The studio has joined BBC Studios and ITV Studios in contributing from among their range of intellectual property.

Paramount Pictures, home to some of the world’s most iconic films including The Godfather, The Italian Job, the Mission: Impossible franchise and post-apocalyptic hit A Quiet Place, will be working with The London Resort to create a range of awe-inspiring experiences.

PY Gerbeau, newly appointed Chief Executive of London Resort Company Holdings (LRCH) said:

“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. 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 realising that ambition.”

Kevin Suh, President of Themed Entertainment and Consumer Products for Paramount Pictures said:

“The London Resort represents a truly global resort opportunity and we’re delighted to be playing our part in bringing iconic movies to life in truly immersive experiences and rides. We’re also delighted, as the most iconic studio in Hollywood, to be sharing our unparalleled catalogue of instantly recognisable films and characters.”

The London Resort has now pursued a strategy of working with individual partners to create a range of world leading experiences – all under one roof. The new deal will see Paramount join BBC Studios and ITV Studios, which has licensed its kids TV brands, in being part of what the developers hope will be one of the most visited tourist attractions in Europe.

It is to be set over 535 acres, three times larger than other UK theme parks, with 200 acres dedicated to rides and experiences and a bespoke entertainment district devoted to a full-suite of hospitality experiences including the provision of thousands of hotel rooms.

Millions of pounds have already been invested in The London Resort, which is set to be one of the largest construction projects across Europe. Situated just 17 minutes from London, on the Swanscombe Peninsula, Kent, the resort will create thousands of jobs and once open will be a major regional contributor to the UK economy.
