The Unfired
As the studio continues to shutter Paramount Vantage, a few of the survivors are being moved into a Shiny New Division.... Paramount Worldwide Acquisitions Group.
WOO HOO!!!!
In other words, they dumped Amy Israel and the rest of the group is going to go look for movies, same as before, except that they really don't want more than a half-dozen acquisitions a year, so they are offering up the idea that Focus was built on, that Sony is Crouching Tiger and Stephen Chow deep in, and that WB has started chasing a bit... that there is money in films that are funded, made, and distributed with the US as a secondary market. And if the movie turns out to be viable in the US, you already have the rights in house. Team Focus was already strong in international distirbution and Sony has doen really well in the Asian market.
So, good luck to the "Mounters, congrats on keeping your jobs for another 18 months (they way things are going, any one of you could be in change by 2010)... Go PWAG!!!

Now if they would just release pictures like CJ7 and Kung Fu Hustle with a little marketing and a decent 5.1 sound mix....
