The immediate threat seems to be to Paramount Classics, a division that that has failed to hit it out of the park no matter what kind of quality they have brought to the cinema.
Paramount Classics was created and carved a niche out for itself in the manically frugal Jon Dolgen era where they did as was demanded of them… they earned a decent return on investment and never lost the company money.
And a year or two of a Paramount Classics that is finally allowed to take the chances that Vitale and Dinerstein have often indicated they would like to be able to take could reap the kind of success that Freston is looking for.

 Thank You For Smoking, atom.xml - Defamer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)

Paramount Classics, it should be noted, is less than pleased with this outcome, and wackiness ensues.
When asked if she and [producer David] Sacks had spoken about the dispute, [Paramount Classics co-pres Ruth] Vitale said they did and all Sacks could do was "stutter." She said she got the same response from veteran William Morris sales agent Cassian Elwes, who was representing the film at the festival.
