Paramount Pictures began in 1912 and was founded by a New Yorker Adolph Zuckor. It's history began when Zukor bought the distribution rights to a film called 'Queen Elizabeth', made by a woman called Sarah Bernhardt. On July 12th 1912, the film was shown. The first full length drama to be shown in America was an instant hit and inspired Zukor to found the 'Famous Players Film Company'. they made made films such as 'The Count of Monte Cristo' and 'the Prisoner of Zenda'. One year later, Zukor invested into his own film distribution company, 'Paramount Pictrures'.
Some films that Paramount Pictures has distributed include:
Some Romantic Comedies/Dramas that 'Paramount Pictures' have distributed include:
- Stardust
- Save the last Dance
- Funny about love
- The Great Gatsby
- The Run Away Bride
These films have helped me see what makes a good film. A bad film wouldn't have made it to such a big company so these films hjave something in them/about them that makes them great. These films can give the inspiration to create our own version of what they have done to make such a successful film.
