2012 marks the 100th anniversary of Paramount Pictures, the only major Hollywood studio to achieve 100 years in the industry (and the only major studio still in Hollywood!). To honor this momentous occasion, Paramount Pictures has released a “100 Years of Movie Magic” app for the iPad.

Here’s what the press release has to say about the app:

“The app is an exploration of the studio’s incredibly rich and storied history. From Paramount’s modest beginning in 1912 with Queen Elizabeth to Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, the app provides a fresh and innovative opportunity to experience your favorite films by flipping through never-before-seen photos, watching memorable film clips, and listening to timeless music scores.

This unique keepsake also includes an overview of Paramount’s story, a Studio Tour and a specially designed Scene it? game – all of which you can share with your friends and family on email, Twitter, and Facebook.”

You can download the app to the iPad as well as to your PC or Mac with the Adobe Air version which will be available on the 100th anniversary intranet site Jan. 4.
