Paramount’s got plans. On Thursday morning, the Melrose studio filled its CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas not only with sneak peeks, but an avalanche of film announcements for projects in the production pipeline for 2025 and 2026.
The presentation also featured what has become an annual CinemaCon tradition: domestic distribution chief Chris Aronson making a spectacular comedic entrance, followed by a keynote speech in which he delivers some tough love for the theater owners in attendance. Aronson came on stage dressed as a gladiator to promote Ridley Scott’s upcoming sequel to 2000’s “Gladiator,” ushered in by a Roman battalion and riding a chariot.
