Hollywood giant Paramount has cut ties with developers building a £3.2billion theme park in Kent due to a row over rights to the studio's blockbuster films.

London Paramount was set to feature more than 50 rides and attractions across 972 acres at the Swanscombe Peninsula, on the banks of the River Thames.

Artwork showed that it due would draw on hit Paramount movies such as Iron Man, Star Trek and Titanic with plans to open by 2022.

However, London Resort Company Holdings, which first revealed plans for the park in 2012, has now been forced to look for new partners after a shock split.

It is believed the firm has chosen to find a different studio partner because Paramount is not able to offer rights to the array of films they need for their resort.

LRCH is said to be confident that the setback will not affect its deadline to submit a planning application in November.

BBC Worldwide, Aardman Animations and the British Film Institute have previously signed an agreement with the park meaning British creations such as Doctor Who and Wallace and Gromit could be among attractions.

It is not thought that this partnership is at risk.

LRCH chief executive Humphrey Percy said he wanted to thank Paramount and would be showing new plans for the site later this year.

He told KentOnline: 'We are working closely with the local authorities, landowners and local community, as well as our other stakeholders, and we very much look forward to showing our plans to the public as part of our final stage of consultation prior to submitting later this year.

'We are creating a unique entertainment destination offering a scale and quality unprecedented in the UK where much-loved characters and stories will be brought to life from iconic movies, television, books, electronic gaming and toys.'

When artwork of the resort's rides and features was first revealed, images showed an entrance lined with Union Jacks and grand white pillared gates with water features on either side.

Plans claimed that in a variation on Disney’s Magic Kingdom, its focal point will be the ‘Myths and Legends castle’.

Developers appeared to have drawn inspiration from gigantic theme parks such as Walt Disney World and Universal Studios.
