Paramound Expands J.J. Abrams Deal

Paramount has extended its first-look deal with the J.J. Abrams-run production company, Bad Robot. Â  The new deal will take the pairing through 2013.

“Bad Robot has had an incredibly fun and productive collaboration with Paramount,” said Abrams. “We are all so grateful for their amazing support and creative team, and feel like we’re just getting started.”

“Today’s announcement is meaningful to me in many ways,” said Brad Grey, chairman and CEO, Paramount Pictures. “Bad Robot was one of the first deals we made to help rebuild the studio. 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.”
