Who Is Next At Paramount?
The suddenly hot name on the street for the Rob Friedman job is Rob Moore.
Moore has been an equity partner in Revolution Studios since the company launched. Before that, he was the executive vice president operations & finance for Walt Disney Studios.
During Moore's 13-year career at Disney, he was instrumental in putting together numerous strategic relationships for the studio including Disney's output agreement with Pixar Animation Studios, the acquisition of Miramax Films and the financing/production agreement with Spyglass Entertainment.
If Moore comes on next, it is likely that he will not be the one changing the face of marketing or Home Entertainment, but securing the financial base of the company.

since fantastic four is doing so well maybe they'll hire our good buddy jw. the only one in the country to fawn over it.

Maybe this will finally steer Paramount into some quality projects. I seriousaly doubt it since the culture there needs to be changed and more execs need to go.

I don't know much about really any of these execs in the business. Not really up on any of them.

Paramount can't get much worse. Can they?

Charlies and the Chocolate Factory was called the best movie of the summer by the NY Post. I think it just moved up my list of movies to see.

I have my resentments towards the new one since I am a huge fan of the Gene WIlder version.

Will be tough for my boy Johnny to recreate the classic Wonka that Gene Wilder gave us. At least we all know that he won't be copying anything.

i can't wait to see the bad news bears. if they dont sell out and make it pc it should be great. same team behind bad santa.

It's PG-13, so it won't be anywhere near as filthy and raunchy as the wonderful Bad Santa, but hopefully it stretches the rating to its limit and doesn't become too soft or PC.

It will be hard to replace Walter Mathau(sp?) and the kids. They were the heart and soul of the film. It is one of the all time classics so I hope they go all out. I heard an interview at the all star game on tues with Billy Bob. He promised that it won't be PC.

pg-13 , r, today theres almost no difference. we're just not gonna see amanda wurlitzers boobs. which is good since shes 12. i got faith in the bad santa team to go all out. i hope.

I'll be at Wedding Crashers this weekend. It is numero uno on my list for this weekend.
Posted by: Bruce at July 15, 2005 09:02 PM
Wedding Crashers will be a smash hit. Mark it down.
Posted by: Mark at July 15, 2005 10:12 PM
If Wedding Crashers fails they only have themselves to blame with the market wide open for a comedy now.

The Bears are going to surprise a lot of people with how good it really is. It's not the '76 version but its damn good in its own way.
