Paramount Cuts Back For 2009

It’s another sign the economy sucks when movie studios are pushing back the release of films with A-list stars and cutting back their output. Beset by budget problems, Paramount is pushing back “The Soloist” starring Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. from Thanksgiving to March and Daniel Craig’s “Defiance” from December to January. Representatives of the studio told the L.A. Times that studio would release no more than 20 films next year. Hard times tend to make audiences long for lighter, frothier fare from Hollywood—can we expect a sequel to “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” in 2009?
