Eon Productions is a film production company
known for producing the James Bond film
series. The company is based in London's
Piccadilly and also operates from Pinewood
Studios in the United Kingdom. It is a
subsidiary of Danjaq LLC, the holdinG
company responsible for the copyright and
trademarks to the Bond characters and
elements on screen.

Eon, a closely held (private and family) corporation, was started by film
producers Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli and Harry Saltzman in 1961, at the
same time they partnered and sought financing for Dr. No the year before
they formed Danjaq, which for legal reasons became Eon's holding
company from which it licenses the copyright protections allowing Eon to
produce the Bond films. Cubby Broccoli had been interested in the Bond
novels rights for several years but was dissuaded from making them
project by his former partner. When they dissolved their relationship he
was free to pursue the property, for which Saltzman, a novice to film
production had taken a gamble to acquire. The two were introduced by a
New York writer who was acquainted with both, and formed a
partnership within a week of meeting. The enterprise was and is still very
much a family business, including both wives and the principal partners,
as well as several of their progeny, the latter group now carrying on their
parents' work. Cubby almost immediately included Dana Broccoli's
college aged son Michael G. Wilson in even the early films doing various
production jobs and his engineering education was put to good use
occasionally in some of the series' special effects.

In 1975, after nine Bond films, Harry Saltzman sold his shares of
Danjaq to United Artists (the then-current Bond series distributor).
Although Albert R. Broccoli died in 1996, Eon Productions is still
owned by the Broccoli family, specifically Albert R. Broccoli's
daughter, Barbara Broccoli and his stepson and her half-brother
by actress Dana Wilson Broccoli, Michael G. Wilson, who are the
current producers of the James Bond films.
Albert R. Broccoli's name has appeared in the opening "presents"
credit of every Eon-produced James Bond film, and always as the
very first name in the credits from The Spy Who Loved Me onwards.
From Dr. No through The Man with the Golden Gun, the credit was
"Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman present"; for some films
Saltzman originally came first (and still does in the film itself
and/or its original posters), but all present-day printed credits
have been changed to list Broccoli first. After Saltzman left, the
opening credit was simply "Albert R. Broccoli presents" through
to GoldenEye (the last film made before Broccoli's death), even after
Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson replaced him as
producers. On all films since Broccoli's death, the opening credit is
"Albert R. Broccoli's Eon Productions presents", with "Limited"
usually added after "Productions" in the film proper.

The copyrights and trademarks for the film properties
(beginning with Dr. No) are held by Danjaq andUnited
Artists Corporation; the latter was bought by Metro-GoldwynMayer in 1981, but as an MGM subsidiary its name still
appears in Bond copyright and trademark disclaimers to this
day. Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008)
and Skyfall(2012) were co-distributed with Columbia
Pictures (which appeared along with Danjaq and United
Artists in their copyright disclaimers); this arrangement will
continue for the 24th Bond film.
The video rights for all of Eon's Bond films are owned
by MGM Home Entertainment, and are presently controlled by
MGM's distributor 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
Sony Pictures Home Entertainmentinitially assumed the video
rights to Casino Royale, but the 2012 home video editions of this
film were issued by MGM and 20th Century Fox.

Since their first film, Dr. No in 1962, Eon has only made one
non-Bond film: Call Me Bwana (1963), starring Bob Hope.
(Though Saltzman and Broccoli produced other films
separately: Broccoli produced the film Chitty Chitty Bang
Bang, based on a book by Ian Fleming; Saltzman produced
several non-Bond films during this time including The Ipcress
File and Battle of Britan.)
Another non-Bond project from either 1963 or 1964 - The
Marriage Game written by Terry Southernand to have been
directed by Peter Yates - did not go into production.
In 2008 Eon signed a deal with Columbia Pictures to develop
fifteen thrillers and family films outside the Bond
franchise, with budgets of up to $80 million (£40 million). The
company hopes the move will allow more British writers to
establish themselves in the United States.

In 2000, Eon productions served a cease and
desist letter to Cheapass Games to stop them
from using the name "Mr. Bond" in the title of
their game Before I Kill You, Mr. Bond. In
2004, the game was reissued under the
title James Ernest's Totally Renamed Spy Game.
