EON Productions - Film industry

British Independent Film Company


The British independent film company that I have chosen to research is Eon Production. This film company is based in London's Piccadilly and also operates from pinewood studios. This British independent film company is most famously known for making the bond series.
The people who started of this company was Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman. This is a family corporation that has been going on since 1961. As I have said before, this film company is most famously know for the James Bond series, but when they were no longer apart, Broccoli made Chitty Chitty Band Bang, which was released on the 16th of December 1968. Broccoli had been intrigued in the bond films for many years, but his partner was never into getting them done. After a while Saltzman and broccoli stopped working together as partners, which allowed broccoli to create the bond novels into films that he has been wanting to do for years. The first bond film was released in 1962, the next in 1963, then 1964, then after that the fourth was in1665. The last Bond film that Broccoli made was released in 1966, and this was sadly before he passed away in the same year. Eon productions was then passed onto his daughter Barbara Broccoli, and his stepson and half-brother by actress Dana Wilson Broccoli, Michael G. Wilson. The production company is still owned by the broccoli family today, and the family carried on making all 24 Bond films.
