announced a third "Kung Fu Panda," as a Chinese co-production through Oriental DreamWorks.

So, Julia Roberts, Al Pacino or Michelle Pfeiffer never did a Paramount movie?

Yeah, they have actually.Off the top of my head...Julia Roberts did Runaway Bride (granted it was a co-production). You could also count Charlotte's Web, though that was just voice work.Al Pacino and Michele Pfieffer actually were in the same movie for Paramount, Frankie and Johnny.Never mind a little film series Al Pacino did for Paramount called The Godfather.

It has been a terrible year. Paramount needs a comeback. RISE OF THE GUARDIANS might be it.

[baumer]

Wow. They literally have nothing until Paranormal Activity. That sucks.

if some franchises fail, paramount is in big trouble

[lab276]

Yeah, they had virtually nothing all year. It's a shame they have to rely so much on franchises. Not having DWA for several years is going to hurt them badly.

[kayumanggi]

That is why GIJ: RETALIATION needs to perform well. Luckily, they still have TRANSFORMERS.

They need Ryan to take off.

Only one 100M movie, miserable.
