"LOS ANGELES - Paramount Pictures said Sunday it had agreed to buy independent film studio DreamWorks SKG Inc. in a deal worth $1.6 billion in cash and debt.

The deal strengthens Paramount's live action film business and gives the unit of Viacom Inc. access to DreamWorks's library of 59 films, including the Oscar-winning "American Beauty" and "Gladiator."

It also marks the end of an 11-year dream for Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen, who had ambitious goals for DreamWorks that included television, music, films and the Internet.

The announcement was made by Brad Grey, chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures, who noted that enhancing Paramount's pipeline of pictures is a "key strategic objective in restoring Paramounts stature as a leader in filmed entertainment."

The agreement does not include DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc., the most profitable part of the company that went public last year. But Paramount does gain the right to distribute the studio's lucrative animated films, including the "Shrek" franchise."

My DOG took a shit on Geffen's lawn once.
