Paramount Pictures president of production Elizabeth Raposo has exited the studio. This has been a rumor around town ever since Wyck Godfrey exited after Emma Watts became president of the Paramount Motion Picture Group in late June. Godfrey and Raposo worked closely together. Here is the internal memo just sent out at Paramount by Watts. Raposo is an effective exec and she will be scooped up quickly.
