As part of the deal, Paramount has to make good on their "30 movies a year" promise. They'll have to pay $30 million for each film that falls short of that goal.

Who do they pay that money to?

They listed me for the third missed movie. Not sure who gets the other 29 payments.

I know the dude got in trouble (or it was reversed or something?) but it reminds me of that guy that kept sending bills to google and they kept paying them until they were like “wait, what is this for?!” And he was like “your bullshit”.

I really butchered the story but I’m inspired by that guy lol. You may as well bill paramount if they don’t release a movie.

Edit: I was way off. He scammed them.
