So few from the "Golden Age", but hey - at least we have Justin Bieber.

100th anniversary Photoshop collage. Call me a cynic, but if JJ Abrams' head is twice the size of Tom Cruises...well, I guess that would explain a lot.

[aruvqan]

Jamie Lee Curtis is still smoking hot!

And I did not know that Ernest Borgnine, Kirk Douglas, Jerry Lewis and Mickey Rooney were still alive. Amazing, they are getting to be the last of the Studio Contract Players left, I guess.

[obfusciatrist]

Ask Ernest Borgnine what the secret to his longevity is.

I, unfortunately, know the answer to that question.

[Little Nemo]

I was surprised at how old James Caan and Michael York now look.

[Pai325]

Robert De Niro doesn't look happy to be in the picture.

I don't particularly mind that Justin Bieber is included, but must he be the only one calling attention to himself?

[Robot Arm]

Not a bad lineup, all things considered. Nice touch having John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John next to each other.

Marlee Matlin still got it goin' on, too.

Yes, but we can't all divorce Ethel Merman, can we?

Well, he's got to be at least 30 feet from Martin Scorsese. It's the furthest apart they've been in years.

I'm going to say it's not a photoshop job. I worked at Paramount during it's 90th and that wasn't a collage.

I don't see Nimoy. Shatner is there and Chris Pine and Zach Quiznos are there together.

Of course Takei is there but not next to Shatner.


PS Tom Cruise is pretty short/small.


PSS Brad Grey fired me.

Who the heck is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley?

(oh, apparently she was in one of the Transformers movie. No wonder I've never heard of her)

I have the same secret.

Or maybe the closest they've been in years. It's been seventeen years since Scorsese and De Niro did a movie together. Nowadays, Scorsese hangs out with Leonardo DiCaprio.

Wouldn't some Photoshopping always be necessary to acheive a picture like this? I mean, everybody has their eyes open!

I guess you never looked in a Victoria's Secret catalog either.

[Krokodil]

Man, no one wanted to sit next to Jerry Lewis! I guess his stock has dropped recently...

[Max Torque]

Huh, a picture of a bunch of people photobombing Patton Oswalt. Bet he's pissed.

Those women have names?

[Iggins]

I'm glad they grouped the Brads together.

No one wants to sit near them, they all have Brad breath.

My friend Donna insist that Mickey Rooney is Satan, and I see nothing in that photo to contradict her.

I'll believe it's not a composite when I see behind the scenes video of the shoot. Until then, it looks like at least a dozen separate shoots to me.

[MyFootsZZZ]

No Jim Carrey? At least it has Ed Harris.

The Truman Show FTW

I was surprised at how old so many of them look. How could that have happened?
Also, Jamie Lee does still look fabulous.

When I first saw Marlee Matlin, I thought she was Sarah Jessica Parker. Must just be the picture. Then I found the magnifier.

[obfusciatrist]

The important thing is that they included a former The Amazing Race contestant.

[NoClueBoy]

At least Star Trek is represented. UPN's flagship franchised TV franchise for a while. And a few movies.

Jerry Lewis and Eddie Murphy are posed next to each other. That's Nutty, Professor!

[TruCelt]

Is George Clooney goosing Juliane Moore? He is, isn't he?!? what a dip.

Billy Bob Thornton looks seriously ill.

York and Rooney both look like Nolte has really bad breath.

Kevin Costner looks like Jimmy Carter. WTF?!?

It's that yogurt. Makes ya poop, you know.

[Hypno-Toad]

Demi made sure to get as close to Bieber as possible. Looking to replace Ashton, I guess.

[Encinitas]

Bud Cort!

I think he's going for the wacky, "whimsical youth" aspect is all: "And Kooky Bieber!" [nyuk nyuk]

I am fail Belieber for wondering what he has to do with Paramount - oh that whole biopic thing ::facepalm::

Wouldn't you ?

Other things I noticed : actors from the 3 Godfather movies sitting in a row. (James Caan, Andy Garcia, Robert De Niro). They reunited Jennifer and Oliver (Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw).

Thank you. OK, I admit they actually got all those people together, in one place, in one time without handing them little gold men.

And Simon Pegg and Bruce Greenwood and Karl Urban and John Cho and Anton Yelchin...

about half this picture is a Star Trek reunion.

[Little Nemo]

They should have had Carla Laemmle there. She may not be as famous as the others in the crowd but she's the only working actress who's older than Paramount. She started out in silent movies and she's still making movies in 2012.

[TruCelt]

You know, now that I look at it, poor Justin must have been stuck between Robert Downey and Demi Moore. You can see how a kid might get nervous. . .

[Bryan Ekers]

Awww, isn't that cute. They reunited John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John......

So why did you think it was a bunch of separate shoots? Do you see any tell tale signs of it? Do you not realize that these people live or work there and would be freaking honored to be included in this photo? Do you not realize that flying these people to LA would not be difficult?

I realize most of these people would be in the LA area, but a good percentage of them would be working elsewhere in the world. Did they have a whole separate studio for the assistants?
