Paramount Stays Tight With Bad RobotBy Rafe Telsch: 2009-03-26 17:21:41
Paramount isn’t waiting to see how J.J. Abrams’ reboot of the Star Trek franchise will do before deciding on their future with the filmmaker. The studio has extended their distribution deal with Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions through the year 2013, reports Variety, continuing a deal that started in 2006.
Abrams has certainly provided Paramount with a good deal of success, like last year’s Cloverfield, but I have to admit a little bit of surprise to hear Paramount is already extending their deal. If the Abrams produced and directed Star Trek tanks, the studio is already locked in for more movies with Abrams. Usually I’d expect to see a major studio playing things a little more wary, particularly with something like Trek where fans can be so fickle. I don’t know if Paramount execs are just that confident about the new Trek, but CEO Brad Grey is particularly excited about extending the relationship with Abrams. ”Bad Robot was one of the first deals we made to help rebuild the studio. Grey told the press. ”J.J. has since become part of the fabric of Paramount, and we look forward to continuing our fruitful creative collaboration for many years to come."
