No Jim Carrey? At least it has Ed Harris. **The Truman Show** FTW ---

> [@panache45](#): > > I have the same secret. I’m counting on it, myself! 😉 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. ---

The important thing is that they included a former _The Amazing Race_ contestant. ---

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! ---

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?!? ---

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

> [@Yookeroo](#): > > I don’t particularly mind that Justin Bieber is included, but must he be the only one calling attention to himself? 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:: ---

> [@TruCelt](#): > > Is George Clooney goosing Juliane Moore? He is, isn’t he?!? 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). ---

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. ---

> [@gaffa](#): > > Thank you. OK, I admit they actually got all those people together, in one place, in one time _without_ handing them little gold men. 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?
