All the Old Paramount Movies Are Becoming New Paramount+ Shows
Do kids even know what being preppy is anymore? Photo: Paramount/Kobal/Shutterstock The era of streaming TV means never having to say you’re sorry , especially if you’re a corporate overlord mining the IP you already own for ideas. Per The Hollywood Reporter , ViacomCBS is developing a whole bevy of TV series for the newly rebranded Paramount+ based on classic Paramount movies, because why make something new when you can make something vaguely new based on something old.

Sir Ben Ainslie: End of our America’s Cup challenge hurts – but we’ll be back
OPINION: The past couple of days have not been much fun. I woke up at around 5am on Wednesday and for a minute I thought we were still right in the thick of it. Then it hit me again: we are out of the running for this America's Cup. It is going to take a while to process, but that is sport. If you are going to compete at the highest level, you have to accept the risk that you may not win, and if you do not it will really hurt. Like all Cup campaigns it has been full-on, not just the past six months but the past four years. That said, it has been a huge privilege to have been hosted here in this beautiful country. Given the challenges the world has been facing, that opportunity is not lost on us. Thank you, New Zealand.
