Paramount Home Entertainment has announced a slate of direct-to-video projects, mostly based on theatrical pictures in the libraries of Paramount entities such as Paramount Vantage, DreamWorks, MTV Films and Nickelodeon Movies.

Most of the direct-to-video movies that will be produced are sequels, prequels or spinoffs of successful films, such as Road Trip, Bad News Bears, Naked Gun, Mean Girls and Grease. The studio arm producing these films, called 'Paramount Famous.' will also will develop filmed entertainment content with Viacom-owned cable networks such as BET, Comedy Central and Spike TV.

Shooting has just wrapped on Without a Paddle: Nature's Calling, a sequel to the 2004 theatrical comedy about three men on a camping expedition to find the lost D.B. Cooper bounty. It grossed $58.2 million in U.S. theaters.
