Paramount Archives – We're Fusible

The Hollywood Reporter reported in late January that Paramount Pictures and Katy Perry were in talks about creating a documentary-style 3D film.

Although only in the early stages, Paramount Pictures must be fairly confident that a deal will be struck.

On February 9, 2012, the movie studio registered a handful of domain names for possible movie titles like KatyPerrymovie.com and KatyPerryCaliforniaGurlmovie.com.

In total, Paramount Pictures registered five domains.

At the time of this story, none of the domains resolve to a web page.

Paramount working on Phantoms movie?

Paramount Pictures, among many of its projects, is said to be working on film sequels to Transformers and Paranormal Activity, as well as a reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It looks like another film is in the pipeline for Paramount called “Phantoms” according to recent domain name registrations.

On November 11th, Paramount Pictures registered the domains Phantomsmovie.com and Phantomsthemovie.com through the internet brand protection company MarkMonitor.

In 1998, Dimension Films released its own “Phantoms” horror film adapted from the 1983 novel by Dean Koontz that starred Ben Affleck. According to Box Office Mojo, the film only grossed $5,624,282 domestically.

It’s unkown whether Paramount Pictures has acquired the rights to “Phantoms” for a remake or whether Paramount has its own original screenplay.
