Fake Twitter accounts have been around as long as Twitter itself, and they continue to be a headache for people and brands, even those with official accounts. The latest to negatively affect the film business is @ParamountFilms](http://twitter.com/@ParamountFilms), which should not be confused with the legit @ParamountPics](http://twitter.com/paramountpics). Of course, the former is so undermining that it couldn’t possibly be taken as authentic by anyone. Still, it is a humorously subversive feed, Tweeting such goodies as “Not since we released Breakfast At Tiffany’s has Paramount been prouder to bring yellow face 2 cinemas with our fantastic The Last Airbender.” Other attacks on the studio involve the exploitation of 3D, remakes, the lack of funding for *Anchorman 2 *and an implication that Paramount is in bed with Scientology for the financing of Mission: Impossible 4.
Amusing, sure, but is it a big deal? Probably not, though *Deadline *claims](Who's Behind Twitter's @ParamountFilms?) the Tweets are being written by “a multtalented actor-writer-director-producer angry at the studio.” Obvious guesses are that Will Ferrell is behind the account, because so many of the criticisms involve the lack of support for the *Anchorman *sequel and are directed to the attention of Adam McKay’s Twitter](http://twitter.com/ghostpanther). McKay could also be the culprit himself, solely or collaboratively. Remember that McKay got the ball rolling on Paramount protests with his original Tweet about the *Anchorman 2 *status. And @ParamountFilms was initiated a day later. Coincidence? Is it likely at least someone associated with the movie or Ferrell/McKay is behind the account? Does it matter?
