Paramount scores with Scorsese

Movie mogul Martin Scorsese has replaced Tom Cruise as the big man at Paramount after signing a four-year, first-look deal to develop projects with studio executives.

Just days after Scorsese scored his biggest cinema hit by taking new film The Departed past the $100m (€78.3m) mark at the US box office, Paramount boss Brad Grey announced he's thrilled to welcome Scorsese.
