Paramount Pictures 

1912 Adolph Zukor, Jesse L. Lasky and Cecil B. DeMille are credited as Paramount's principal founding fathers. The visionary Zukor laid the foundation for the company by acquiring the U.S. distribution rights to the silent French film Queen Elizabeth, a groundbreaking four-reel feature in a time when two reels was the norm. Its overwhelming success propelled Zukor's Famous Players Film Company to great heights, and in the process, transformed the business of entertainment forever.
1914  Inspired by Zukor's success, Jesse L. Lasky soon teamed with first time director Cecil B. DeMille to make a film version of the successful stage play The Squaw Man. It was the first feature-length film actually made in Hollywood, and marked the debut of the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company.
1916 Zukor and Lasky combined their efforts in 1916 with the formation of their Famous Players-Lasky Corporation. Zukor served as President, Lasky as Vice President in charge of production, DeMille as Director General, and Lasky's brother-in-law, Samuel Goldfish (who would later be known as Samuel Goldwyn and soon leave to pursue his own ventures) as Chairman of the Board. Months later, after another merger with a nascent film distribution exchange called Paramount Pictures, the resulting entity became Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation.
1992 The '90s welcomed producer Sherry Lansing as Chairman in 1992, a position she would hold for 14 years. And, in 1994, Paramount's parent company, Paramount Communications, merged with Viacom Inc. under the leadership of Executive Chairman of the Board and Founder, Sumner Redstone. The decade was punctuated by the release of Titanic in December 1997, which reigned for more than a decade as Hollywood's top box-office attraction.
2011, Paramount released an industry-record six consecutive movies grossing more than $100 million dollars at the domestic box office, with Rango, Thor, Kung Fu Panda, Super 8, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and Captain America.
2012 Our 100th year has indeed been an exceptional milestone. Upcoming releases include the continuation of the Paranormal Activity franchise, Fun Size, Denzel Washington in Robert Zemeckis' Flight, Tom Cruise in Jack Reacher, Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away 3D, Not Fade Away, and The Guilt Trip.

Cuban Fury


1987: A 13 year old natural born dancer with fire in his heels and snakes in his hips is working himself up to explode all over the UK Junior Salsa Championships. But then: a freakish bullying incident on the mean streets of London robs him of his confidence, and our young hero finds his life diverted down a very different path. So it is that 22 years later, an adult Bruce Garrett (Nick Frost) finds himself out-of-shape and unloved - trapped in a downward spiral of self-pity, repression and Nando's take-outs. Only Julia (Rashida Jones), his smart, funny, gorgeous new American boss, gives him reason to live. But she's untouchable. Out of his league, so he imagines, with her perfect smile and perfect life. Unknown to Bruce however, Julia has issues all of her own. Luckily for him, she also has a secret passion. Then there's Drew (Chris O'Dowd), his alpha male colleague and horny king-monkey of the office. With Drew making no secret of his desire to get (his words) "all up inside Julia", Bruce is forced into action. And thus, Bruce is once again brought face-to-face with the darkest and most powerful of his inner demons. Somehow, someway, and with a lot of hand-holding from loyal sister Sam (Olivia Colman) Bruce must learn how to unshackle his dancing beast, regain his long lost fury and claim the love of his life...and he's going to do it all On The Dance Floor...- Written by StudioCanal
