Paramount Pictures has decided to make video clips of its movies available for use over the Internet through Facebook.
An application called "VooZoo" developed by FanRocket, now allows Facebook users to access footage of thousands of Paramount movies including "The Ten Commandments" and "Forrest Gump" to send to others on the popular social networking site.
The clips last from a few seconds to several minutes, and cover the gamut of expressions right from Eddie Murphy's guffaws in "Beverly Hills Cop" to Audrey Hepburn's pleas over her 'no-name slob cat' in "Breakfast at Tiffany's".
This also makes Paramount Pictures the first major studio to make video clips of its movies available for use on the Internet. In addition, the company is using this as a marketing platform for promoting and selling DVDs of its upcoming movies.
However, users will have to wait for some more time, as the company will need over a year to make their choice from thousands of video clips in their archives, and tag them with search terms.
In a separate announcement, Facebook has announced the launch of a French language version of the site to join the Spanish and German language versions.
Similar to the Spanish and German versions, the French version is also made by the French-speaking members of the site.
