Paramount Picture has announced a deal that will see it make thousands of movie clips available to Facebook users. Silicon Valley developer FanRocket will launch an application called VooZoo which will go live Monday (LA time). Paramount will use the clips to market its extensive catalogue of DVDs.When a clip - which could be anything from a few second snippet from Beverly Hills Cop, to several minutes from classics like Breakfast at Tiffanys - a button will appear that users can click to buy a DVD. The service gives Facebook users access to footage from thousands of movies, ranging from The Ten Commandments to Forrest Gump, to send to others on the popular social networking site.

The short clips for a movie that you’ve already seen before helps you relive the moment. The studio will market DVDs of the movies through a button that appears after each clip is played. It eventually wants to use the application to virally market upcoming releases. For example, VooZoo is withholding clips from the “Indiana Jones” series until it works out a way to market the May 22 release of the latest installment, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
