[ May 20th 2008 ]
Paramount
Pictures has announced a brand new theme park
and resort complex will open in South Korea in
2011. The park will include rides and attractions
based on its film portfolio including Mission
Impossible and Lara
Croft Tomb Raider.
Ironically,
the studio recently rebranded its Kings
Island Tomb Raider thrill ride to The Crypt,
removing reference to the original video-game
it was based on.
"South
Korea is a fast-growing and attractive market,"
said Michael Corcoran, president of Paramount
Pictures Corp's consumer products and recreation
group. "It's a business-friendly market and culturally
sophisticated."
The 1.5-billion-dollar
theme park project is a joint venture between
Paramount Pictures and a South Korean auto retailer.
