After the deal of the cooperation between The London Resort (formerly: “London Paramount”, we recently reported in EAP news of 14 May 2019) and the US film production company Paramount Pictures had been discontinued in mid-2017 (cp. EAP news of 24 June 2017), the two companies have now entered into a new partnership. Besides BBC Studios and ITV Studios, Paramount Pictures will now also be present as IP licenser in the resort. In addition, PY Gerbeau was appointed new Chief Executive of London Resort Company Holdings (LRCH), the developer behind the project.
“The new partnership with Paramount is fantastic news for everyone. Now the best of Hollywood will be joining the best of British from BBC Studios and ITV Studios, to create amazing and unique experiences for the whole family,” says PY Gerbeau. He continues, “I am delighted to join The London Resort and to play my part in helping to create a world-class destination to rival all others. Central to that strategy is to partner with the best brands from across TV, film, music and entertainment. Having Paramount on board is a major step towards realizing that ambition.” (eap)
